The Bittersweet

There is something bittersweet about having your heart break
while there is pain and distress and a feeling of utter despair
there is a sense of reassurance that this can create
knowing that you still could care

Once again I trusted and was deceived
and this burden I now must heave
But I am glad there is something left to hurt
that someone could make me feel, even if my heart you did desert

I thought there was nothing left of me
an empty shell left to act to the worlds desires
but there was someone who could for time make me see
that I had much more potential for a person I could be

I know the time was short spent
and that too much of my heart I lent
but I am thankful for what you gave me
because for once I could feel and perceive
