Life, Our Bitter-Sweet Now
Gabriel Duncan

Fitting, it is
That life is never ending
But short and bitter-sweet
How it leaves you with enough
Joy-sprinkled sweets
To keep you coming back from the melancholy
Fitting, how it is
That the past be written on reminders
How reminders
Just like the future
Are forgotten
How the bitter-sweet
Is only the lemon we drink our tea with
Funny, how it is
