Bittersweet

Holding all of my thoughts and feelings inside
For I cannot share them with the world.

Clutch them tightly to my chest
Keeping a death grip on them
So no one can steal them away.

They are mine...
And while I would share,
with you,
I cannot seem to make it work so I can.

The enormity of them is so hard to contain
I'm surprised that no one can see them
For they sparkle...

Because they are bursting with light and joy
And surely their essence is shining through my eyes.

But alas,
I must keep them under tight control
and hidden
For they are forbidden
And therefore my love is....bittersweet.
