If you happen to stop by
somewhere between Sadness and Joy
ask for me
I'm the one they call Bittersweet.
sister of irony
daughter of Love and Loss
Come,
let's talk a while
I'll tell you my stories
happy, sad, poignant stories
of death in the midst of happiness
and new life among sorrow.
I am a new kind of philosophy
straightforward and doused in truth
let me take your hand
and I can sing of reality,
coulda shoulda wouldas,
and dizzying conclusions.
