Our bittersweet battle is Jersey-knit cotton.
Our bittersweet battle is empty bookshelves.
Our bittersweet battle is my cast-iron innocence.
Our bittersweet battle is a hidden cage.

Our bittersweet battle is citric on cracked lips.
Our bittersweet battle is dried flowers.
Our bittersweet battle is your soup in my cupboard.
Our bittersweet battle is unhealed scars.

Our bittersweet battle is my childhood regression.
Our bittersweet battle is disappointment.
Our bittersweet battle is divided expression.
Our bittersweet battle is translusive.
