Bitters from OK, BELOVEDS by Team Bright

Bitters

How long have I been waiting here
for you to reappear
and I want, like white on ice,
to disappear into paradise

it’s the scent of honey deep within
that tells me I’m your kin
it takes a dark song, from the chestnut flowers
the turning hours, to bring the bitter in

How long have you been holding strong,
waiting on me to come along
when I want, like cream in tea,
to let you in
to every part of me

it’s the leaves’ surrender, coming all undone
that tells me I’m all in, tells me I’m your one
it takes a sweet note, from the slowest string
to open up these wings
and draw your sugar in
