The first definition of bitterness:
Sharpness of taste; lack of sweetness
The second: resentment
Those definitions go hand in hand
When used to describe your demeanor
Life tossed too many lemons
Leaving a gaping hole in your compassion
Even the sweetest of fruits or richest of chocolates
Could not mask or wash out your disdain
But I have heard our taste buds change
If you would only give it time
You can find the sweetness of honey again
And allow the acrimony to leave your mind
