Bees offer honey far more readily than they sting,

But what you offered was spite, instead of the love that you could bring.

Good to watch you go, hard to be without,

Always back with smiles, pushing back my doubt.

A voice coated in honey, veiling the bees,

Whose stinging words so sharp, could bring me to my knees.

So easy to hate you, but loving comes more natural

And still you toss me aside, no more than collateral

Time and time again,

All you give is pain

Yet despite your wicked words, your temper and dishonesty

“Forever I will love you,” that is what you promised me

So somewhere deep inside, a kernel flaming bright

Of ignorance and hope, of glowing golden light

For don’t you know it’s true?

My heart belongs to you

No matter the hurt

You put me through

They say bees sting when threatened,

But for me the bar is lessened

Just being in your life,

Hangs a sharpened knife

Poised to plunge into my head,

Rendering me dead

The danger once excited me,

At least to some degree

But now it has all but snuffed,

out the flame of love

That you accuse me I have bluffed,

My way into thereof

But now your blind abuse

Leads me to a hanging noose

Time and time again you stung,

Until I from mine neck hung

Weary of your wickedness, your hateful words and actions

I hope my resignation, gives you satisfaction

It was you who did this, with all your charming ways

You and your double faces, who led me to my final days

So as they say and as it goes,

Bees only offer honey to those

Who in return provide a thanks so deep

Their sorrows it will always reap

For their poor, poor lonely eyes,

See them that which would defy

All knowings of such beauty

The sweetest divine duty

To love through sickness and in health,

Which brings another kind of wealth

Alas for you, it was not I,

Who could show you such a blue, blue sky

In that way, you are much like a bee,

That loves only what it can see

And as for me,

That’s all I’ll be,

A pretty face, lost in the crowd,

Sent to join those in the clouds

The fault of which is not mine,

But yours till end of time.
