Honey
 Nov 2015 Nico Allentine

The last time we kissed
I broke out in hives
from the honey on her breath
and the sting of her lies.
I swear, I'd die a thousand deaths
if she were the queen of my hive.
Broken pieces slowly dance across the lake
hidden inside the melodies of a maiden mourning for
the loss of her roses.
Shrouded by a cloak of grief
inertly sunken inside the lake's reflection,
she heard her tears fall
from eyes glistening within the constellations
of the sky.
Why bother to watch the stars
collapse into the dying hues of the sun
when it is simply poisoned
by the blue light
of a mermaid's tears.
I don't understand what I even write half the time.

Look into my eyes and you will see no sorrow
I’ve stuffed it in my shoe until tomorrow
Listen to my voice and you will hear no sadness
I’ve bagged it up and replaced it with gladness
Wipe my cheek and you will find no tears
I’ve bottled them up along with my fears
Push all my buttons and you will get no anger
I’ve slipped it in the pocket of a passing stranger
Pierce my heart but I feel no pain
I’ve left it outside to play in the rain
Bite my tongue but I taste no blood
When I bleed, I bleed mud
I used to want to be like you
Grow up just alike.
I would dream of being part of a two
In my bed at night.
And sometime, when you weren’t home,  
I would sneak into your room
And put on all you clothes
Even though your shirts to me
Were more like robes…
In my mind, we were unstoppable
And unlike all else
Because I always felt that I could come to you
Whenever I failed.
I loved you
I needed you
Hell, I still sorta do
But as I time passed by
And I grew.
I started to realize things that I never knew.
I used to want to be like you…
That was before I knew
What you do,
Holed up tight
In your room.
