Inspired by a dream where I was swarmed and stung to death by bees..

_______________________________

The bees sting at night

When the moon trades the sky with the sun

Wretched pain leaves tears

Falling down her face

Anticipation drops rocks

In the stomach of the one

With the eyes that lost their light

___________________________________

The bees sting relentlessly

As if their life will wither

If not

The hopelessness is like

A flower that stopped blooming

When it was one leaf away

From being the grandest in the bush

____________________________________

The bees sting purposefully

With knowingness in every jab

A reason for every place

Like the way the raindrops fell

On the garden that needed them the most

____________________________________

The bees sting

Until the air is gone

_____

They leave you

To Rot
