Like Bee Stings


Fireflies flutter deeply within while knowing he will flee again pierces my chest Desire swells in these lips which ache to sip of him Each tasty endeavor leaves me aflame and squirming for the next laceration His kisses are like bee stings because I'm left wounded wishing he could stay But he must always go to return his heart to the demon he wed long ago while passion gnaws at me like an insect on nectarous fruit
