Like Honey

LIKE HONEY

 Like honey her words sound

Sweet and natural, like a new addiction has been found

What she says does not have to be profound

But from my face she takes away the frown

Word so sweet, so beautiful and full of class

But just like honey, still sticky and messy alas 

You chose to stay for their sweet embrace 

Surprised when they turn out bittersweet in disgrace

You’d like to remember the good times

When harm her word did not cause

It’s not a clear memory though

As you got used to the treatment being now rough

She’s graceful, catchy to the eye

But now with nowhere to go, you just want to cry

Like the thorns on a rose, she makes you want to die

It hurts, but to remember the good times you try

Like honey, just so addictive

But at the same time so restrictive

Your tastebuds are now craving more honey

But as it was once so funny

Now it makes your tongue bloody
