Bees

I inhale betrayal just to sedate them.

They look for order, but I am a mayhem.

My head hurts and my bones go brittle.

I chase high emotions, but I feel so little.

There is no reason to die for desire.

Destiny kills even the greatest fires.

I exhale honesty like a swarm of bees,

And they sting everyone my eyes can see.
