Bitterness

Why tastes this honey
sweet in my little mind,
yet it becomes bitter
in my hungry tummy?

Heart open and breaking;
My dizzy thoughts drowning
in a pool of lonelyness.
Soul closed and quietly sobbing.

Destroying gentle flowers bad;
Was there ever a garden?
A blossoming in the midst of escape?
The sky, it looks so sad.

What is happening?
What could? What should?
Leaves in my hand only;
It hasn't stopped raining.

Can't smell a thing;
Dryness of a desert
capturing my broken heart.
Of this castle who's king?

Honey tastes bitter on my tongue;
This endless search for a
dead flower in hopes of joy;
The truth truly stung.
