why do i fear?

i know i should trust your words of honey

but my soul has learned to fear them

for i was told

'nothing gold can stay'

the words of honey in my past have blackened to tar

their meanings lost when the lips from which they came left me

so my soul has learned to fear trusting

because if you trust too much

the inevitable end

shatters like glass
