As the words ‘just be friends’ leaves my lips into a hiss, he looks to me like I have fangs and I’ve just infected him. He confuses my tears for contradiction, but I was just overwhelmed by a happy ending that came too soon. But you can’t bite into a lemon and expect lemonade. The sweet taste of the sugar I remember no longer lingers. The bee had harvested the honey and didn’t leave any for me. The bee didn’t ask for it. And I didn’t, the sting. But destiny permits the bee to fall if he puts up his guard too eagerly. He feels threatened when others seek out the flower of his favor. But the pollen turns to venom, and the honey turns to tar. A midnight snack was his favorite flavor. A sacrifice for a love sought long ago. For a friend that turned to foe.

Semi-sweet love
Deep in decadence
It’s what I dream of
Innocence that melts in your mouth
A confection of affection
I can’t live without
Indulge the mystic velvet
Candy-coated sweat
Delicious desire
Dampened fire
Sugar lingers on your lips
Hips bridging for a fix
