On Having a Splintered Mind and Maintaining a Fractured Heart

Drench your hands with honey
and look up at the sky because I'm thinking of smiling

not too much, not too much

I can hear the crickets and see the fireflies
I can feel her embrace

I can smell her perfume and taste her lips

It's all okay though, I'm finally done too

The setting sun rests its head on the mountains and I can see it drifting to sleep
His mother watching from afar
Whispering her pride

And the bees just keep on stinging, dying one by one
