Haunted Honey

They caught you in a sunny glade

Trapped you in a jar

Your scouts betrayed your whereabouts

But that's not where you are

I wonder as they blinded you

And led you to your grief

Did you sweetly plead your innocence

Like a flower begs belief?

Haunted honey

Drippin down

I wanna hear the humming that you

Heard as you were drownin

Pour your haunted

Honey over me

I want to know the mysteries

Of the mortuary bee

Jelly of your ectoplasm

Melting on my tongue

Climbing to your mausoleum

Rung by waxen rung

Situated regally

Upon your birthing throne

You order us to fly while you

Yourself have never flown

Haunted Honey

You're my queen

Your kisses have the taste of all the

Flowers you've never seen

Haunted Honey

At last I'm found

You're the shadow at the heart of light

Your unborn wear your crown

Brush away the bodies of

Your workers and your drones

We'll never know the purpose of

The treasure in the comb

Your emissaries all were murdered

No one read your plea

The only sentence that survives

Is by and for the bee

Haunted Honey

In your name I cry

Your sugared oath upon my lips

I dream

I sting

I die
