Forget Me Not - Said the Bee

courtesy of Pixabay

I fell for your honey coated words
the temptation too great to resist
sweet and delicious I craved more
drinking in the nectar of your songs

organic in nature, nothing artificial
caught in the stickiness of our world
discovering life isn't always sunny
now, I feel the sting of lost dreams

    Hmm....honeyed words are hared to resist. Like this one.

    Forget me not! I hope the memory can fade so the sting too fades. Oh those honeyed words--sigh.

    Honey and sting are sadly inseparable sometimes. Sigh.

    Ouch.
    I think that many of us have drowned in those honeyed words. I know I have.
    Beautifully written - and thank you.

    This is so familiar and well expressed in the lines:
    ‘caught in the stickiness of our world
    discovering life isn't always sunny
    now, I feel the sting of lost dreams.'

    Sure have to watch that sting, as it can come at any time.

    Hi Truedessa - just lovely ... we tick along enjoying the sweetness of life, but somewhere there's a sting to bring us back to earth. Loved it - cheers Hilary

    discovering life isn't always sunny
    now, I feel the sting of lost dreams

    Most times it is a painful realization after the fact!

    This is very sad. Sometimes those honey-coated words do not hold true in the long run.

    The sting of lost dreams......brings pain. Yet we would not have wanted to miss the sweet times we once knew. I love the title!

    ...life's lessons - we all experience and hopefully learn along the way.
