even in the sting
#WritcoPoemPrompt70
You took my pulse without ever touching me,
Like honey and flowers, you were my bumble-bee,
buzzing about how sweet
I am-how did I get so lucky to have you, you said.
To you, I was the queen bee -
I wanted to encourage & lift
you up when you said you never realized how much
you needed the encouragement.
& now I am left
with the nectar
memories.
