Honey Bee VS hornet

Hands balled into fists as I lay balled up on the floor

I'd ask you to understand the pain in my veins

But you are more like a a hornet, and I but a honey bee

You see things in black and white and I see a rainbow

 

I'd ask you to be patient but you are late again

In a race through life as I sit frozen in apathy

Once we were two peas in a pod made of paper

Now tattered and weathered by the storms

 

One big storm rolled through and tore down our town

Now drifting in a pool of contaminated honey

Together at first, but quickly falling apart

Held together by gum and paperclips

 

Until they can no longer hold, and we spill away 

Tumbling further from each other until we're strangers

Ships passing in the night, with no light to guide us

For you could never empathize with the pain I carried
