“Bitter Honey”

You were the one who circled low…

The one who saw beneath the skin…

You were the stubborn eagle, high in skies I couldn’t name.

You circled ‘round my silence, Every time, you played no game.

You fed on what I buried—

Fed on what I bled to keep—

You tasted love like bitter honey Dripping from my grief…

Oh, you drank me slow, like a wine that turned to stone.

You didn’t ask for shelter, you just made my ache your home.

Took the sweet from my sorrow, left me hollow and gone—

And I still feel the sting where your hunger fed on.

Unguilty eyes, no shame to wear,

You ripped the thread I wore as prayer.

My liver raw, my trembling gift—

But you never said a thing.

Just leaned back in that silence, let me tremble, let me sing.

I laid it all down…

The wound, the salt, the wanting.

And you just stared and took your share…

Oh, you drank me slow, like wine gone wrong.

You never asked permission, but you knew you belonged.

Took the sugar from my sorrow, Left me hollow at dawn—

And I still feel the sting where your hunger fed on.

The eagle flies… And I remain…

With honey-blood

And bitter rain.

You were the stubborn eagle

That fed, unguilty,

On the bitter honey

Of my liver…
