Love Poem: Drought

Drought

I've been without your pollination 
for quite some time now 
I'm just an untouched flower 
begging to be doused upon

I fear you
because you've made me weak
I crave your magic 
Yet I hate when you speak 

You talk about leaving again
spreading your wings and flying
there are some many new flowers
spouting you say 
why miss out on it

but didn't me and you just lie down together?
How can you just hop to the next 
I thought I was your best
I guess I'm just like the rest

It's sad really
because I too see the other bees
flaunting their wings at me
waiting to pollinate my seeds
but I only want you
