Queen BeeEven in my dreams, dear, I am sick of your ghost.Queen Bee
You haunt me when my eyes close, amidst the candy cane trees my mind makes up; You stroll along the sea grass laughing, like a hyena. You grab my hand
And I have to remind myself: this is only a dream, a dream! I scream, I scream. Your laughter is thick as honey now. I can hear the bees.
