Eve

I saw you for what you were

I bit the apple

there is bitter residue stuck between my teeth

and I am cursed with your aftertaste

laced with the lines of Broward’s best cocaine

No one told me chocolate would revert to bitter once you let it sit in your sun

I fiend for our forever

Someone asked if I would grant you the rest of my being and honestly speaking

I never knew I loved you until then

Not like this, without a doubt

I told the biggest lie

Spoke no into the universe

As if the galaxies don't already know

sometimes I feel like you make me whole

but now there is such anger in your tone of voice

I have grown worthless without reason

without understanding

All I recall is bringing love to my bosom

Analyzing it's flaws with caution

And proceeding with the judgement of young unconditional lover

Surrendering my most precious possession

Not in hopes of capturing you

But out of sheer curiosity

and inevitably tarnished my favorite part

Because you couldn't pretend, handle, deal

With the meer fact that that's all it was

They say Eve ate the apple and begin to see the bad in the world

giving the illusion that it was never there

but she was simply seeing the world for what it was…

She bit the grape, ate the fruit of real

That might be my favorite sin

[next to you]

but today I found myself humbly mumbling

“Why couldn’t I smell this rose for what it was before?”

why did I assume it was worth more?

Just a flower, it dies
