Forbidden Fruit

as i lay here

completely bare

in body and soul

time starts to pass,

about an hour or so.

never once did i stop and think

about the days turning into weeks

or the emptiness inside my head.

the clouds brought me to life.

watched me like a quiet angel.

till evil crept in,

sweeter than she could have ever been.

and maybe i bit the apple

heavenly as nectar

showing me foreign tastes i never even knew i desired.

but when i looked in the mirror

& saw the blood dripping out my mouth

i swore i'd never take a bite again,

unless it touches your skin.
