Garden Of Eden
by Shawn Mette
Memories of you have stained me foreverTo let you go would kill meTo make you stay is certain deathTotal confusion of the body, soul, and mind.Your eyes hold contemptAs you speak words of love so sweetlyTrying to tempt me to take some fruitThe garden has died at my feetYet you lead me to our treeWhere it all beganThe stars cannot foresee what the future holdsI wonder what your motive is as you kiss meThe smell of flowers fill my sensesAs you take all of me inThe garden appears to bloom againFull of lifeYou turn from me, breaking our kissI try to catch you, but you run from me laughingI look around to see nothing but myselfAlone in the nightStanding in the moonlightSurrounded by the death of my sanity
