An Apology from Adam to Eve (Louis Toliver Jr-Swartz, LA)


Dearest Eve,

I really hope you can forgive me for putting you in your place.
            Wouldn’t you have done the same thing had you been in my place?

We had Eden
            …and we lost it
                        The world was in
                                    …my delicate hands
                                                Earthly perfection
                                                            …but I lost  us, you
                                                                        I am the snake
                                                                                    …I am THE FALL!
FORGIVE ME EVE!

I blamed you and now a woman is nothing but the woe of a cowardly man
            Take my hand and please love me today, and forgive me for yesterday, baby.

Will you take me in your arms again and make me your equal, Eve?
-Love Adam
