Eden is a place on Earth
Where we once danced
Laughed, loved, cried
Lied and grew tired of the muse
Our smiles were created to be
Fruit was rarely scarce from these trees
They were shadows, heavy curtains
Gnarled and dreary, if not a backdrop
To roses and stargazer lilies that
brilliantly contrasted the damp, stone walls
A garden we shared as we grew
Budded and bloomed, hand in hand
Though beautiful and bright
The flowers wither and fade
Weathered vines conquer the cold wall’s cracks
Trees, sit bare, nude
A reflection of us
Once-bitten fruit rots beneath our feet
Eden is our home on Earth
Where we now toil
Stained, scarred, sinners
We lie in the fire of a ruse
Our love is destined to be
I meant it not this way but the tears just flow and my makeup smearing all the more, leaving behind that familiar filthy residue. I may have begun to drive myself away, dragging you down as well. But it's done, I've flipped the switch and now it's dark once more. How painful is the music to my ears, I can't stand to be alone in it, yet here I am again. I pray you fly back and safely and warmly to me, though I fear I've dug the grave too deeply. As the dirt shifts within my soul, I choke on those loving words I'd meant for you. All the fragments of light I see becoming smaller and I wish to be near you in your embrace that might make me feel the warmth I'm missing. And in reality, I doubt I'd breathe another breath without you. So come hither and quickly soothe my dying heart, you are the only cure I know. I cry and cry again, come hither to heal and love me. Come hither and help me dry my tears.
