An Apple Unsweet

I fell in love with a beautiful image,

Made of broken glass,

And hiding a devil inside.

I fell willingly into the darkness

Because he made it look light-

He was the light, rather the flame

That's swarming with swooning moths

Mesmerized by this heat

That makes us feel the most alive

Even when we are seconds from death

And somehow that drew me.

Loving you was stepping into a book

Where we- or you- made the rules.

It was a black hole in plain sight-

That swept me from the real world-

Where you were the serpent,

Your touch a red apple, bitter and sweet,

And I your Eve.

But you played a pretty savior,

To fool someone like me.

But now I'm breathing again,

Though it still comes in gasps.

And I sometimes wonder

If I didn't Leave my heart

Under the apple tree, 

With you in the grass.

Author's Note

Still grateful to God for getting me out of this-- He has the glory.
Wrote this on a whim as I saw his ex-girlfriend, and I'm tired/bored with nothing else on my mind but writing a poem.
Have a lovely day (or perhaps night)
