My Garden
You were my very own Eden,
 I thought you were sent by God to accompany me through this short journey of life.
 You were paradise- you came with every necessity I would ever require.
 But then it came the forbidden fruit that showed itself- 
 Deeper inside the forest of you.
 I thought I wouldn't be tempted,
 By the utopian part of  you - the only side I cared to see.
 But then came your tempting fruit,
 That I refused to touch,
 But you gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. 
 A nibble here and there turned to everywhere
 I got sick- 
 Of you, 
 Of this evil side of you that only made me feel worse once I had gotten my share.
 I tried to spit you up but the damage was done.
 Your secret was revealed to me and I shouldn't have known
 I knew too much and couldn't stay
 Your fruit gave me new knowledge,
 But I lost my old.
 Your fruit gave me bravery,
 But I lost my discretion.
 Your fruit gave me a glimpse of my future,
 But I lost my past'
 My past,
 Your past,
 Our past.
 In you- my very own Eden.
 
Just one more thing:
Enjoy!
