You bestowed upon me a garden of succulent berries,

frothy pink blossoms

that spilled forth from the trees

like white sea foam de la mer.

Remember those crimson

crispy apples?

Forgive me, for

I took a bite.

So nectar cold

and and bursting with

bitter poison.

All I will say is that this piece is about a girl who viewed someone important in her life as more than he/she was. This person could have been good, or bad. Maybe there really was a garden. I will leave the interpretation up to you.
