Adams Apple

Red ripe is my fruit Plump and bursting with resentment Oozing remorse and regret My pain Ready for you to harvest I have waited patiently For your uncontrollable urge To feast upon my agony And devour my shame Your greedy appetite For my suffering is insatiable Feed your glutinous desires As you sink your teeth deep Into my cold flesh Taste my bittersweet discontent As you ingest my poisoned hatred And choke upon the shards Of my broken heart and shattered dreams Now that you have consumed The essence of my pain I’m nothing but a hollow core Return my ravaged remains Back into the soil of Eden's garden So that I may be absorbed Back into the earth And the seed of mans sins Can now take root
