Poem
You pulled apples from the tree. A tree that was not yours or mine. “They aren’t ours to take. Let’s go,” I plead. But you just threw a smile at me that was so divine. I couldn’t say no when you look at me with that shine in your eyes. So, I grabbed your hand as we slowly walked away- Bug eaten apples weighing down our lies. My heart was in dismay because my body couldn’t help but obey. We ended up at a fence surrounding a horse pasture. You held out an apple, beckoning the horses closer. I knew this would only end in disaster, But the thrill filling my veins didn’t want this to be over. When you asked if you should climb the fence- I smiled and said, “You’re already breaking rules, why not?” I watched as you feed stolen apples to a horse that wasn’t yours, in suspense. When you waved me over, I shrugged, acting like I wasn’t afraid of getting caught. I placed my hands on the top of the fence- And pulled myself up, Wondering how my morals got so complex. Because once I got to the top, I did not hesitate to jump. You placed an apple in my hand. And instructed me to bend down. My heart beat against my chest, unable to withstand the demand. All I wanted was to turn back around. But as I tried to stand back up, you placed a hand on my shoulder, Pressing my knees into the ground. You always had to be the controller. I really don’t understand why you were crowned. I looked up at you, Your smile plastered to your lips. I couldn’t tell if you liked the view. Or if you were just playing by the script. Either way, I was afraid. Because I didn’t want to be a thief. I knew then that I shouldn’t have stayed. My hands shook in disbelief. Because in that moment, I realized it was too late to leave. And that you had me right where you wanted me. I believed the lies you weaved. In shame, my tears fell to the ground, deciding it was time to flee.
