Eden
Eden
Say half-spoken truths,
Utter well-meaning lies
Why does it matter?
You will believe it
That I’m not Eden
Bid reluctant farewells
Whisper unwilling goodbyes
What’s the difference?
You’d take me in a heartbeat
Even if I’m not Eden
But Adam, it's no disguise
Not a big surprise
I’m not your paradise
I’m no heathen,
But with me,
it's more Gethsemane
You’ll never be in Eden
Remembering to forget
Forgetting to Remember
Is it in that order?
But you're still not in Eden
A love so tender
That started from May 'till December
Trapped from now until forever
Would I really surrender?
Even if I’m not Eden
Feelings of despise
Despising a feeling,
Is it just the beginning?
How can time mend,
Will it ever end?
Your delusion,
that I will never be your Eden.
