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.

A tussle between the heavenly aspirations and the human limitations. Clever use of language. :)

Adam is persistent in his pursuit, longing desires for love are powerful.
