Eve

From Adam's ribs, she's given life 
Then sooner she became his wife 
She gave him joy and happiness 
She filled his deepest emptiness 

She was his faithful companion 
Together they shared dominion 
He was the king, she was the queen 
She was gorgeous, she's evergreen 

But one day, the tricky devil
Enticed her heart to do evil 
Her one mistake roused the reason 
That they were charged of high treason

2nd place
