Thoughtless Surrender

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

Thunderous feelings like Noah’s days

Raging so hard and threatening to end the life that houses it

Temptation that exceeds the serpent days

Don’t touch, don’t eat

Just don't remind me of the pain of the one that bit the apple

Whatever sacrifice there is, let me know

I will do better than Cain

He said "don’t rush", let’s keep it on the low

Tell me everything; just don’t tell me about the pain

I don’t want to know about the pain of the one that ate the apple

Let's live life, we are lucky we are in this moment together

And even when this moment is gone,

In our hearts is the tomb with the headstone

That reads "the moment that lived forever"

I just don't want to think about the pain of the one that shared the apple.

NOTE: This poem was originally written by me a few years ago when I found myself in an awkward position withsomeone I really liked but couldn't date.
