Eve's Fall by Freya B. (Year 11)

Eve's Fall by Freya B. (Year 11)

Eve bit the apple, I kissed your lips,
We both fell for a snake,
Charmed out a basket,
Under the sun - endless apocalypse
Falling with a picnic, floating in the sky
Straight down from heaven, no time for a goodbye,
Except this picnic has cake that’s gone dry
Mouldy sandwiches, gone-off cream,
Broken hearts with a splash of sunscreen,
Summer rots us and winter makes brittle,
you apologised late (and it’s far too little),
God forgives and God forgets, but original sin
Has laid us to rest, judgement is here,
We run from the truth; our relationship is damned –
But I still love you.
