Death and Love: Or Deadly Love: Or Loved Dead

and destruction destroyed, now pale is paled.

This is death and love.

Teeth stained black:

A golden apple plucked from her Tree,

the supposed source of immortality,

bitten from then spewed,

it's flesh a dangerous hue.

A stain too deep to clean away,

it creeps from tooth to mortal clay.

A blackened figure from her hands was made

O body, o soul, a negative fade.

We loved, I stole her Fruit.

Paralyzed now like a grounded root

I smile hoping for help unseen

but the only thing unseen is me.
