It all began with a kiss, it was only a kiss.
But one kiss, one touch, was all it took.
I was Eve and you were the apple,
the snake was temptation,
A hissing, slithering serpent of deceit.
God banished us from the Garden of Eden,
the knowledge of what we had done weighing heavily on our minds,
Temptation slithered after us,
constantly creeping up,
constantly wreaking havoc.
Irresistible cravings for knowledge,
and the intense pleasure you left behind.
Heated glances across the desert,
Silent kisses in the dark.
A concealed touch,
A whispered word,
"Mine."
I couldn't resist your dark allure,
the obvious magnetic pull between us.
I longed for the scattered moments when my cravings could be satisfied.
You kept me coming back for more.
More of your intoxicating kisses,
More of your warmth.
You were delectable,
delicious even.
Without realizing it, Adam was pushed to the side.
Unaware that I was fooling around with the forbidden fruit.
Until the day I finally looked past the forbidden aspect about you,
and saw the fruit.
Then Adam began to notice.
It became harder to conceal the previously hidden attraction.
An attraction I felt growing.
Or I thought I felt growing.
You were forbidden after all.
Twined with temptation,
With all things appealing.
Adam was all that I should have wanted,
Everything I should have needed.
But I wanted more.
I had looked past the skin to the fruit within,
And I liked what I saw.
I no longer saw the fruit as forbidden,
But as MINE.
Just as you had once whispered the word to me.
I began to whisper it to you.
Adam remained faithful, right by my side.
You, being the forbidden fruit, wanted to remain forbidden.
But you also wanted to have something that was inaccessible.
And I, Eve, was no longer forbidden.
You left, on to the next unobtainable person.
I watched as you did, and held onto Adam.
Never looking at him,
But always at you.
Forever my forbidden fruit.
