Eve

You look right past
and meet her glance
I sink behind
and miss my chance

You refuse the pain
behind my eyes
You hide your heart
I tell them lies

Falling between your stare and the floor
Wishing I was steady and sure
Intoxicated by the evil
I know is wrong
Disbelieving the wait
will make me strong

You collect between my lips
I swallow you whole
You take tiny sips
Your strictly forbidden
But I am Eve
Craving the danger
hidden up your sleeve

Falling between innocence and impure
Needing a savior
but wanting you more
Magnetic to injury
Painful and long
Disbelieving your heart
is where it belongs

I sweep your dirt
Under the rug
Dying from the strain
Even though your love means death
I'd do it all again
