an open wound

Adam had an argument with Eve one day

so she ran away for a little while

God noticed his son without a smile

WHAT BOTHERS YOU MY LITTLE CHILD

OR WOULD YOU HAVE YOUR FATHER GUESS

excuse me Lord but i must confess

this emptiness inside my chest

that fills me since

my lover left

can you explain

what i can’t express

WELL

YES

IT APPEARS THAT SHE’S A PART OF YOU

DON’T YOU KNOW

YOU HAVE THAT SCAR AS PROOF

I LEFT IT THERE TO BE HARD ON YOU

Adam glanced down at the mark

confused

and pondered what he’d said

how could you leave me so exposed

what were you thinking in your head

I WAS MERELY REACHING

FOR YOUR HEART

BUT GRABBED A RIB

INSTEAD
