saved by your kiss

the house of hell awaits my embrace
for I have eaten from the forbidden tree
Picked it’s sweetest apple,
swallowed its seeds and carried it for months
with no remorse or a need repent

in retrospect on how we met
the tears, the smiles,
the words, we used to express
the love we shared with no regrets
then my soul escapes my body
for I have sinned

when music stops to play
and the birds forget how to sing
when the sun forgets to smile
and the stars refuse to shine
you kiss my lips
and the Father forgives
