She brought me an apple and held out her hand 
the tree she had plucked from would lay out the plan 
Partake of this perfect communion with me
those were the words she had whispered, her plea
And should you accept it, the offer she gives
you'll see a world in which everyone lives
Not like the one where our bodies may dwell
that is laden with burdens and personal hells 
In contrast reality'll seep through your bones
exposing the parts of you no one else knows 
And this be the knowledge you'll gain from a bite
that the morsel ingested will turn into light 
It is harbored within until time becomes ripe
and swallows internally all of your strife 
For everything done was completed in truth
to finish the work that was started in you

if time has taught me anything, I can't remember now 
the ticking clock has hypnotized my every thought somehow
and here I am in lulls of sleep, beckoned by my heart 
i need to feel its beat to know that I won't fall apart
see, you can talk and weary me but I will not reply 
for all the reasons I could give are hidden in my eyes
so if you wait and closely watch you'll find that what you seek
are perfect words that only rise when neither of us speaks
the silence looms and calms the pulse running through our veins 
just enough that you can hear my footsteps in your brain 
for I have traveled far and wide across its weathered ground
all the while making sure I gilded and unbound

just you and me and this unmade bed

the perfect place for our tangled legs 

a home for hearts that once were dead

but now have found a way to spread 

the newly flowing shades of red

upon the eyes of sleeping heads

it's time, the vows are being read

for readied minds are soon to wed

and truth be told, you are my bread

i live off every word you've said
