Its thick leather wraps like the layer of skin Broken into by God Our souls resting beneath its core Its veins run course from the streaks of light it sheds A delicate orb of moisture providing the very same life you once had Now snapped at the vine of Earth Banished forth to the afterlife of our bodies And now torn by the thick paws of the beast Claws rushing down your spherical canvas from the moment HE swallowed your breath To the day He ripped all else from the tree What gives you the urge to trickle the bright red from your blanket Once patterned with gold but now soiled in the aftermath of a war I used to breathe love but my lungs breathed hate The same way a fire gives warmth but will shed to **** life The corpse of your tongue stays moist and warmer than all The sole pallette living with the flavor of fruit Craving life like the way you crave it's sweetness But once the taste dies down So does your will to continue on Thus the consumption of the fruit is the desecration of a breathe Your last memory of your last sense The touch of a golden sun And the grime of a sweetened moon
