You were the most beautiful creature that God cast from heaven, and you presented yourself to the world with a cigarette between your teeth.
You tried and tried to tempt the temptress, but she beat you out.
You used your serpent tongue and spoke lies as beautiful as the watercolors that crowded my mind, and I believed you.
I leapt at the chance to come closer towards the end of my existence.

I ate your forbidden fruit.
I perished.
I lost it all.

But the Garden of Eden will never compare to the words you whispered upon my skin.

*You sweet Lucifer, you.
