you were forbidden to eat,
yet one look at your crisp red skin sent me into ecstasy
instead of sinking my teeth into your imagined taste like i was tempted to,
i instead took the role of protecting my dear ones from your poison
this task made me keen and aware to your attempts,
of emulating a sweet apple for them and i to eat
despite the graceful attempts to resist tasting you,
i did take a careful bite
only to find out,
you weren't the poison everyone had warned me about

i wrote this about a boy i love, who i did avoid at first because he seemed a little mean. however when i knew him, he was not what people said he was.
