The Line of Adam

Allow me to be covered underneath your light

Bring your love, I have a blanket for all it entails

Come quickly to this side of my rib and make

A commitment to stay there

The first encounter with a heart of

Adam mislead this girl, he distorted her

Pure and bright picture of what

She dreamed a relationship between a man

And a woman would be in HER, story

A taste of confinement, innocence being pulled from

Her grasp, and her picture continually being

Stretched as far away from what she knew wasn't healthy,

There he stands- next to her- in her life- as if none of these

Feelings and realities were never poured out and became alive

Glancing in the box that is designed to reflect her image, only

The outline appears, as truth stares her in the face

Looking closer at this woman, she realizes

The truth of the matter; her respect has been

Selfishly stolen away from her

As the second image of Adam steps into

Her path, she precedes with caution, but not

Enough to prevent what she is about to bare

Again, her picture has been negatively

Disrupted by the figure of a man

Softly and gently, she gives him her

Heart- without a guard to protect it

In return, he places it back into her care without hesitation

Touching it with the tips of her fingers, she attempts to

Place it where it belongs- but there is no need- it has been broken

A negative stench has been cemented upon MY heart

And has grown to be this woman's example of

The image and heartbeat of the line of Adam

So- as we walk- walk next to me as my rib

With no intentions of moving ahead of me or behind me (just stay beside me)
