I always knew how things would end.
I warned myself
Time and time again.
Strapped explosives to my chest,
And walked right into your Garden of Eden.
The trees were tall, the flowers too bright,
A forbidden fruit, I knew I shouldn’t bite.
Dear Adam, I hope you knew,
I had to sacrifice my beliefs
To get through to you.
When God found out,
he carved an A on my back.
So please tell Eve,
She’s everything I lack.
Dear Adam, I often wonder
What it must have been like for you,
Choosing between saving the world with Eve
Or going to war in June.
I’m aware there was no place for three,
But I was only a fool.
I had dreams for us that certainly
Wouldn’t come true.
So forgive me Adam,
For pulling the trigger.
I’d rather mourn this loss
Than find another purpose.
I will bear witness to the
Ruins of nineteen,
Nothing remains of our time here,
The slate’s been wiped clean.
