APPLE
YOU are an apple on a tree,
turning COLD and ROUGH as the days go on
Yet I found a sweetness that nobody else COULD taste BUT ME
A tree that kept growing
A VARIETY of apples as well
I never wanted to leave its side
It grew pinks and harsh REDS
Knowing that it was poisonous I still stayed,
I spoke to nature,
"I would like to be useful to YOU in some way"
Your reply was painful to my CORE,
Although many PREFER GALA for its sweetness and reliability
You chose a RED that was REDDER than HELL
Yet I found a calm in your voice
WHICH MADE ME A FOOL
I took a bite of the poison
knowing that it will flow with the blood in my body just to kill me
But I CANNOT DENY anymore what YOU make me feel
You are my question that will never be answered.
Are you AN APPLE or are you A TREE?
Will you GROW or just KILL me?
