Forbidden Fruit


An apple never falls far from a tree

As time passes by it has fallen

This is not what he meant when he wished to be free

He yells back into the dark but no one has callen

 

To many times he has tasted the forbidden fruit

Although sour, he enjoyed the nectar

He walks along the same path, but forgot the root

He was told he never stood tall and never had a stature 

 

Days go by and they have been nothing but gloom

Tear drops hit the soil beneath

But still nothing seams to bloom

He wonder if it is to for him to leave

 

He looks big and strong by appearance

His limbs are often shaken by the wind

He is caught in it and is got like an act of disapeareance
