Toxic fruit
Be careful what fruit of love you chose
For even, the most innocent looking one can be deceiving
Take the apple for example
A beautiful crimson red apple has just fallen off a tree
Thud! It makes as it lands
Smelling sickly sweet
And having that crunch most of us look for in an apple
But the outside doesn’t always match the inside
Yes it's sweet or least at first
The aftertaste makes it almost impossible to want to finish the apple
A rancid taste that follows the once sweet taste is overpowering
And even though its taste is repulsive there are some
Who refuse to throw it out
They refuse to realize its taste
And continue to eat it
They do not realize that they are poising themselves
Now not all fruits of love are the same this is just one of many examples
There are many different kinds some may even be dangerous
Just be careful and notice the signs
