Love Poem: Eden

Eden

Eden

Say half-spoken truths,
Utter well-meaning lies 
Why does it matter?  
You will believe it
That I’m not Eden

Bid reluctant farewells
Whisper unwilling goodbyes 
What’s the difference? 
You’d take me in a heartbeat
Even if I’m not Eden

But Adam, it's no disguise
Not  a big surprise
I’m not your paradise
I’m no heathen,
But with me, 
it's more Gethsemane
You’ll never be in Eden

Remembering to forget
Forgetting to Remember
Is it in that order?
But you're still not in Eden

A love so tender
That started from May 'till December
Trapped from now until forever
Would I really surrender?
Even if I’m not Eden

Feelings of despise
Despising a feeling, 
Is it just the beginning?
How can time mend,
Will it ever end?
Your delusion,
that I will never be your Eden.
