Analysis of Falling
Sin started this
Sin created discomfort
Eden, the place
stubborn they say, unwilling to listen
She didn't know how much it would cost
All actions have a reaction
This one to her shock, consequences
A sight so beautiful, now a distant memory
Eve was her name
The bloodshed followed
A burden she must carry for days,
Month after month
Suffering.
Was it all in vain?
Pain and emotion
Overwhelmed in the midst of existence
An unclaimed life,
Unmet with a ship
Men at sea
The waves of love didn't carry
Release your wrath upon her
Slivering in sin,
the serpents, her enemy
They have both fallen, one to the floor
One, from his grace.
Day in and out, she must accept this new reality,
A shared pain, all women the same,
A life ended before it could start
This is goodbye
You can hear her cry.
For some, tears of joy.
Others, grief
The end
It's all so final, like a period.
