ILLICIT CRAVING

As a young one
I heard and read a story
The story of the forbidden fruit
As a teen
My mamma warned me
To stay clear of the forbidden fruit
As a young adult
I got too curious
I tasted of the sweet forbidden fruit
Once
Twice
Thrice
Then I lost count
The tangy bitter sweet taste it exudes
Had me going back for more and s’more
It had me moaning the Mea Culpa
Each time I took a bite, a large chunk I always made sure
And now, it has created a tumor in my innards
And soon, I am going to be butchered
My offal shared abroad
With remnants of the forbidden fruit entangled in them.
