A withered Genesis
<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Our eyes met, and a new world began.</p><p>Let there be love—</p><p>and there was.</p><p>It bloomed in silence,</p><p>gentle and pure,</p><p>a universe born between your gaze and mine.</p><p><br/></p><p>The first day brought light.</p><p>Trust rose like morning,</p><p>soft and unthreatened,</p><p>a promise written across the sky.</p><p><br/></p><p>The second carried laughter.</p><p>We wove a bond out of whispers,</p><p>our joy stitched into the fabric of time,</p><p>each smile a foundation,</p><p>each breath a vow.</p><p><br/></p><p>By the third, hearts opened wide.</p><p>I let you walk the gardens of my soul,</p><p>where my fears lay hidden like shadows,</p><p>and you called me whole.</p><p><br/></p><p>But the fourth grew heavy.</p><p>Your words, once golden,</p><p>rang with echoes I could not trace,</p><p>and doubt tiptoed quietly into the garden.</p><p><br/></p><p>The fifth brought silence.</p><p>The light in your eyes dimmed,</p><p>and distance stretched long,</p><p>like a serpent coiling in the grass.</p><p><br/></p><p>The sixth revealed the fruit.</p><p>You bit the apple,</p><p>and from your lips I tasted</p><p>a sweetness laced with venom,</p><p>a love poisoned in disguise.</p><p><br/></p><p>On the seventh, peace collapsed.</p><p>The garden trembled,</p><p>and I—</p><p>I was left to gather the ruins of what we had built.</p><p><br/></p><p>You were the Adam to my Eve,</p><p>but this time you deceived me.</p><p>You said I was your missing rib,</p><p>yet I am the one left empty.</p><p>You bit into the apple the serpent offered,</p><p>consuming the venom hidden within.</p><p>And now your hands, once mine,</p><p>tend to weeds that choke what we planted.</p><p><br/></p><p>Your actions have left me in pain,</p><p>watering the garden with the grief distilled by my eyelids.</p><p>I plant my hurt like seeds in the soil,</p><p>and cover the nakedness of my heart</p><p>with the fallen leaves of my pride.</p>
