Eve's Poem
EVE
eve sat in her little corner of the world
eyes so distant, eyebrows furled
eve imagined she was an angel
but no one could tell me where eve was
when she closed her eyes and cried
all the little girls tossed names at her
all the little boys wated her to play
but eve never really had much to do or say
she felt the emotions of the earth like an empath
and she ached with the tears of ancient men
then she disappeared in her world again
he used to strike her, her mother turned away
men would reject her innocence every day
and she continued to love in determination
to her destruction , this whole nation
when she ran, i knew where she'd hide
but no one could tell me where eve was
when she cried
we could not find her on monday
the corner of the world in which she stayed
her heart was broken , her mind dismayed
eve ran away from the world that day
and we looked in the places in which
she would hide
and no one ever could find out why
on that friday, eve, gentle eve
died
-Eve
