Eve's Rotten Apple

I've taken my knife
filleting my skin
bleeding for you on the page

I've exposed myself in public
then searched for a cloak
to cover my nakedness

though once it's out there
there is no covering for my shame
just the ugly truth

like a rotten apple plucked from
the tree full of worms
once eaten they take hold of your belly

make their way to your brain
taking hold like a parasite
wrapping around your cerebellum

enshrouding your every thought
I wish I could cover my raw thoughts
though there is no hope for it now

what is spoken in the dark
will reveal it's self in the light
or so I've been told
