EVE

I like the sound of your heels
I like the sound of your squeals
I like the color of your lips

And I like the way you right hand grips mine
I like the way your cheeks unfold into a smile
I like the way you kiss me with your eyes open all the while
I find you to be the most beautiful thing I see
And I find you to be the truth, forgetting about Adam

You’re my Eve
You’re my Eve
You’re my Eve
And I might be your snake
Your apple

My fingers are like keys to the gates of your ribs
I hold you like a puzzle might fit
You are like marble
In my palms
And every breath you take
I read just like a psalm

You are my Eve
You are my Eve
You are my Eve
And I might be your snake
Your apple
Your Adam
