I was scorned by those afraid
Those who listened blindly
Faithful, and gutless.
Eve always knew
Adam was not good enough for Eden
That he could not resist a taste
A kiss of innocent ambrosia
A bite of virgin flesh
Adam turned his back on Lilith
For the greater good
But I see the blood of the decaying world
And wonder whether a broken woman
Is better than a fallen one.
I have spent too long
Cast as the Serpent
When I have always been
The fruit that tastes the sweetest.
