chosen

not this apple
but that

not that apple
but this

i watched
you select
only the best

for your basket

but as the sun
shone its way
through
the orchard

it overshadowed
the path 
to my heart

if you
are this particular
over fruit
that gets eaten

if you
are this cautious
about food
you partake

then how
did you think
i was the one
that was worth it?

how
did you know
i was the one
that would stay?

the apple
of your eye
as time passes by

rotten to the core

will you ever
find out
the secret of
my appeal

or am i
in the darkness
forevermore?
