I look for answers everywhere
I see the faces of the uncaring
They always have answers for unasked questions
The tragedy comes from the distance between our heart and head
It’s the difference from picking from the tree of knowledge or choosing to be ignorant in the bliss of not knowing
There are some things I’d rather not know
I walked next to an angel
An angel who didn’t see she was Devine
Lost and broken since her own fall from heaven
There was always something painful in her eyes
Somehow she punished herself every time she smiled
It’s a smile that sets so many hearts on fire
I would have happily walked in the bliss of ignorance
But she offered me a fruit from the tree of knowledge
I woke up in a reality all to familiar to my life
My angel took my hand and we walked quietly
A path I hadn’t seen before but knew all the same
It was seasoned with darkness and painful memories
She kissed me soft and it hung to my lips like the morning dew
Then she pushed me away to cry
She was always pushing me away
There was no time for me
No time for what could have been
Then she led me out of Eden
