Poisoned Apple

Copyright © Priya Florence Shah

🍎🍎🍎

A gleaming apple, red and bright,
Whispers promises of sweet delight.
Its skin, perfection, draws you near,
A love so pure, you have no fear.

🍎🍎🍎

But bite inside, and truth unfolds,
Rotten flesh, a story told.
Worms crawl deep where beauty dies,
Toxic love, masked in disguise.

🪱🪱🪱

What seemed so perfect, now decays,
A bitter heart in false display.
Beware the shine that pulls you in,
For poison hides beneath the skin.
