I’ve got ten toes like you do
We’re almost the same
Created by one
And born without shame
Made in one image
We’re descendants divine
I was offered the world
Well I want what’s mine
The snake in the grass
Wants you to believe
That whatever killed Adam
Is sure to kill Eve
We’re homo sapiens
We have similar limbs
Our pulses fuel impulses
We act on our whims
I’m naked before you
Just flesh on bone
What separates us
But our chromosomes?
You share my weakness
Desire and fear
It’s your fear of desire
That draws me near
What hope do I have?
I’ve lost all my chances
I make my approach
You reject my advances
The face in the mirror
Casts a curious stare
From eyes that are yours
Though you’re not there
But the snake in the grass
Wants you to believe
That whatever killed Adam
Is sure to kill Eve
We consummated my dream
While I slept last night
It’s like you were there
Could I have been right?
So subtle are our differences
I could swear we were twins
I forgive your indifference
If you forgive sins
You share my weakness
Desire and fear
It’s your fear of desire
That draws me near
I’m guilty, don’t hate me
It’s a victimless crime
Love unrequited
Happens all the time
We consummated my dream
While I slept last night
I opened my eyes
You vanished from sight
The snake in the grass
Wants you to believe
That whatever killed Adam
Is sure to kill Eve
So subtle are our differences
I could swear we were twins
We’re a man and a woman
Who can’t even be friends
What hope do I have?
I’ve lost all my chances
I make my approach
You reject my advances
You share my weakness
Desire and fear
It’s your fear of desire
That draws me near
The snake in the grass
Wants you to believe
That whatever killed Adam
Is sure to kill Eve
