Apple

Rushes of emotion  
Consume me  
Like the swarming  
Of ants  
On a rotting apple  

I am the apple 
Once surrounded 
By a shining sheen  
Then broken into  
Torn apart  
To reveal  
The inside  
Cold and wet  
White nonetheless 
Gleaming  

Within seconds 
The white becomes browned  
The glimmer  
Only a shimmer  
Of the past  

Tiny chunks  
Are taken out  
Piece by piece  
Lying on the concrete  
Once on a pedestal  

Nothing but  
A thin layer  
Containing all the rot  
That lays inside  
Once shown to the air  
The truth spreads  

Take me  
Tear apart my soul 
Hold parts of me  
Within your hands 
Tell me I am beautiful
