Mehr Äpfel und mehr Würmer

If I were the apple
innocently clinging to the
kinky branches

you were the worm
malicious creeping up to the leaves
scrabble about a place to stay

If I were the apple
dangling there with no idea
dreaming of far better days

you were the worm
noshing on my paring calm
making your way to my inner

If I were the apple
searching for the troubleshoot
cast about the disastrous spot

you were the worm
finding yourself home
inside your applecave

If I were the apple
broken-hearted
screeching from this achy black leakage

you were the worm
finding yourself being happy
with everything you took from me
with every single apple nip

If I were the apple
subtle dying from the sorrow
unaware of the issue

you were the worm
letting me die
unaware of the future

If I were the apple
tumbling to the scummy ground
hating myself
for not stepping gently

you were the worm
taking a shine of something else
leaving

If I were the apple
decomposing
dead

you were the worm
elsewhere
carefree
