JUDAS' KISS

Long, lost, distant whispers

 

the roses sent are dying

 

food on the table uneaten

 

he’s lied to me again

 

when he said I love you

 

I want you so much

 

to remain by my side

 

to you I confide

 

Long, lost, faint touch

 

large hands on my skin cracked

 

and I knew before it happened

 

the betrayal and how it ends

 

he’s lied to me again

 

when he said believe me

 

call me friend

 

and take this kiss

 

call me friend

 

and take this kiss

 

Long, lost, suffering

 

he really did understand

 

the betrayal in the end

 

and I have still loved him

 

but he lied to me again

 

when he took my face in his hands

 

cracked with sin

 

and I have loved since

 

when he sealed his betrayal

 

with a kiss

 

and I have loved since

 

Long, lost, distant, faint, suffering Judas

 

and his kiss

[SilentVerses]

Deep and brimming with emotion the words take on a hectic rhythm fighting one another to be read, with so many connotations running parallel to each other your sentences have a never ending story and hurt illuminating the poignancy of your words.

[David W Moore III]

Wow. First read and I thought this was good. But second read through, it got better. I love the repetition. Reinforcing the betrayal and yes knowing it's coming, but holding on to hope. Nicely done.

Reading this again just seems to add so much more depth and poignancy. That betrayal was a stab through the chest. Spiked lips that spoke in steel tongue and kissed to watch you bleed. And though you saw it coming, there was a part of you that hoped, dared to wonder if it could turn out differently. Unbelievably profound to write of such a lie through the resemblance of the well-known tender kiss that sealed the Messiah's fate. Bravo, boo bear. Bravo.
