A Judas Kiss

Author Dana Redricks
May 19, 2018

Betrayal to its lowest point
A kiss from a friend
One hand embracing you
While the other hand is
stabbing you in the back
As Christian we are taught
to turn the other cheek
I do forgive but it's hard to
forget
I'm Finding it hard to know who
to trust that is what 
my mind is telling
me but then I receive
a gentle reminder telling me
vengeance is mine
declared the the Lord
Emotional wombs are hard
to heal and there is no pill to
to ease the pain
It feels as if someone has
ripped out my heart and
taken it and smashed it
to the floor
but just like everything it
takes time to heal to
be able to let it go and
to learn from each lesson
and to continue to keep
counting my blessings
