I Saw Judas Iscariot

My phone rang and it was my 
lover calling.
How am i to know,
It was to talk of an empire's 
falling.
I raised my eye brow,
With a face full of smiling,
Not knowing it was my judas 
cock crow..


She hid a secret she now 
declares,
That she was to be another's 
wife.
She said "take care,"
But she was the love of my life. 
Now I had to take note and be 
aware.
Before I become the deadly 
victim of love's strafe.
Clothed with the purple blossom 
of judas tree.


Now I finally realise,
That she had been telling me 
lies.
Of how we will be lovers until 
she dies
My eyes can see clearly,how 
time flies
How time exposes the truth like 
fire flies
All these,I see with my eyes.


What crimes have I committed?
To be rewarded with betrayal.
From her heart,my memories 
she evicted.
Oh no!what caused her to be so 
disloyal
A new groom her heart elected.


Going through the summer 
times,
With my friends all around,
Asking for my crimes,
My only crime was loving a 
damsel in distress.
For her I write these lines
Because after she left
I found my gold mines.
