Judas Kiss

everything you’ve said whispers round to me here now I sit this warning is free dead are my dreams in your pretense of care sweeping the misery as you reek of despair A fair weather friend in the mirror narcissus your lies pave roads a consummate actress I have begun to believe ricin flows in your veins everything you touch weeps of black stains all poison you leach flows right back to me and as I found out I raged disbelief a roaring rant told them they lied here as I weep the truth will not die to my face you smile as fangs stroke my hair coaxing and pleading pretension webs there a black widow spider masked in mortal garb the spear of your words broke my skin like a barb through the weather of life in the course of the rain I have measured my life in the blood of the pain A beaker of misery I add to the pot from friend to foe this cant be forgot I’ve come to tell you you’ve been mistaken for my spirit breathes and is not forsaken see I maybe down but honey not out you watch your back when I come I wont shout as the Chinese whispers you’ve spread about me in this river of hate my agony is freed revenge is served cold is something I’ve heard but the blood of a mongol pumps the heart of this bird so watch through the night keep your ear to the dark that scratch in the wall carries more than a bark from wretch to the wrath I have now become you killed all the light in the heart of my sun

Don't ever let anyone kill "the light" in your heart, Jayne. Yes, there are Judas and black widdows out there, but you seem to be able to transcend the negative influences. Thanks for reading my work. It can't compare to the depth I've found in yours. Love, Carolyn
