Victim 2

What will you call me
If our eyes meet again
Words have scorched that better memory
So gullible
You exposed stupidity to some bitter enemy
And thought their truth better
Than my years of silence
Nothing is so worldly precious
To make me compromise the man I am
And all that's worth in you
Have lost its shine to common rust
For only gold can lie in trash
And meet the vulgar rush of time
Without the rot of shine
I hear your last words to me
Echo from the caverns of your rot
I feel the pain in me
A love where Judas sold himself to plot
And Christ upon his cross
Dying for Judas too
Said: forgive they know not what they do
And the victim died in the sinners stead
I imitate inaudibly,
Victim too of invisbility.
