Poem 39 - To the Modern Day Judas

A/N: This poem is... special. ( you might look at the title and then wonder how that could be true, but yes, I mean that.) The little skirmish is over now... I've forgiven and asked pardon, but I made a promise to upload everything that I write. Also, Janxi Regidor Chua and Rodeza Balingbing, two dear friends, asked me for this. So here goes.....

To the Modern Day Judas

A scornful laugh, a taunting word...

These are the things that I have heard.

I once thought that you're a friend,

But your betrayals made it end.

I gave you all, without a doubt;

But you've gone and thrown them out.

After taking all I've got,

You've left me to lament my lot.

When you were wrong, I told you so.

Loyalty was not a show.

But when I made one mistake,

You gave me proofs that you are fake.

Friend or traitor, fiend or angel?

Do I really know you well?

Should I really give my trust

To one who crushed my dreams to dust?

Your sweet caress led to my death,

Now, I draw my final breath.

'Tis the false and cruel word

That pierced me; that infernal sword.

(Note: LOVE IS THE MOVEMENT! A KISS FOR A BLOW IS THE MOTTO!)
