The judas kiss

[Biggus]

You said you had to go away,
Just a day or two
A business trip
Something you had to do

But I knew better
I knew that you were leaving
I found out
About the cheating and deceiving

I wait for the truth to come
But you just keep lying
You’re leaving me
And inside I’m dying

But you won’t see me cry
I just smile instead
I won’t let you see me
I will do that in my empty bed

You kiss me on the cheek
And look me in the eye
And with that Judas kiss
You turn and say goodbye

Somehow the laconic tone of this makes the underlying pain all that much more acute.

This penetrates deeper and deeper and expresses something that goes unsaid over fluxes of time.

Thank you both

I agree that the rhyming scheme adds an extra layer to the power of the suffering in the poem. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jersea

It's really good, sad but with a feeling I can relate to, so I really like it...
