Judas Lips

Judas Lips
by
Keaton Foster



In an undeterminable
Amount of distance
She stands
Because of her
And all that she has done
I am far less of a man
The space between us
Can never again be bridged
Such transgressions
Can never hope to be fixed
I once lived for her sweetest of kiss
But in the darkest of times since
I have grown to hate all that she is
The things that she willingly did
Still hurt so damn much
With a smile lent from the devil
She easily drew me in
The blackness of her soul
Infects all that she knows
Her name mine as well be pain
Her game is total destruction
Absolution through obliteration
A girl like her will never accept less
Once her Judas lips touched mine
I was certainly doomed
Trust me when I say
That kissing her is a terrible mistake
A toxic stew of forever brews
On the cusp of her soft lips
A darkness of excess is hers
Once it touches the lips of another
They will be sucked into her prison of skin
Locked away, they will always remain
She will easily move on
Because that is what she does
She cares nothing for men like us
She cares only for the darkness that gives
Her the life that she has always wished
I would say to feel sorry for her
But such feelings would be a waste of time
I will only feel sorry for myself
And those who refuse this warning
Do not fall for the promise of her kiss
Because if you do, there will be no salvation
From what it means to have tasted her
Judas lips…
