the coincidences of life strong disillusionment to the testament from your lips... a bittersweet refuge to my waking reality i'm saddened yet pleased happy that someone had the creative genius to alter my world, gaining my trust for me to be complacent as the changes were constructed "by my own hand" around me sad because i've suspected and you haven't even begun to fathom my curiosity i'm enraged that i've been taken advantage of greatful because by being another's amusement, my life was spared ultimately i hate you not for the treachery that you've shown dear friend but because you've shown me what should be the best in an imperfect world and i know in my heart...no one will ever compare let my lids flutter and happiness creep into my soul this ficticous bliss is no more with it's swift departure i grow anew loathed promises condemned to a mocked past bubbling with laughter of a mind lost i no longer have to listen to the reasons i don't give a damn if your words are pure they come from a flawed character, another's psuedo image flipside...the tables are reversed and the joke's on you laughing at you as my tears fall
I'm not sure how to take this, though I read it twice. Maybe it's Judas talking. Maybe it's Jesus talking. Maybe it's neither, it's you using it metaphorically. Whatever the case is, it's a hell of a poem (sorry, haha), the confusion of emotion, the love and hate, anger and sorrow, it's amazing.
before some very acute recent revelations i called this as my tears fall. just a reference because a fitting title eluded me. it's about a best friend, one of my closest confidants and how she is my judas iscariot. reading back over it though, with the words i used it easily could have been judas or jesus talking to the other.
I really liked the second stanza. I understand that kind of hate, like "it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" Nice work.
Yeah man, it's just a trip thinking about Judas talking to Jesus that way, or even vice versa. Either way, it's a trip. It's so easy to dehumanize Jesus, and even Judas, because they are so far removed, and anyone from the bible somehow seems more than human (even though the whole thing makes for one hell of a human drama); it's amazing to think of those people as being real people, not just religious figures of myth and legend. They must have had trouble in their relationships too, for example, I bet Jesus was quite a handful as a teenager, haha. Anyways, regardless of who's saying what to whom, even just us non-mythical people in our non-legendary lives, it was a good poem
