The Kiss © 2001 by Night Hawke Thirty silver pieces is not reward enough it's not the stuff to raise the Cain stone it isn't this No It is the kiss the kiss is sweet upon my cheek knowing that it veils the complete contempt that hides in your heart behind words that assuage, mitigate, pacify and placate me Judas, Delilah; My hair will grow back No I will not hunt you down and eat you yet that is not what makes you sweat and toss awake each night It's almost, almost flattery you hate me so I go on I turn my cheek again to you yes kiss me first; vengeance, your reproof comes without exertion too no matter what you do to me you will always just be YOU |

We share space with some who haven't our best interests at heart. Particularly grating to have these Judas' in your face. Enjoyed. |

I didn't realize how much I missed reading your work until now. It's like being served Sunday Brunch...in bed. ;-) |

ahhh, the sting of betrayal and being sold to the highest bidder told it well, Local Rebel. |

well you if any know how many of these *i* have written from the other side of this sort of relationship, it is disturbing to read this...though it really is sad, for both parts, it is honest down to the very end....powerful write this just brings up so many feelings in me....didn't know you had a shovel attached or I might not have read.....sigh [This message has been edited by jellybeans (edited 08-21-2001).] |
