Betrayed By A Kiss

you got Judas feet,
30 pieces of silver.
you swallow the lie,
hesitation quivers....

all the cards laid out,
smoke fills the air.
burn down the house,
if you can if you dare.

true hearts pawned
for a drink and a smoke.
till the naked are left
angry and broke.

putting years in the meter,
a nickel, a dime...
lovers are fools,
destiny, and rhyme.

still beneath the heat,
the curse, and the hiss...
your lover, and your friend...
betrayed by a kiss!
