Trauma

I demanded 

The kiss of love,

But you offered me 

The offal of betrayal.

Through the Judas 

Of throbbing life,

I became a victim 

Of your Judas kiss.

The arid land of mine 

That had experienced 

Momentary rain,

Is now barren.

Yes,

I have to wait,

I have to wait 

Till true love 

Is sewn on my soul 

To retrieve me from the

Trauma.
