These are the products of my insomnia. This, a very personal piece, has been an idea/thought/concept that once a revelation was made to me, I looked back at the events over the course of time that it affected.

First, before incorrectly interpreted, this is not about a love interest, past love, current love in the sense that it may seem, from there, you can make your own interpretations of what it means, or does not mean for you.

Many of my pieces are personal, however when dealing with writing about oneself or about love (muse), like Blue Lines, it may in part be a release or an expression. This piece, is ironic, at how thoughts and favor can easily change though the person decides to omit all of the facts.

“Judge-ment”
KS 04/03/12
Your eyes looked upon me,
I said it was human to judge,
You said it was not,
As you interpreted me,
You liked me then,
Just not my words,

You told me not to judge,
I lay this at your feet,

You claimed spirituality,
Openness,
As you matched,
Religion,
With myth,
With mysticism,

You told me not to judge,
I lay this at your feet,

You took the love I had,
You crumpled it behind your dark glasses,
Forgot the:
Unyielding,
Respect,
Joy,
Place,
You held in me,
The love of a man for a woman,

You told me not to judge,
I lay this at your feet,

You once called me noble,
Saw all my good,
Then compared me to,
Her him,
Then your him,
Though those hims,
Were always what they were,
I had already told you,

You told me not to judge,
I lay this at your feet,

I became the bad guy,
In your eyes,
I didn’t realize the good before me,
In your eyes,
Though your actions lied,
Because you faiegned not knowing,
My betrayed trust,

You told me not to judge,
I lay this at your feet,

So in the lies of your actions,
The omission of history in your thoughts,
You hid behind the silence/lies of blood,
And avoided the truth you had known,
Allowed the ignorance of your own life,
You chose to do what you asked me not to,

You told me not to judge,
I lay this at your feet.
