Judas

A betrayer like you
Comes once in a lifetime.
Every man has one.
And every woman fails.
Trust never came easy
As your duplicity was see
Through I never knew its
Name
Your Imentions were covert
Yet they were revealed
In time
My heart was pricked
With the poison arrows
You sent forth.
You left me crucified
And like a soldier in
Battle
You took to flight
On the night I was betrayed,
You were nowhere to
Be found.,
And because of you, I died
A thousand deaths

I get the meaning of this piece, but I am not sure of the self you are writing about. Is this meant to portray a male figure as the Judas? Anyway, I guess a Judas is a Judas. I get the message. Did you mean to use the word [intentions]? If you did, you spelled it wrong. ~ Geezer.
