Judge Us Not

JUDGE US NOT

Judge us not for our sin
Look at the people we've been

Don't hold it against us that we were weak
We found a love that every human would seek

Don't look down because we both gave in
She was the most beautiful place I've ever been

We fought the feeling for a very long time
But we both knew I was hers and she was mine

You may look at us with a haughty grin
But if you've never felt true love, to know how we feel....you can't begin

You may condemn when you look at our life
She had a husband and I had a wife

Don't judge us for the secrets we hide
We shield others from pain but each day we die inside

Have you ever felt a love that brings you to your knees
But had to hide what everyone else sees

To know the agony of the silent scream that bursts from your heart
Have you been taken, but met the person you should've been with from the start

We did not ask for this feeling we fought
Neither of us was looking for this, but our souls found what they sought

If you've never had to each day put on a happy face
And just wish somebody else was in your place

Have you had to weigh the option of death or life
The bliss of together or separateness which brings so much pain and strife

So please don't judge us until you've looked at the pain in our eyes
Or seen how each of us when alone silently cries

If you could feel but a fraction of the pain we knew
Maybe then you'd not judge us but would take pity on us two
