~ Cobweb of Deceit… ~ 

☆

He wove a blinding web of

deceit with such finesse,

That I had no choice but to

yield to his lie’s caress

* 

His words were so velvety,

his smiles pure  gold,

Yet he masked the frost

of a heart grown cold

*

Each glance was a promise,

each touch a pure vow,

And I—too blinded—never

questioned why and how

* 

The truth lay shrouded

in sinister shadows deep,

While I danced in dreams

That I could never keep

 *

Unaware, silk can strangle

as much as it charms,

And I awoke—alone—in

the spider’s deadly arms..!
