Fragments

⤞spider

I am ensnared,
tangled in the cobweb of lies,
unable to break free
as I wait for my eventual demise,
for the trap that
you have woven,
a spider's tempting yet
toxic lure,
has beckoned me within
with its smugly satisfied succour,
captivating me completely
with the sweetness of
your deceit,
and now I'm stuck in
this gossamer-thin deception,
unable to retreat,
for hope was a dangled titbit
that I clung to with wild intent,
and there is nobody but me to blame
for this continuing
torment.
