    'Web of Sighs, Web of Lies'

    'Web of Sighs, Web of Lies'

    With sweet words you spun a gossamer thread
    Spellbound, I was captured and held
    With elaborate lies, you wove your web
    And a willing victim was I.

    Words of desire, your elegant prose you spun
    Of longing, and hope that you'd find
    A perfect love with whom you'd walk life's path
    Willing captive, I hoped it was I.

    You continued your spell, a master deceiver
    Conjured visions of hope within me
    Your gossamer threads spun tighter still
    For your love, I would gladly die.

    Those threads, bound so tightly became as steel
    Trapped in your web and under your spell
    With your words you wrapped my heart in deceit
    While your touch made me shiver and sigh.

    Cocooned in your web, those threads of lies
    Became the constant in which I believed
    Till the day truth at last opened my eyes
    And a captive to love, died I.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
