Two-Faced Arachnid

You

spidered your way

into my fragile life,

constructing a bewitching web

of shining white silk,

promising me a fruitful bond.

You

used your dragline silk

to strengthen our connection,

to support me,

to help me get through

the thick and the thin,

the good and the bad.

You

made me believe

that anyone could weave their way

into someone’s life so effortlessly.

You

showed me what it is like

to truly be trustworthy.

I thought you could be trusted.

But, you proved me wrong,

once…

You spun your sticky silk.

You

lured me into a web of friendship,

fully knowing it is a trap,

using my trust and faith

against me.

You

tore me apart

limb from limb,

forcing me to submit to

your

deceiving lies.

You

swallowed me up whole

until I was nothing but

a lifeless soul

hanging on by a thread

in the dusty deserted cobweb.
