Tangled Web

Venomous tongue

And your
Diamond eyes

A cruel
Dichotomy

Wall of stone
Built, to protect

Your heart of glass

Your words strike
Like an H-bomb
The devastation reads
Like a book
Let’s just skip
The final chapter

Tangled up in you
This web you weave,
My black widow

 

Lies may smell of the truth

But, truth often reeks of lies

Specious smiles

And deceitful eyes

Loving words

Malicious lies

It all ends the same, with

Salty cheeks and runny nose

 

Tip of the tongue,
Tick on my neck
Suck me dry

[SilentVerses]

Love it, with such few words you weave a tale of known betrayal hidden within the depth and heart of a wandering soul, forever in fear and yet in yearning of the emotions that the heart knows will be morphed into something different, something painful, and yet the craving want will not let the feelings whither and so calling upon the devil of seduction offers up self laid bare upon the alter of desire and tears. Fragile and timid the heart beats a shattering word to the beast with a forked tongue of whispering lies of cliche. Deceitful and cruel juxtaposed with the beauty your words hold.

u dont know how humorous u can get even in the eye of an emotional storm!
And though it is hard to decipher the treasure of the vagaries of your mind...
i still stand firm in my decision...you are just fine...u r on cloud no9 9.

I like your characterization here. The last stanza really stands out for me, I like the tick reference- very specific.
