The Web of Lies

I love you
The words spill from my lips
Unrehearsed and unintentional
It's too late now
You can't take them back


Time passes by much more quickly than you thought
Suddenly over the edge
Trapped in a maze of facades and deceit
What is this self imposed insanity?


I have lost my fear of rejection and emptiness
Only to have it replaced
Not with anger or rage
But by degradation and self-reproach


This web of lies I have spun so well
Will soon become my noose
