Spiderweb

Take a peek into the abyss

Do you like what you see?

Winding spirals of hate

Tendrils of sorrow that cling to your soul

Do you enjoy it?

Please do be honest

Tell me what you think

of the labyrinth of cruelty

Poisonous words more harsh than life.

It is a mystery, no?

How could this reside in such a person?

The agony of living

Past traumas forced to the surface

How could such a person survive?

I shall tell you a secret, yes?

How does one persevere?

It must be some complex reply!

Isn't it?

No!

Surely you jest!

Why, of course it is quite simple

Embrace all of it little by little

Take the pain of others into yourself

It can't possibly hurt more than your own!

Ah, I do hope you'll forgive me

I seemed to have told you something false

What could it be, you must wonder

You feel it now, don't you?

Do you feel it too much?

There is an easy way out

It's right there before you

Pay no mind to what others tell you

You should still end up where you want

So give me this much

My helpless little fly

What is it like

Peering this deep into my mind?

Author's Note

...I have no idea where this came from. The original concept for it is in the last stanza, but all the rest before it...I think that's better left unsaid.

This was honestly breath taking, the whole piece just flows PERFECTLY.
It's gorgeous how it's constructed, you obviously have a natrual hand for a pen.
Amazing work, I truley loved it.
The way yo use your metaphors are also very beautiful.
