spiderwebbed love

this honestly could be awful and i cant tell idk don’t be too mean XD  warning this is a vent poem about relationships 


where do you look for love?

do you find it in a person?

i sure thought i had

but i couldn’t of been farther from it

not true love 

simply put obsession

manipulation 

a well set out plan to trap me in your grasp 

 components of which i thought were love

all the “i love you”s

the compliments 

the late night conversations lasting till the sunrise 

all just a facade to trap me in that web of yours 

each time wrapping me up further like a greedy spider 

i was just the fly who happened to run into you

you strangled me with each word

wrapping the cord tighter around my neck 

suffocating 

smothering 

choking me till i’m left gasping for air 

this was not love

i realized this, and i set myself loose

cutting the ties from myself and you 

finally free again

I really like how it smoothly flows kind of telling a story.
