Caught

by  • 

Caught

Wearing rose colored glasses 
Blinded by the combination 
of fantasy and seduction
Drawn into your web of deceit
A tenacious girl interrupted
by silver tongued promises
of a charmed existence 
Allowing you to entreat
 
Slowly your spun gossamer
encased me in its stickiness
Gagging  on my words
I took my last breath
Once the life was out of me
I was of no more use
Left hung out to dry
in what was a pitiful death

    Perfect! I was caught up in the 2nd stanza so deeply that I realize I was holding my breath.
