Web of lies

Lynna K. Clark 2009 (Lawrence)

Free verse
I hold your web of lies.
It's hanging,
Dangling.
I won't cry.
It's shattered,
forever
Because it was discovered
When we once loved each other.
So, I'll set it on fire
And ignore your tears,
I'll destroy everything,
Just for you to love me.

About this poem
