my eardrums rung at the wave of your tongue,

by the breath escaped from your hung lungs.

i was such a fool for the words you said,

when spun inside the widow’s web.

absurd as it appeared, you made monsters disappear.

but your life is your own, to which I’ll not interfere.

much went unseen in obscure evenings,

though you said believing is all but seeing.

i’m kept tame in this unlocked cage, always to blame these unlocked chains.

wise men won't find the freedom of fools

if church is for souls, and graveyards for ghouls.

she spoke of nights that spread shivers through spines,

of the past she swore she left behind.

but night shadows are ever haunting,

and the taunting ever daunting.}
