The tangled web that has trapped me
without the slightest bit of warning
has now spun itself around me.
I see no sign of escape.

The lies and the truths
are not easily deciphered from one another.
The difference is something I’m afraid
I can no longer see.

The way the words kissed your lips
were filled with intentions of truth
but the actions that followed
could not be anything less than a lie.

The expectations that I held so tightly
that once held my life in place,
I have now let go of.
I no longer have use for them.

I need to know that I’m going to be okay
And I need to hear it from you.
I need to know where we stand
or I’m going to fall where I am.
