Blindly I refuse to see the writing on the wall as your sweet voice caresses my bruised ego. My mind won't accept the bitter truth. Old lies escape your lips disguised as a new start to our fractured lives and battered romance.

I'm led into a long forgotten land where promises shine like the midday sun and kisses are sweeter than ambrosia. Old dreams are awakened from their ancient slumber and new dreams fall from your lips like dew from the morning leaves. The longing to believe battles valiantly against the demons of deception and long buried hurts. Tears fall from my eyes as you deftly tear down the wall I so carefully built around my fragile heart.

To you this is a challenge to conquer. To me this is my life you handle so carelessly. Silently, I beg you to give me back my heart, my freedom, my self, as you encircle me in your arms I'm rendered as helpless as prey in a widows web.
