Free

Like a moth in a dangerous web
I try and try to break free
Free of the poisonous past
That still entangles me
Black widow edging nearer still
Filling me with dread
For I know soon
It will be me
Who walks among the dead
Deadly fangs click loudly
Spelling out my doom
With one last tired feeble try
I attempt to leave the room
The silky thread detataches
Unhooking from my wings
As if I'm finally able
To forget these dreadful things
I turn and look
Carefully now, upon my dreadful past
For being hooked upon that web
I fear I'm not the last
