Writings

like pearls before swine
i laid myself bare
you oohed and you ahhhed
prodded and stared
then you took a big bite
and swallowed me whole
chewed until full
then spat out my soul
you then picked up
where it turns out
you never actually left
safely ensconced
in your spiders nest
spinning and twirling
the web of deceit
telling all who listen
how you were deceived
but you know and i know
(oh, and they know it too)
who here's the liar
and who here's the fool
