"Spider's Web"

"Spider's Web"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

 I

How many times must I fall

for those words that you set up?

Time and time again

Like it was not a trap

II

Caught in your gaze

I should have already realized

There was not escaping 

Until the end of this trance

III

Yet after your voice has gone

Your memory lingers

Trapping me here

Forever and Ever
