my lover has <br />loosened the knot, <br />the noose can longer choke <br />the very breath from out of me, <br />the same way it felt <br />when he made love to me <br /> <br />the spider, the fly and the web- <br />which am I? <br />The aggressor? The fool? or the stage? <br />upon which he'd write his plays <br />and act out scenes as though I meant more <br />than the damsel in distress or the vicious cycle of events- <br /> <br />my lover says: <br />' if we were only closer, we'd be closer' <br /> <br />What a moral of this poem- <br />mere hours make an impossible distance<br /><br />Amberlee Carter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-spider-the-fly-and-the-web/
