Web of Lies

Copyright 2013 Diana Rasmussen

Like a spider weaving a web,

one lie built upon another,

All fashioned into your master plan

To deceive and kill another.

*

Smooth talk till I fold,

And follow you home.

But your venom you spew,

Waiting for the kill.

*

Does it run in your blood

To betray ones you love?

When you violate my home,

It’s personal.

I heard Tom Selleck say the quote above on Blue Bloods.  It was one of those things that hit me right away. Yep, an “aha” moment.  It made me recall all the lies I believed when I was in an unhealthy and abusive relationship.  Denial is a powerful force. For many years I “knew” things were not right; but to admit it in the open meant I would have to make a new choice.  It meant I would have to stop giving my life and my power to someone else.  I had to choose to take my life back. Thank you Lord, for the truth, even though it hurt.
