When We First Deceive! Poem by Nadalia Bagratuni

Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When we first deceive.
Oh, I never really knew what these words
Meant,
Until I met you last night.
You were beautiful,
You were lovely,
You looked so great in the moonlight.
I felt faint,
I lost my head,
I just couldn't wait.

I headed straight for you,
I want to be in your arms,
Oh, how you deceive,
Things aren't always what they appear to be,
You weren't such a slick siren,
There for my fancy,
You were waiting for your dinner
partner,
Your invite was intoxicating,
Your looks were great,
Your arms were out stretched,
And just couldn't wait.

Just about then I finally realized,
I couldn't come to you,
You were out of my class,
You were so beautiful,
This was without doubt.
However, if I came I would end up in your spider's mouth.
