What lies behind them,
Your eyes of soft red?
What little memories,
Grand secrets do you dread?
What lies beneath the lies,
The ever tangled web?
Is it all fragile,
Waiting for the
Shards of broken glass
To be picked up,
Only hoping not to draw blood?

What lies beyond them,
The gateways to your soul?
Tortured, tormented are you,
Terrorized and entangled
By an inescapable spider,
Fear a faulty motivator

What lies behind them,
Behind your walls,
Behind closed doors?
