I just went to bed left you on Read I did it on purpose to mess with your head Laid in gossamer sheets tinged sickly red with the blood of words that went unsaid hard to deny who made the bed who caught whom in whose spinnerets Distraught with rotting thoughts locked in my own stocks stalking twisted halls the clocks have all stopped Stuck in my head kicking myself with broken knees and buckled legs struggling to free myself from myself Entombed by one I never could deceive darkness abounding when all that I need is to catch the right light and stop trying to fight Oh, what a tangled web we weave

The prompt was to use Walter Scott's "..tangled web.." line in a poem, this was what came out.
