So Close To Falling

Light breaks on the horizon\nthe ebbing on the flood\nfinally out of the clutches\npick myself up from mud.\nThe scales fallen from my eyes now\ndark clouds pass away\nno bitter taste left in my mouth\nand I can breathe again.\nCan look myself in the mirror\nwhile shaving you from my face\nand I’ll not be your victim\nI’ve escaped.\nAll of my senses gave me good warning\nevery signal flashed alarm —\nmy mind slept under narcosis\nfor you seemed so soft and warm.\nWell-schooled to be irresistible\nyour world’s one of constant schemes\nthe mistress of deft seduction\ntoo devious for me.\nYou tempted me beyond reason\nas with relish you played your game\nto your rules — double cross, deceit and shame\nyou toyed with me in many ways.\nSo close to falling\nbut by the skin of my teeth\nat the very last moment\nI’ve escaped you\nfrom your spider’s web I’m free.\nYou sucked the air out slowly from my lungs\nwith each new set of your desperate lies\nwith kisses you wove your sorcery…\nI believed you time after time.\nFilled my vains with a tempestuous madness\nloved me till I was dizzy and blind\nthen froze me out with dispassion\nyou’re poison of a deadly kind —\nDeliberately you manoeuvred me\nas your prey, the net was cast\nand for your killer instinct the coup de grace\nbut that will never come…\nSo close to…\nAll your tricks just don’t work now\nI’ve learned to stand up straight\nI’ve seen right through your cover just in time —\nI won’t see you again.
