I trace the fibre
of each of your lies,
note the intricacy
of their overlapping –
marvel at the depths
of your scheming,
still suffering aftershock
of deception’s braid.

Oh V.J. this is just so incredibly powerful! Especially those last 2 lines, “still suffering aftershock
of deception’s braid.” You are a greatly gifted wordsmith my friend! 😀 ❤

It might be easier to just sing the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E70FWduMHZ4

That would have been much easier, and more to the point.
