tangled

how did we get here?
where did we go wrong?

I thought we had it together
instead we find ourselves 
tangled in webs of our own making

I want to escape but cannot
find an easy way out 
yet I still cling to hope

    tangled in webs of our own making - so true but, perhaps there is a way to untangle what was woven.

      I believe that too. It just takes work. Thanks for reading.

    Your quadrille really resonated with me, Maria. Sometimes we get to a point in a relationship where it’s too difficult to find a way out of the tangle.

    Sometimes those tangles become knots, the longer we leave them.

    O, the webs we do to ourselves...

    Painful. Hope isn't going to help!

    I've been there, and I bought the T-shirt. Too familiar.....

    Great poem, Maria! We definitely put ourselves into some messed up situations.

    Because clinging to hope is easier. Good one, Arcadia

    So easy for relationships to go this way. You express it well.

    I think the webs are almost always of our own making.
