I am but a fly

Oh wow, this is good, NB.
Very, very good.
Once you're hanging by a thread, it's hard to recover what is lost...especially if the thin thread is caused by being strung along.
Your #anxiety tag must be the spider...you know what spiders do to flies? 😔
Sorry and I love your work.

This poem is best described by these two words: poetic perfection meaning poetry doesn't get any better than this! Love, love, love it!

Dear NB,
Even your anxiety is elegant! Truth and beauty rolled into precise brevity. It’s a beautiful and relatable write given its subject. Bravo and well done. H🌷

Excellent imagery, getting caught in a web makes us feel helpless.
