That day was like any other... or so I thought.
Little did I know that in a spider's web I would be caught.
Walking along the street a man was staring at me from the other side.
Had I known what would happen --- I would have run! I would hide!

And so the story goes like this...
I was walking along in my world of innocent bliss-
when the stranger beckoned to me that day....
I crossed the street to see what he had to say.

He whispered honeyed words into my ears...
told me he knew and understood my fears.
I did not see that he was in disguise...
He could appear to be anything he wanted before my eyes.

He took me into a dark forest of misery,
shadows of anguished souls surrounded me.
I had turned my back on all that was good and true
and in that forest --- I saw the true you.

When the mask of deceit came off your face,
my poor little heart --- it started to beat at a frantic pace.
For before me was not the man I had at first seen,
he had become something from my scariest dream.

At first he had appeared as an angel of light.
I was not prepared for the sight---
For --- Lo and Behold no angel was he ---
BUT THE VERY DEVIL STANDING BEFORE ME!
