Nail on the wall
Picture to fall
Spider in crawl
Omen to stall
Side along side
Image in stride
Time not defied
Somebody lied
Web on the spin
Calling the sin
Sepia got thin
Unfolding din
Intricate weave
Dust balls to grieve
Do not deceive
Imminent leave
Photograph torn
Image forlorn
Passion outworn
Innocence shorn
Framed by betrayal
Lost in the grail
He cuts the brail
The tale of a nail
