Spider Veins

Slowly rising, like lies
My consternation 
Surfaces over time 
They take, without asking 
what once was mine
Spreading like the thoughts 
I try to confine
I know it's a shame
And a crime
There are no remedies and 
No solutions that I can find
I'm losing faith and desire
They've crawled inside
my aging body and mind
Like if I was swathed in silk 
I am paralyzed 
Their hate is killing me 
and those of my ilk
