You encircled my being
in scandalous deception
tantamount to your fingers
neck choking inception
my heart surrounded
your distracting smile
words unfounded
looking all the while
into
lies
deathly eyes.

"tatamount" Did you mean "tantamount"?
I liked how you shaped the poem into a goblet. Considering the substance of it, it brought to mind unknowingly ingesting a poison . . . in this case, the lies. Your poem flowed very well, and the rhyme is smooth and unforced. Thanks so much for entering my contest! -
It looked promising at the start but that was the beginning of the end in feelings and it showed, very much.
