Paper thin walls
tear
at the slightest touch.
Cracks covered over
show
in illuminated light
Spider leg cobwebs
creep
from edge to edge
This silken concoction
snags
at the corners
Catching the fly
waiting
to expose deceit
Eyes of beholder
look
through shattered frames
To the doorway
embedded
In a tissue of lies.

I like this. Starts out with tearing wall paper -- ends with a tissue of lies. Cool. Everything has a "catch," even the fly! Very cool.
-
Interesting to read with its numerous images. One typo - "concotion" should be "concoction"
Good luck with it.

Very thought provoking!
Different for you and very good
I like it.
