Sometimes, cathartic work like this can lose people. I understand because I often write for catharsis. So, believe me when I say: excellent pacing here. I love the almost playful end rhyme, weaving a web as if to hide its seriousness from itself. I feel as if this is that specific kind of personal that acts as a mirror for everyone who reads it. I'm also intrigued by some of your word choices. Specifically, "sealing" and "knightly" both struck me.
