Poem Title:
Poem
I tried to be patient I tried to keep my cool I tried to be pleasant And not act like a fool I tried to be soothing and calm Like the smell of rose balm But.... My feelings got the best of me of course What's worse? I feel like a spider on all fours I'm burning bright Right in front of you I isolate and ignite Left in back of you Maybe.... I might have some good news for you - You're mine and I'm not letting go You're the victim and I'm the predator or vise versa I have weaved this web with articulate woe Collect my tears in your decrepit jar I like you a lot just the way you are And.... I'm wishing you'd be my victim forevermore Well.... What are you waiting for? Come spend a little time with me, myself and I Pretty soon, you'll see, with no web of lie, That I'm in love with knitting ancient grief I beg for your silent plea and utter relief I'm underneath you and above you... Regardless, I'm always there with you Even if you try to avoid me, You can't Where can you flee with my grasp? Will I set you free? I won't But, wait...wait!! Please... I acknowledge you so Let my weaving powers show A future for you and I that will grow Listen to my many legs, scuttling and crawling right next to you now I am like the mysterious sweat on your brow I can clearly see... With a million eyes... I'm no longer blind When you're my lovely find All your callous lies and crooked lullabies - feed to me All your wretched goodbyes and your sad cries - take it all away possibly The tiny hairs on my shapeless body stand up a tad You're my best friend that I never had...oh well, too bad I tried to be serious But I got too curious I tried not to make you uncomfortable But, I read and taste you like a delectable fable I'm scorching ice Right in front of you You're my living sacrifice If only you...knew... What our future may hold You are beautifully bold While I'm just a worthless insect You're just a priceless human being I wish you were my bug as I expect When I see you, grace and benevolence is what I'm seeing You're sweet...and... Rather salty and BLAH! Bitter
