Arachnophobia

With this fear I'm a slave
Just like digging my own grave

Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your bed
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your head

Spinning up
Spinning down
Climbs in your hair
Gives you a stare

Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your bed
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your head

Tiny legs walking
In your skin crawling
Making wounds wider
Nothing can hinder
Just like a dead flower
Making me wither

Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your bed
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your head

Takes a bite
Just a slight
Poisonous fangs
This sad song I sang
My view gets hazy
Making me go crazy
And as I bleed
My words do heed

Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your bed
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your head

I am glad you suggested I read this. I really like it. The 'stitch stitch' is like the sound I imagine they make creeping along.

I'm agreeing with nette... I really liked the repetition you have here... sort of made me think of the spider spinning his web.... stitch stitch, hush hush. Pretty catchy. Catch a fly. And I saw your comment in my poem--ulitin ko dito-- medyo kalerky ka naman eh o_O -- "binibini" na nga, tapos P.ink pa. Hmmm sige pwede na rin na naniguro ka, given na baka pwedeng mala BB Gandang Hari ang peg ko... haha.
