She-Spider
My eyes got heavier, heavier...
Gone, I sleep
Dreaming
I see before me
A tree, but a house
Inside it
The door wide open
Granting me a way in
I stop
Fear of not knowing
Keeps me debating
Should I
I then see
A woman of beauty
Greater than any
Ever seen
I decide to approach
And see her
As I get near
Her body convulses
And she changes
Before my eyes
I freeze in fear
She is now half woman
And half spider
Black widow
Now I see the web
Behind the house
And tree
She attacks me
I fall over in fear
I feel webbing
Going around me
Binding me
Keeping me from moving
Next my head
Suffocating...
I awaken
To the dog
Licking my face
Such adoration
Is really flattery
I pet her
Happy she's not
A beautiful she-spider
