The Little Spider I Refused To Kill- Part 1

The little spider walked under me
In the bathroom
I noticed him as he came towards me
I narrowed his space to come
He ran, hanging to his soul to flee
To the other side
I spoke
Go and I wont harm you
He paused standing still to listen 
I took the tissue roll and swung it behind him 
As if a signal to run
He ran, with his eight long legs 
Across the bathroom 
Hiding behind the small cabinet
I smiled to him 
As mercy to never kill 
A spider like him…

That is so me. I avoid killing spiders too for some unrealized reason. Very curious about what thoughts made you write this one. Really cute. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Blessings and love, Taha
