The Spider's Wish
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
