I stare into a face that frightens me more than ever,How can I stand and say i’m not afraid ? I see the eyes and i’m sure I know better, Than to cross paths with this 8-legger.Why oh why, do spiders frighten me ? Is it because I imagine them crawl
treat me like Tuesday
even if it is dawn on Friday
ask me not of my spiders cushioned under skin
but of my beloved socks
not of my whys or nos
more so of my whys to yeses
My most feared tormentor, that hushed sentry
Guarded in its webbed domain, transfixed by its prey,
Whether it be me or a sly housefly grappling against its threaded prison.
I need you like I need silence,
But tonight I can't have either.
Harsh words of lovers creep through this house.
Love is fake.
I know it is.
I'm too smart to believe in it but I pretend to.
Your words
Sharper than a knife
Thrown at my heart and I’m left bleeding inside
My whole life has been lived through your eyes
Nothing can ever be mine
Empty compliments
You feel it coming,
You always do.
The creepy crawlies are coming for you.
They itch, you scratch,
Oh the dark o'ersized spider
Crawling through the murk and mire
Its lumbering fangs do aspire
Slumbering lives soon retire
In the dark, they do not know
Soon thier sleeping fate will show
Depression… I’m nauseous.
Obsession… Over cautious.
Learned my lesson… I’ve got this.
Left with less and got the obvious.
A fracture… it’s painful.
Your stature reveals a vain full…
Of poison.
Many wonder why
Self-Inflicted
Inhibiting
"sigh"I just
couldn't deal with it all
internal pain- in my weeping mind
I couldn't take
couldn't cry
so I broke a mirror
Once I watched a fly,
struggle against a web,
I stared as it twitched in horror,
knowing it would soon be dead.
Ever so gently,
a small brown spider
stepped on to its
white, glossy trap.
You see me on the wall
And what’s the first thing you do?
You become appalled,
And suddenly within a few
Seconds you make a big mistake.
Five butterflies whirr around my head--
playing catch-me-if-you-can with each other's glowing, neon flutter.
I'm elated to see these spectacular creatures in orbit around me,
Caught in a web the fly
Will soon say good- bye
Knowing his life may end
He has to save his friend
Looking around for help
No one hears him yelp
The creepy eight legs
Listens to all the begs
