Spider

I lie awake at night Unable to sleep Afraid the spider Will descend upon my peace His silken thread Suspending him in space From the ceiling Toward my face Toward my face! I lie beside my lover Unable to satisfy Overwhelmed with nausea I close my eyes The spider makes his way Onto my bed Up the sheets Toward my head, oh All of the things you've done have tarnished me I'm forever haunted by your face How I wish I could pull the legs off you one by one Just to give you a little taste of my pain Why did you do this to me? I wonder, did the spider torment you? Did he dangle in your face a constant memory? Did the spider's legs crawl on you at night To appease him, you threw him to me? I don't understand this madness! All of the things you've done have tarnished me I'm forever haunted by your face - your face! your face! How I wish I could pull the legs off you one by one Just to give you a little taste of my pain Why did you do this to me?
