I’m a spider on the wall.

Something significant, nothing small.

I am

Obvious

And

Dangerous.

-Yes…

I will

Be everything you need.

-Come closer, let me feed

I am

Inhuman.

I am

Silken.

-Yes…

I will

Cast a silk web, lure you inside.

You’ll be bound skin-tight;

And never know how much I’ve lied.

I am

Beautiful

And

Lethal.

-Yes…

I will

Drink your life-blood

I spare no one, nor accept pleas

You have given and sacrificed yourself

To me.

I am

Brilliant.

I am

Violent.

-Yes…

I will

Sink my dainty teeth

Into your tender, sensitive skin

And pleasure you with my defiling words;

Your life is condemned,

Your life must end,

In my many delicate hands;

I will

Pick my soft web apart, strand by strand

Then

Throw you away

And begin again.
