I think of the time, energy and love,
freely poured into you,
past the point of no return;
and wonder at your ability
to absorb it all with a shrug,
a smile;
that hides those wicked fangs,
while that web you weave
keeps you suspended just above
all that you wrought,
all that you claim,
all that you topple;
and I realize that I forgot -
a spider will devour
absolutely anything
that stumbles
within its web.
This poem is a killer.
This poem is a killer. Literally and metaphorically speaking. Ahhmazing.
