Spiders
As he sat in the dark .
He smiled .
And all the while .
The walls and the ceiling,
smiled back .
It was their little secret .
Although the coke can was empty ,
he poured out another Vodka anyway
Back went his head
As it slid down his throat .
Put the fire back in his belly again .
When he opened his eyes,
the spiders were gone
Only four hours,
and a quarter of a bottle left.
Would the spiders get him before Dawn ?

We all have fears, real or imagined, and we all deal with them differently. This poem shows us a very bleak scenario but, unfortunately, all so true in many cases. Well done. Kris
