Spiders
When I discovered spiders lived with me,
I was amazed at what they would locate.
The complex eyes with which they used to see,
Would follow every move I made till late.
The creepy webs they'd weave were all around;
Designed a wicked way I can't define.
I thought they'd stay confined to their boxed ground
But sticky trap remains and sounds a sign;
Of dead thoughts caught in traps of their own glue;
No way to get them back, the spiders ate.
Left spawning secrets Godlike wanting do,
To steal the pride of prey, asleep, their bait.

When Darkness Speaks
When darkness speaks to me it says I'm safe;
They can't see flaws I try to keep away;
Just like a cover made of finest lace,
There's only hints of me and where I stay.
When darkness decides to enter my space,
It never leaves a mess it's always clean.
If I share it with someone it's our place
to imagine and know what we might mean.
Darkness is like love for a small mistake,
It can make it disappear or wither,
For a time though, it's an illusion that's fake;
When light beckons us in to come hither.

Suspended Symbolism
The angel is not a star, I'm afraid;
When I called for a man he was not there!
Hesitant to tell you it's truth;
Not old, not young, robust and had white hair.
I thought I was alone to walk amazed,
I was a dead woman in this strange place.
I called a random name to my surprise
After this one I'll never be the same;
Was feminine yet styled quite shortly formed;
No smile all while I felt this presence still
An instrument of God I'm sure “I feel”
This was not of my force or of my will.
Absolutely a gift of divine tact;

"Only the Good Die Young"
I'll come out in Virginia if it's not too late
A Catholic woman that got hit on a date
Caught a terrible disease, I guess it's fate
"I might as well be the one"
He showed some charm, I was vulnerable still
Took off his pants and injected the kill
Afterwards he told me "the price" that I'll pay
Now there's nothing that can be done.
"Only the good die young"?
Is that what I'm waiting for?
"Only the good die young" ?
Nothing worth dating for!

Where Art Thou
Oh Daddy, where art thou?
So we spin our small wheels
Then we look all around;
Is this purgatory?
This new place I've found;
It is all I can feel.
Directions are hard to take now,
When all you have is memory.
Living in that forsaken town;
Remember death like yesterday.
I want a pill, I found the stash;
Let me drive now, I want to crash;
Seen sad parades, into happenstance;
Like chasing down nervous romance.
Is this a new form of advertisement?
If it is I need advisement!
You don't need to do that with me!
Do...

Terror Train Station
On a “weary” Thursday morning at the train station of terror
I wanted to make it clear we had to say our goodbyes
Like some kind of horrific nightmare, an early morning error
His realization sobbing didn't come from me yet was really mine
The years I remember I was free had now come between us
The significance made me understand we had to break apart
No longer an attraction to this game, the importance, no trust
The gamble of life's injustice angered and left me a broken heart
On this brief dreary trip I wanted to buy them something, maybe breakfast;...

Jealousy's Angel
What they do is try to scare me again.
It's Real! No use in trying to pretend.
These threats are high on jealousy;
I don't know why, but it is not for me.
They think there will be no repercussions
To the twisted plans of fate they may steal;
Know this, I am being watched by dozens,
Idiosyncrasy is truth I feel.
Their voices speak in syllables,
The kind you cannot reach that low.
An angel cries from up above a cloud
Whose strong storms may never beget to show.
This guard of hearts and minds alike shall stay;
A true new worried...

Why Chase The Opposite of Lucky
Why should you stalk the opposite of luck?
As if my heart had been struck on the road
Are we in another country or continent stuck?
We all supposedly live in this strange, free? Abode
Sure you can be lucky and throw it all in my face!
I get a small fraction, but I can't buy this frightening place!
It's only because I was once lucky too, oh dear! not as lucky as you!
Do you think I can just vanish from here without a trace?!
Hon, I'm not the only one that's in this percent,age?
Many loyal fans, don't think on them while you rage
This is the way...

I'm Barely Standing
Can feel it in my legs, in my fingers
This fever won't go yet, it brings me down
The bruises that are on my legs linger
I don't really want to share this around.
The pain is gone but it still leaves a stain
Every time one hears the word, I'm stranded;
nothing, no regard, just someone's disdain
but it's not known, I'm left empty handed.
Class limits me from any kind of help;
I'm a leper here, I'm not at all proud.
There's nothing on the market they would sell
That would help, no charity he chimes loud.
The death sentence waste,...
