Sleepless Spiders

Your world is a black web

You spin and catch us like insects

The more you spin, our feelings turn to mud.

The nature of the spiders.

The hated lighting fires.

You've only seen a fragment of my mind.

Your webs are unaffected.

There is no exit path.

We pray that it isn't true.

Our nightmares are inside your dreams.

"You'll understand when I'm dead."

Only the Devil you could see.

As you were looking at me.

The spiders' webs all align.

As I live just to die!

Let's jump among the venom.

Take razor blades

To our warped smiles

Without my icy veins

There's no point for warmth at all

Your webs are unaffected.

There is no exit path.

We pray that it isn't true.

Our nightmares are inside your dreams.

"You'll understand when I'm dead."

I thought this was a very strong poem, and it was nice to something like that. I really liked these two lines "Only the Devil you could see./ As you were looking at me." I thought they really said a lot more about it.
