to_catch_a_spider
dafremen There are spiders
Equipped to appear as butterflies
That hide their fangs
Conceal their venom
Behind a patient smile
Behind thoughtful gifts
Behind their slippery lies

And there are butterflies
That wisely keep their distance
All the while insisting
That they're close as close can be
'Til they've almost convinced themselves
Still their hearts know better
Waiting carefully
They bide their time

Sometimes it takes awhile
To catch these hunters at their game
And what's a butterfly to do
But wait so patiently?
Even a clever spider thinks
They cannot move at all
That they are caught up by their wings
In the web of lies

A flash of fang is all it takes
Briefest glimpse of extra legs
With a predator's confidence
Abruptly changing form from what they seemed to be
It's then that butterflies take wing
Their hearts begin to scream
But there's no web at all

Only empty-bellied spiders
And soaring butterflies.

suicidalchinadoll over a year of pining after you.
and for a few hours, you made me believe that there was something left.

unfortunately I was wrong.
and you were apologetic.
but that doesn't change the fact that I've been lowered to the level of second choice.
the other girl.

I hate being the other girl...
and I can't catch you anymore

so I'll go curl up in my bed...
and slip into a fitful sleep


because I never should have let myself feel this way about you.
