--------------- WEBS OF TIME ------------------ I sat among the dust and webs of time And loathed myself with every passing chime The spider was my friend at last My fear of him had long surpassed We shared a space as life's outcasts I held on to what little life I had Day after day barefoot and nightgown clad I'd watch him dangle in the air I'd rest in my reclining chair Yet, no one cared that we were there An unlocked door, but no one ever came I scuffed from room to room so lost and lame We knew our days were near their end I cried with every poem I penned Sharing crumbs with my spider friend Then one cold day, I found him stiff and dead I held him in my grasp and went to bed In deepest sleep I chose to be Escaping lonely agony Hand in hand..my spider friend and me mutington(Joyce) |

I could relate (well, except to the spider part because I'm still afraid of them). I liked the format of this one too. |
