What shall I do with the love that was meant for you
There's no one else in my life I want to give it to
You're the one I've needed, the one I thought who'd care
But time marches on and still again you're never there
We've each had our heartaches, our love has been tested
To me you were the spider and I was ingested
I'm deep in your belly, I can feel the acids
But you haven't seen it, to you my life seems placid
Each day is a struggle for me, I'm just the fly
Such a tangled web you weaved, but I refuse to die

Work like money doesn't matter, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching...

What the surfacing metaphors reveal are far deeper than merely a fantasy in the dark.

Very well conceived poetry.
