If I ever plead,
chop me off at the knees
so I cannot kneel
and beg for you to stay with me.

If I ever cry,
put spiders in my eyes
so their webs will kill my sight,
to hold a drink of tears and light.

If I ever pray,
throw me to the day
so I'm forced to see the crowds
of questions there repaid, renowned.

If I ever love,
strike me from above.
Lightning bolt away
so with you I will join and stay.

Well, I even have a spider pendant I always wear, so I can see how that might happen.

Thanks, wranx. (hey, that rhymes!)

Now quit that this instant! Though I know you quit that moments after writing it.

Go watch No Such Thing. Aside from the ending, it was soooo good, and it's cute enough to snap any bad mood.
