You’re like a spider
At my fingertips
Poisonous and silent
Crawling near me

You’re like a spider
Big yet small
Scary yet friendly
You choose the side

You’re like a spider
Making a web
Above my head
To stare at me

You’re like a spider
Scaring me at night
Wanting to give me nightmares
So cruel

You’re not like a spider
You calm me when I’m alone
You watch over me
Protect me

You’re not like a spider
Because I love you
And I care for you
Like you care for me

You’re not like a spider
Because everyone knows
You can’t be in love with a spider
Like I am with you
