Oh you itsy bitsy spider
Who wrapped around my soul
Took my feelings for a joyride
And stuffed me in a hole

So many things you did
So many ways you made me hurt
Wrapped your voice around my heart
And dragged me through the dirt

I could say it wasn’t your doing
Tell you a million and one lies
But in the end it wasn’t my fault
You held the wool over my eyes

I’m trying to move on now
To purge you from my mind
To take the lessons I learned from us
And leave you far behind
Cuddle up and get some rest
Ignore the pain inside your chest
Though doubt plagues your aching heart
Promise him you’ll never part

Let him feed you broken lies
Empty promises and severed ties
Make him happy is what you’ll do
He says he’s afraid of losing you

He’s like a dog fresh off the ****
He’s happy that he broke your will
Through widened eyes and pouted lips
He distracts as he travels past your hips

Pretend he sends your form aquiver
All while your soul will start to shiver
And as he sleeps there in your bed
Pretend that running doesn’t run through your head

Though you escaped and made it through
You can’t get back what he took from you
And though you’ve left him far behind
He’s never really off your mind
How can one be so spiteful
Do I fill you with regret
Do you really miss the fighting
Or just how I let you share my bed

Nobody knows the poison
Of a deadly widow’s bite
How they **** out all of your energy
And leave you with a blight

You bullied me into forever
Used me like a tool
Took me without consequence
And treated me a fool

Lied to my companions
Spouting an accusatory tone
Told them I was straying
Because I no longer was a drone

You don’t want a love that’s true
You thrive on self infliction
You keep stirring up my life
Because you like the friction

I’m not sorry that I broke them
The promises I made
When one as pitiful as you
Tried to make me afraid

You don’t control me anymore
Yet you still won’t leave me alone
How don’t you get that I’m better now
That I’m not pretending you’re my home

— The End —
