Of Gods and Arachnids

by @witheredwings

As it trickles down my heart, I recognize you, a prime type of an Arachne, How you roll your eyes, look down on me All while it slowly drips onto the floor As I frantically try to escape from the spun lines Try to fight the inevitabilty of time, Look around to try to sow the pieces You see me as a rare being, a rare God And like Petrichor my blood pools beneath me you watch while I try to slip between threads watch while I make the bleeding worse Trip on my own mistakes and choices As I get stuck in the spiderweb of Fate, You prowl and see my heart deteriorate See the Petrichor beneath me on the floor I see you for what you are And as I fail to get out of your spun lies and deceit You advance and your poison is in my veins Spills out through my wounded heart And you?                           You eat me just the same.
