Me & the Spiders

If I ever lose you, I’d surely lose my mind

In the same way, I’d run out of candles

And let the flowers die

I’d live in a cabinet

Me and the spiders

And those spiders, they’d have no one there to kill ‘em

It was you who did the dirty work, the most alluring villain

Still walking barefoot, you and your scissors

I’d probably use those scissors and cut my hair

That thing you do when you feel blue or confident or scared

You still wind up pretty

I’d look like dog shit

Our dog would probably never leave the door

Sure he’d kiss my legs and bark and beg

But he’d never again be bored

Always a mission

“Where did my mom go?”

If I ever lose you, I’d surely lose my mind

I’d go back to school for quantum tools

Travel space and time

I’d shake your hand again

A little tighter

My hand would have no back to trace new shapes

I’d lay there cold, blankets folded, shake myself awake

Sure, I’d be breathing

But god I would hate it

But if I ever lose you, we’ll share a wrinkled smirk

It’ll be time to leave

But at least it’ll be the both of us in the dirt

Together as ashes

You & Me & The Spiders
