The Web Above My Window
I thought we’d make it
I sure thought we would
And we probably could’ve if we only would’ve stood
Together, united by our finger tips
Instead of just watching the blood drip
Like paint
From our empty hands
Holding nothing
When once we held something
We once held eachother
But all is lost
The fatal blow always has its cost
And best believe you delivered
You are the creepiest crawliest thing to have slithered
Out from your den beneath the weeping and withered
The edge of your blade splintered
When you stabbed me in the back
And now part of you is part of me
You have always been what I lack
I wept while you laughed
It was all a spit in my face
I kept your pace
I ran your race
And you still disappeared
No matter what I feared
I always feared you most
I’m nothing to boast
But I did my very best
For you and you alone
Made me scared of every shadow
This house was never my home
Together we rolled in our shady meadow
You were the spider yet you left me the widow
The one trapped inside their own web above my window
I always tried to be more than just a fly on the wall
But swatted me down and watched me fall
You just couldn’t bare to watch me go through withdrawal
You just dunked my head in the toilet in the bathroom stall
Then threw me up against the mirror on the wall
And grew as a person because of it
Your soul grew in size because of my pain
But it only became a deep, dark pit
And I wash you from my skin like a dirty stain
I rid myself of you
And all that you do
Goodbye to you
Goodbye
