Array ( [sid] => 33085 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Lost in the mind [time] => 2004-01-29 09:30:44 [hometext] => The mortal thoughts of a mind scorned by love. What does go through this mind when watching a spider dine. [bodytext] =>
I sit at night in candlelight and watch the spider dining
Sucking out the poor fly's juices, still the fly keeps whining
I watch with fright and great delight at this cruel pantomiming
As I sit beside myself in this apothecaries lining

Exquisitely your eyes do shine when rolled back into the water
Face down and floating, father finds his lone, beloved daughter
The sounds last heard in your mortal ears were mine own wicked laughter
You thought you loved me once my dear, but truly never after

Guillotine's blade drops so fast, your head lies in a basket
Eyes stare blankly, face still crying, lying in a casket
So swift, so fast, and in a flash, although my laughter masks it
I tried to crush your throat my dear, it proved too hard a task

Gunshot rings into the night, and still your feet keep slapping
I fire twice, I fire thrice, the city still keeps napping
Your body lies now in the gutter... life is draining, sapping
Your body never found again within the cities mapping

I cry myself to tears sometimes, when you are in my mind
I tried to kill myself to death, but in my head you shined
Pretty face and handsome eyes, no wrinkle yet has lined
Your voice still whispers in my head, among the gears that grind

The spider stopped, the fly a shell... arachnid now is fed
No longer moving, fly lies still, where it at once had bled
Like some eternal fuel you were, and I the fire fed
I should have listened to the words that you had always said.
