Killing Spiders

I grit my teeth and bare it
The pain beneath the facade
A mother's love has gone so long
Empty
A dream, a hope, a lingering sense
An emptiness

There used to be laughter
Smiles between lovers
A hope, a dream, a goal
A promise unspoken
Then one day brought to light
The possibility of bringing it to life

The dream is played out for a 24 hour span
Lovers crossed in hopeless dreams
Hit with reality
A mother's love crushed
Her heart burdened, once again
Her life force bruised

Pain is shared
Tears are shed
Half a bed is left cold
And empty
Lovers become friends with a commitment
A night estranged from each other

Then out of no where
He kills a spider
To save me
And all is forgiven
For love
Just makes you smile like that

Please tell me what you think

    WOW... this is an eerily dark piece and all because you were afraid of the spider. Spiders are harmless and help keep the home tidy of other insects that could run wild about the home,lol
    GREAT POEM!!
