Spider

As you crawl across my skin

This fear overwhelms me again

I watch you crawl across my arm

How could something so small be any harm?

I'm sitting frozen in fear

As eight tiny legs crawl near

I think about swatting you

But fear freezes me is nothing new

I make little sounds because I'm afraid

I fear you'll bite me with poison you made

But eventually you crawl off my arm

I wonder if that was your charm?
