I jumped
and watched as I fell on your web
your kiss melting off me
left wasting away on the line
I try not to struggle
pooling my strength
to break free and start anew
or grasp my dream again
or if all fails, to kill you
but I'm not strong
I can't do anything
and you know I'll be here
as you go on, unseen
leaving me
hanging
here, dangling within your reach
knowing your terrible beauty
as I've known nothing before
I find that I love you
too much to scream
