Stumble

I see the spider crawling across my wall

Or do I?

I am lost in that fog-filled world again

Forever falling...

Yet I am no longer afraid

He scurries quickly to the corner, then up

And still I stare at the spot he crossed before

The daydream begins once more

Ah, there you are my love...

And still I am falling...

Your lips to play upon mine?

Your hands to warm my fevered flesh?
