A Spider's Tale (2)
I'm disgusted by my petty lies,
which I use to fish for flies.
My honest face is a lure,
which to their nerves is a perfect cure.
They do not seem to mind my dead eyes,
oh my pretty, foolish flies.
Would my mate still have me, I wonder,
if they knew that I loved her:
that one lovely fly I let away,
who visits me everyday?
