My Pet Spider

My pet spider loves me
He loves to nest in my hair
Crawl down my face
Over and across my chest
His legs leave marks
His teeth nip and pierce
Digging in
Grasping ahold of my skin

The thing is that no one else can see him but me
They ask why I'm crying
Scratching my skin
Pulling my hair
Gnashing my teeth
I say simply say
Oh, it's him again

My pet spider loves me
His name is Anxiety
And he never leaves
