Tarantula

deep in the shadows of your deepest secrets i sleep next to the precepts you hold most dear your heart is in my province hour upon hour i shiver when you feel the cold, everything you say i hear like a bomb and its fuse, we bring bright light but i could be a devil to you i could bite like a tarantula right through the skin and leave my poison dripping deliciously unsuspecting protecting you from all harm except perhaps from these arms that hold you
