I thought we were friends, true to each other. <br />I thought he was more than my own brother. <br />He was very kind to me, and I was even kinder. <br />He helped me a little and I was a better helper. <br />But when he didn't benefit from me any longer. <br />He turned his back on me just like any stranger. <br />I felt betrayed, forsaken, and pain was greater. <br />I wondered how fast he turned into a hater! <br />I wondered how he lived as a fabricator! <br />His life was false and he was so big a faker! <br />He could've been a friend, a man, not a traitor! <br />I wondered why he chose to be a killer spider. <br />Those falling in the net took him for a liberator. <br />Those surviving it knew he was a terminator. <br /> <br />9/8/2014<br /><br />Omar Osman Jabak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-spider-friend/
