Truth be told
'Twas the night
Like Juliet and Romeo
The spider and cockroach
Made their pact
Against life's harshness
To drown themselves.
Next morning
In the water glass
On the nightstand
The spider was found.
In the cat's water bowl
Floated the bush cockroach.
We'll never know for sure
What pushed them
To choose death over life
Only the knowledge
Life sometimes throws barriers
Too tall to climb
Who are we to judge?
