Black Widow


There I was trapped in the spider’s parlor
Entangled in her web stuck fast it seemed
Mesmerized by her eyes unable to break free
Waiting to be devoured in a hopeless net
Frantically twitching and jerking despairingly
All my wits exhausted no way out do I see
When I first was invited in
It was like a dream come true
So innocent too like a spot of tea
I was so happy to be paralyzed by her charm
Excited and so careless was I
None was more beautiful then she
But this beautiful creature was full of venom
And a bite full of hateful regret
She took everything in life from me
