Poetry | Black Widow
Black Widow,
You've stolen my heart,
Taken me apart,
Black Widow,
You've rendered me from side to side,
Trapped me in a web of love and hate and lies...
I met you,
You loved me,
You said we'd always be,
Together.
Then you sprung the trap,
Showed me the belongings,
Of all the men
You'd had before...
You took from me,
All I ever gave to you,
You ate me up,
In one go.
You spun a silken web,
Caught me up in the heat,
Of the moment,
I was slain.
Chorus
Darkness envelopes,
Hides the truth,
I was blind,
To reality.
Caught like a fly,
Ready for the eating,
I hope I was,
A gormet.
So black widow,
Onwards to more,
Maybe I should warn
Your willing slaves?
Heart torn from within,
Broken body and soul,
You'll just spin your web,
Once again...
Black Widow,
You've stolen my heart,
Taken me apart,
Black Widow,
You've rendered me from side to side,
Trapped me in a web of love and hate and lies...
Spun a web,
Taken me in,
Trapped me in a web of love and hate and lies...
Trapped me in a web of love and hate and lies...
