Black Widow

A tangled web of lies and deceit, Twisted and formed by the havoc you wreak. From the trail of hearts you left in the dust. To the open wounds, unseen and unjust. Your words, your love; an infectious cancer, Singing your false words, elegant like a dancer. Never taking the time to gaze into your mirror, Evaluate yourself, reflect on your fears. Stop to figure out why you inflict such cruel pain, In lieu of seducing and staking your claim. Step out from behind the lives and the lies, Show your true form, no more disguise. You are nothing more than a common Black Widow, Devouring all you can before being consumed by your shadow. Left alone in your tangled web of deceit, Forever in the darkness, not a soul to hear you weep.
