Black Widow

She held him like a priceless vase Gently, lovingly in her arms The promise of love for eternity Was said without words He held her tightly As if she were a dream That was about to vaporize He loved her dearly. Her eyes searched his for doubt But none could be found She knew she brought out the best in his weakness Total submission was her prize He worked hard to gain her affection Returning home late, exhausted But forcing himself the extra mile To posses her, to make love to her, his dream While he slaved at work she kept the house Entertaining gentleman callers Lustfully spending his love without indiscretion And denying him at his tenacious appetite He returned home early to find her Joyously overwhelmed by her male covertness He remembered how hard he fought to keep her from Her expulsion to her home country She knew her fate, it was sealed in time She ran after him but the deed was done It took a moment and they took her in exile to be deported Her regret trickled down her cheeks as the taste of her fruits matured
