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
