she looks unassuming and harmless
she looks unassuming and harmless
this is one of her super powers
she has buried two husbands and three boyfriends
none of them in the same state
she is beautiful with deep Bambi eyes
men fall in love with her fast and often
she was burned by one man, whom she has never forgotten
while engaged to her, he married her cousin two days before the wedding
breaking her heart, and breaking her integrity
He never thought she was fully his
but she was
She is dressed to the eights right now
sitting in a bar in Long Island, waiting for her prey
she snatches them up into her cozy web
They fall in love with her fast and hard
Ending their lives earlier than they ever intended
Will she be caught?
Probably not
She moves quickly and stealthily
Decisive and diabolical
black widow at one time, gray widow now
