Black Widow
Jealousy is cruel, like a creeping Black Widow.
She preys on the weak, and takes pleasure in their pain.
Your cries fall silent, as you’re spun into her web.
Never letting go, every breath escaping you.
Crawling towards you, frozen in fear you can’t run.
Her bite is fatal, as poison consumes your mind.
She feasts on your soul, her fangs deep in your heart.
A venom so pure, only death will set you free.
