Black Widow Spider



Tangled in your web

Was it inspired by love or deceit?

Are you harmless?

Or are you a cheat?

Did you lure me here under false pretences?

Is this the real thing?

Is this true love?

I have my doubts

A sense of uncertainty

I have been misled before

And I don’t want to be hurt any more

So if you practice deceit

I will spit in your eye

Make you pay for your lies

But what if you love me?

Should I commit myself wholeheartedly

And risk everything

There is no point complaining

I am caught under your spell

I read that the black widow spider

Feeds on her mate

Perhaps I should cancel our dinner date?
