Black Widow

I’ll just sit here and stare

But stay

Be completely unaware

Please be the innocent flower

And I’ll be the serpent

For I often tire of being the victim

Lay close to me

Yet far away

You’re new and tender

Like a fresh bale of hay

But you’re failing me

Failing to make me smile

Failing to wear the frown

Failing to wear the crown

I’m joking
Along with what I say

I’ll call you my baby

Just for today

But when the sun descends

Hides behind the clouds

I’ll no longer be the one you found

The feigned smile will swiftly fade

Revealing slightly the sharpened blade

You’ll be maimed by explosion

Damaged by erosion

Of the sweet nothings that you imposed on

Thus there I’ll stand

Your final breath

Say you love me

And I’ll bite your neck
