Black Widow Spider Poem by Keith Foley

Black Widow Spider

Rating: 4.8


Black widow spider deceptive as can be,
embracing you in her arms while sucking life from thee.

Black widow spider keeps you close by her side,
now stripped of happiness, hope and pride.

Black widow spider pretends to be your friend,
if your with her very long, your life will never mend.

Black widow spider takes what she can,
leaves you worse than she found you, now your half a man.

Black widow spider smiles her pretty smile,
your poisioned by her beauty, entangled in her vile.

Black widow spider wraps you in her legs,
takes you down with her, to the deepest dregs.

Oh how cunning and deceptive, this one can be,
as she laughs her little laugh, while pulling your soul from Thee!

Please check your grammar before you post. After all, if writers can’t use the right words, then who can? You used “your” (denoting something belongs to you) instead of “you’re” (describing that you are...) a few times. Just like with “their”, which means “they” own something/something belongs to them, vs. “they’re” which indicates ‘they are’.
