Black Widow

 

My spoiled heart beats out of rhythm

A wilting flower, perishing under the sun

Plunged into a river of deceit

Plummeting into the abyss

 

My trust betrayed, severed bonds

Resting in the belly of the beast

Swallowed whole by her lies

Piercing my back so very deep

 

My love lies to waste in her barren heart

A moonless night, a black hole

Sucking away my weakened resolve

The web within holds me taut  

 

The spider seeks my sweating flesh

Injecting venom, the lies be told

She tastes my soul, sweetest nectar

Sucking dry, I become hollow

 

She is the deceiver, the spider, the sinner

I opened my arms, I closed my eyes

Blinded by her clever disguise

Baited by empty promises

 

Fly away, I wish to try

Held fast by her seductive dance

I lie in wait for impending darkness

For her to devour my final breath

 

Where art thou my little angel?

I desperately call out to the

My final hope in this hour of death

Whisk me away upon your wings

 

Come for me quickly, my beloved queen

Vanquish the spider that threatens

Cut these threads that hold me aloft

I will forever be in your debt

 

Take me to the promise land

In your heart where I find peace

An enchanted forest, a garden so sweet

Where I rest my head and sleep in harmony

First off, at the risk of whatever I'm risking by saying so, you are fast becoming one my absolute favorite writers.
I was riddled with absolute chills under the influence of imagery in the first stanza. This is gorgeous. There is so much passion in the secondstanza that it is on the verge of being virtually unharnessable.

This is mortifyingly enchanting, as I feel trapped in the web of it, carried away unable to find the ground with my feet. I feel the exposure of a heart being devoured by a "vampirical" love Absolutely gorgeous.
