Love & Spiders 10
I am me and nothing more
And I can’t help I am the lure
The flies do come seeking my light
Even though I’m cloaked in night
So flies have come and I have lied
And flies have loved me and all have died
Until the one who found my heart
And the darkness she tore apart
She gave her heart and soul that day
She looked at me and not away
I love you, she said to me
I am yours if you want me to be
I looked into eyes glistening with tears
And my heart opened and gave up its fears
She sang, I will love you for all time
I will love you and make you mine
And the fly she came to me
And gave me love and made me see
She made me strong… she made me brave
She gave me a love I would die to save
She gave everything, gave it all to me
And I lost sight of what I wanted to see
Her beautiful love I started to use
And my beautiful fly I started to abuse
She held me close and I pushed her away
I said I didn’t love her many a day
And she would cry and I would soar
And the beast inside it started to roar
And I cannot leave the fly alone
As it’s the very thing I wish to own
So I push away something I love
And the tighter she holds the more I shove
I feel mighty as she breaks down
And her crying is the only sound
Until the second that she turns away
Then I scream I love you this day
She is happy and singing with joy
She is my love… she is my toy
Now her kisses are soft and sweet
And she makes my soul complete
She loves me like nothing I’ve known
She loves to make me sigh and moan
And when I have taken what she would give
I say, she must leave and so I can live
Because my love is a fleeting glance
And she had and lost her chance
And now she cries and now she screams
How can I hurt her and be so mean
Outside I laugh… inside I cry
I could tear her down if I wanted to try
I am more alone when you are here
Go away I don’t need you near
I watch her crumble to her knees
Now she begs and now she pleads
Remember the way we used to be?
Remember when you loved me?
I turn from her and look away
Time is now and nothing to say
I want her love as mine to take
I only want her for my own sake
And I love her, but I hate her to
And I am empty… what do I do?
She is mine and I don’t share
And lose her love I don’t dare
But there are others I want to see
And I am hungry and need to feed
The warmth of her hand I shiver again
Anguish engraved in her beautiful skin
Nothing will be avoided this day
I turn to her and hear her say
I would rather die than see you with another
I would rather die as your one true lover
Without your love I am already dead
My heart knows just not my head
So take my love and life from me
So inside you I will forever be
And she bared her neck so divine
And my fangs… finally made her mine
Now she is gone and I’m alone
The greatest love I’ve ever known
I am the blackest of love and desire
I’m a beautiful Black Widow Spider
