Black Widow

by Mr. Darcy   Jul 21, 2008


(A Collaboration with Spoken Silence)

Venom

Torture crawls and scrapes its claws,
through my dampened corridors.
Each lonely passage stinks of flesh,
a labyrinth of echoed death.

Steel my darkness; absorb it's pain,
syringe despair just like cocaine.
Hooked by your spell and through my heart,
you scored my veins with kisses tart.

Liquid regret sucks from my skin,
seeps through the dungeon deep within.
Living, dying, dead existence,
shallow stone, sinking resistance.

Antidote

You said your heart was my true gift,
but through blue eyes I sensed a mist.
I saw behind your two-faced mind,
your scheme to rape clearly defined.

Etched realisation chilled my soul.
How could your love be lifeless coal?
Was evilness pursed on your lips
with every single deadly kiss?

Did you desire to burn disgust,
upon man's love with poisoned bust?
Or is there somewhere deep within,
a piece of love wrapped in thin sin?

Reprisal

Your eyes were blank, no love lived there.
An empty book, full of blank stare.
So now I write my final note,
To tell you my love is revoked.

A heart like yours has only hate.
A sprite disguised with angel bate.
No longer will your tricks deceive
and leach the energy from me.

So read these words from me to you,
our love is dead so we are through.
My heart's immune to your black spell,
your love returned to rot in hell.

    Some forced rhyming in this one, but for the most part, it flows well. An interesting read.

    I really admire this piece. It was well defined. I loved how you titled it the "black widow" and used some of the same symptoms that the black widow has....well...some of the feelings perhaps. I felt the hatred in this write but i also felt the desperate love as well. Not a i-need-you-so-bad kind of love but a i-loved-you-and-you-lost-me kind of love. A realization love if you will. A powerful poem indeed and i loved reading it. As always your work is never a waste of my time and thank you very much :)
    I've hit a writers block and haven't been doing much writing...although i did write a piece about a love an older couple shared...very touching lol
    i'll post it soon (if i can find it lol)
    thanks again
    keep up the good writing
    Always,
