Kiss of the Spider Woman
Location
Fortress of fabric
She says come in
Her eyes glisten with magic
She knows I can’t win
My mother warned me about enchanted women
Spiders in their hearts, be careful or you’ll be bitten
Her wild black hair
Patched up skirt and bracelets that sing like bells
The crisp autumn air
Was not the only one casting spells
Her bony finger beckoning me closer
Chills race down my spine, shivering all over
A dance of secrets
She knows things I have yet to find out
Calling on spirits
She is dangerous, without a doubt
Her beauty is suffocating, taking me alive
She draws me closer, fire in her eyes
Your future comes with a price
How badly do you want to know?
You should think twice
But her fangs are deep in me, and the venom starts to flow
Face to face, her eyes bore into mine
My foolish lips meet hers, and I know it is unwise
Vivid images dance before my very eyes
Marriage, a home, children, a beautiful sunrise
A strange feeling in my gut, our souls intertwine
Panic seeps through my pores, but I cannot run or hide
She smiles, her dance is almost complete
She breaks our kiss and I fall to my knees
The spider's we is spun
She's had her fun
I've seen my future
But i'll never live it.
