Its frustrating to me That a man can hold so much power And make me feel so small And yet... loved. The delicate play Of manipulation Held me in an intricate web Of control. I don't miss Waiting in his web of lies And manipulation. Wondering if I was good enough, Tasty enough For his delicate and dominating sensibilities. If I didn't fit his fancy He'd find another To prey upon. Keeping me at the center Of his web Waiting, Claiming, I was his admired, Beloved. I was adored And should be elated. I saw the freedom Of this resilient spider- All of his eyes looking thirsty. Here I am- the main delight, Waiting in his nest. Funny how he went out searching for more When I've been here, Waiting for him to feast.
