Black Widow

He walked with a swagger like I'd never seen

His hat was tilted to the side, his suit was keen

His lips curled into a smug smile

He asked me to sit and talk for awhile

He whispered, I blushed, and took his hand

The first time I had been close to a man

 

There was a kiss, a peck on the lips

He stroked my hair with soft fingertips

I had begun to feel a little sick

Every move he made was so slick

I soon would know it was all a hoax

But I couldn't resist his persuasive coax

 

The days dragged by like years on end

Every color in my sight began to blend

All things turned dark and gray

When he let go of my hand that fateful day

There were tears, and endless pain

I swore I'd never love again

 

Now the sweetness of his lips is sour

And sometimes I sit counting the hours

I wait for another boy to come my way

And maybe I'll sit and talk for a day

Because now that my expectations are low

I have become the black widow

This is actually about the first guy I ever loved, your classic highschool sweetheart.
