Black Widow

I come from worlds where love and warmth are none, I seek the spark of life I've never won. I wear this human shape to draw you near, So you can come to me without a fear. I need this pulse, this pleasure, fleeting, true, It's all that keeps my endless self in view. I am the pull into the deep, A velvet touch where shadows sleep. I give you warmth, I leave the cold, I am the last, last secret left untold. You reached for light, you sank into the dark, You faded out, as if you'd left no mark. When I cross the line, the silence starts to fall, I'm left alone, and empty covers all. I never sought your ending, only life, I only sought a way to end my strife. The price you pay, the debt that you must bear, Is just the shadow of my own despair. I am the pull into the deep, A velvet touch where shadows sleep. I give you warmth, I leave the cold, I am the last, last secret left untold. You reached for light, you sank into the dark, You faded out, as if you'd left no mark. The hunger drives me on, I cannot rest, I slip away into the night, undressed Of all I took, a breath you'll never read, A shade, a stranger's touch, a foreign need. I take the warmth you gave and walk away, The hunt goes on, I chase a new flame's ray. I am the pull into the deep, A velvet touch where shadows sleep. I give you warmth, I leave the cold, I am the last, last secret left untold. You reached for light, you sank into the dark, You faded out, as if you'd left no mark.
