He pushed his way into her life
with a wolf whistle and a nod
that her black and blue ego
couldn’t pas by.
With wedding banded permission,
handcuffs and a gag
he pushed her under
control, or so he thought until the

day he found her hanging in the corner.
Four walls caged the maddened creature.
Scarlet eyes and a red violin belly
made him fear keeping her
but even more so, he feared

her escape.  Warily he backed away
giving room for her downward climb.
His all consuming need to mate with her
overrode all caution and once down
he quickly pushed her to the bed,
forcing his way inside.  The beauty

was finally his.  Now if only he could push
away the memory of her eyes.
They haunted his light,
they haunted his darkness.
Nightmares pushed him
to the edge, and still he pushed

until he thought she cried
for more, and she did
but not for him, she cried
for the one before,
the one she left for the sake
of love. She never forgot.
She never forgave-she wasn’t with him
when he
died.

Aw, hon... this one packs too much truth to be anything but heartbreak written through a pen of pain. But yanno what? I'm still cheering for the prisoner (hairy though her legs might be *EG*) ... especially since black widow spiders are not without weapons of their own? *S*

Hauntingly horrific.I guess her days at home while he is at work are a rest, wow when he gets fired she may regret setting her first botfriend up then to?    I guess anything else she finds to mundane.
