She moans and wails a ballad in service of her avarice

Draped in titular projections of status concealing over malice

Like a gem encrusted chalice but holds only poison for the palate

Espousing claims, feels she's owed for her misery must be atoned

Her throne of tangled woe and corpses old of who'd encroached

Black widow trapped in very web she wove, venom grows as she loathes

Ever more potent til better left alone, seeing any who approach as foe

Black widow the architect of the despair of her own as she sews
