Black Widow
I was trying to get you
As I paddled through
a flooded forest,
with snakes and spiders
whose bites could kill...
I didn't care.
when I made it back
onto dry land,
I lost a fake friend
in a parking lot
over a VW bug.
mostly because
i dont know who I am
but i know who i am not.
I didn't see it slipping,
I was too busy trying to get to you.
I sat alone
inside that bug
nursing spider bites,
drying my shoes,
and watching everyone walk away.
mother nature leaned down
and whispered to me, "It's Ok"
And that's how I knew...
that i would never get to you.
