The Widow (Free verse) by e1ementfire
The internal driver
Was the spider
That lived inside her
She always called herself a fighter
Until the Widow had to bite her
Now she sleeps on the streets
Between thin, filthy sheets
Somehow she keeps peace
Down deep she thinks at least
"I had my day in the Sun"
The same day that some
Try to run from
But she can't see what she's become
After years she's grown numb
Of being so stunned
By her picture in the puddle
Trouble covered her face
So slow and so subtle
As she cuddles and cowers in the rain
Burdened by the pain
Of the Spider that lives inside her
