Trap of the Heart

Mr. Black Spider, a web weaver you. Such a beautiful weaving, silken covered with dew. I being myself, admire your art. You being you, set a trap for my heart. You lure me with sweet words, sung to an old tune. I hum right along, as you sharpen your spoon. For I am your dinner, the feast that you want. The trap just grows tighter, come in dear you taunt. Isn't she a beauty, my lovely silk web? There's no reason to fear, just a few flies are dead. After all, we must have food, it seems perfectly clear. Just step into my parlor, don't doddle my dear. I've arranged for some bedding, where you might lay your head. Wrap you up in a blanket till you wish you were dead. After all, I'm a spider, this is just what I do. You're exactally the right size, for a nice spider stew. Your a sweet tender morsal, I selected the best. After all, I picked you out, from all of the rest. You should be happy, even grateful to me. Only I knew your weakness of the heart, don't you see? The story's an old one, meek verses strong. Just rest for a minute, sit, it won't take long. It's inevitable now, heart thrown to the fates The spell's almost over, your the poison awaits.

Additional Notes:
A snake is a snake, and a spider is a spider. Both bite.
