Black widow


She looked out into the horizon, but saw no ship.
She sighed then went inside her little cabin.
She missed her lover dreadfully.
He went out to sea with his ship and crew, it was only suppose to be a week.
Only he's been missing for a month.
She carefully sits down in her rocker and sits back.
She spots the poison bottle on the dinning room table.
She gets up and opens the little thing.
She puts a little bit in the bottom of her cup.
She drinks it fast and quick.
She feels her lungs close and she drops to the ground with a heavy crash.
If only she looked again into the horizon she would have spotted the little ship coming in.
A little ship with a perfect man at the helm smiling happily.
Excited to see his pregnant wife.
