Analysis of Wolf Spider



As seductive as a spider,
you invite me into your web.
As ignorant as a fly,
I move into it, towards you.
The web holds me closely,
away from you.
As I realize
the thing that binds me to you,
keeps me from you,
I struggle for release.
But you spin more web,
strengthening your grip on me,
holding me tightly at a distance.
Never letting go,
never letting me near,
until I am desiccated by you,
and left an empty shell.
