"Linger" The Cranberries Feb. 3, 2015

My ex-boyfriend dated a woman named Deb for a time. She was a maneater, though he never realized that. I still don't know if he ever got over her. But his thoughts lingered on her too often, and whatever she wanted from him she received.



Her luscious body
a knowingly lascivious
Trap for a man-boy

Arachne in jeans
Sticky silk snares a victim
She drains his essence

He spins in her silk
Spinnerets fashion another
Twisting spiderweb
