Bow and Arrow

On your back, you carry a bow and arrow You look at me, your eyes grow narrow Frozen, I do not dare move where I am stood Those piercing blues, tell me who would? Ask me how many times before I have been rendered glued to the floor Raising it to the level of my heart Praying this time it won’t rip me apart Last time it took me nearly a week And two days before I could speak Thirty minutes to clean off the stain Of the last time I fell in love, oh the pain You can’t resist your devilish trips I keep my eyes fixed on those lustrous lips I whisper, ‘show me what you’ve got’ Your eyebrow raises, this is a surprise I thought Lowering the bow, letting the arrow drop to the ground You come walking over, my heart starts to pound Grabbing my face you give me a long tender kiss ‘Well’ I say ‘At least this time you wouldn’t miss’
