Cupidity

Just dumbstruck 
with your love, 
Just numbstruck 
by you 

My cup is full 
of Cupidity 
Overflowing
with you 

And I'm all lovesick with stupidity 
Struck down by you and your invisible arrows
I swallow my medicine with humility
Your potion is all I need to sustain me
So, I bend my pride and my knee
I swallow my nerves and pray when I say,
"Will you marry me?"
