Cupid's Arrow
Cupid’s Arrow
Cupid’s arrow has a flaw,
It always seems to fall short.
Love has teeth and claws,
And it isn’t a mere sport.
Cupid’s arrow has a flaw,
And it doesn’t cause love.
It seems to cause strife and makes us bawl,
It is most definitely not like a dove.
Cupid’s arrow has a flaw,
It seems to freeze a heart.
Perhaps not all,
But it tears mine apart.
Cupid’s arrow has a flaw,
I watch it gently nudge others into love.
For me it's like a saw,
Not a gentle shove.
Cupid’s arrow has a flaw,
Maybe one day he’ll set it right.
But for now I’ll avoid love’s jaw,
May the future be bright.
