Cupid's Fallen Arrow

In just a few seconds it was supposed to hit. 

Flying gracefully in the air sure not to miss. 

It's heart shaped tip sent spiraling through the air,

causing much love to the couple it hits,

rendering them into an endless paradise, 

where only that couple exists. 

Allowing them to experience the endless joys of love. 

Except this time something went wrong. 

Cupid's arrow just plain dropped.

Dropped out of the air like a falcon on a dive, 

and hit the ground like a bomb from the sky. 

Just short of the couple that the arrow was supposed to hit. 

Yes, that's right cupid's arrow does miss.
