Cupid's Grudge

I feel sorry for you cupid had a grudge and gave your love to me he must have had a bad day too many broken hearts on the Richter scale he woke up tired (hung over) and sailed to Dallas Oak cliff, to a little house -top floor snuck in quietly disturbing the door He heard your prayers in empty rooms he had a grudge and made a chore of your love soon he convinced and prodded you - to my place of negative space empty and void, but charming my face, kind It’s a defensive smile a mask to believe for denial to deceive not of malice or evil intent but for love someone bent against my chest under my arm close consent to all I’m not He had a grudge to do you harm in empty rooms but still with peace some joy -and now your love is turned out unprotected obese I feel sorry for you I wouldn’t even love myself if I didn’t have to brush my teeth and my son, my son. He needs strength so I fake what I can steal the rest yes - He had a grudge the evil fairy but no one can stop the arrows thrust when we love we simply must
