Eros

Your golden arrows pierced my heart Is this a curse or an answer to my pleas? Maybe this is amusing to you, turning me into Echo Laughing at me from above, as I repeat sweet praises to him Watching him from afar Knowing that if I take one more step further, our world will collapse Why did you do this to me, oh sweet Eros? Did I do something to cause your wrath? Is there a reason for my suffering? Why am I cursed to forever love a man who will never love me? The arrow, that curse that pierced through my heart, is still there I cannot pull it out, I cannot get rid of it no matter how much I try This painful, stabbing heartbreak that is so intoxicating, so addicting Will it always linger and fester until my demise, until I shatter along with my heart? I listen to him list out his flaws My only thoughts being; “I love you, every single part of you Don’t you see what I see?” I’ll always be there for him, admiring him from afar Telling him my truths, my poetic tributes Until I disappear and only the echo of my voice will be left Whispering my love for him from far off
