Go Ahead Take the Fall

When Cupid comes with arrows he goes straight for overkill  
and for this tender type of ailment well there is no magic pill 
you have to join the cherubs as they clang their cymbals loud 
for Valentine's Day is a day for passion, and for losing crowd 

A room full of candles with hearts that are dipped in light 
Valentine bonbons and sweetened kisses taking flight  
lips of rouge and tender whispers, lovers everywhere 
there is no gender when we parachute, without a care  

February moments, red ribbon wraps on diamond rings  
long proposals on bended knee Sinatra croons and sings
magic spells and velvet nights in love commissioned souls 
releasing the splendor of this special day we sappily enroll

When Cupid aims and shoots with bow and golden tip 
you have no other choice but to take that nectared sip   
come join the celebration heed the writing on the wall   
Valentine is a day for loving so go ahead, take the fall .

If cupid is blind then he must have abnormally great sixth sense. Thank you for reading S.O.
