Himeros's Arrow

It hurts when I see anyone but me
But he's just so nice to look at!
"You're being territorial
Over someone who shouldn't matter!" 

"You think he is- pretty? Is that all?"
He is! But it's not that,
It feels like a dopamine rush.
"But hasn't this been making you sad?" 

Himeros's arrow, it's gotta hurt!
"So you're gonna blame him then?"
Well, it's not like I'm falling intentionally!
"You're saying you can't conceal?" 

I used to think it was a choice,
I'm trying but I can't choose.
I can't tell who's the witch-
I really wish I could. 

"That is a very, very bold claim!
If you say you're under a spell,"
Either that or I'm obsessed-
This isn't healthy, I can tell. 

It feels like a myth, a fantasy-
Maybe even just a concept,
"It is the idea that you created
There's no harm, cling to it" 

I'm losing myself completely in the
'What is' and 'what I want it to be'
Cord-cutting has crossed my mind,
I feel emotionally claustrophobic. 

What's gonna happen, will, eventually-
Universe, synchronicities and virtue.
Venus says nothing's wrong for the one,
"We'll see where the fire takes you".
