I Didn'T Do It

“Who broke my heart, eh?”
The question which I address
to the sly cupid.
He hides hands behind his back,
smiling: “I didn’t do it.”

Heartbreak from arrows loosed in the wind. Cast into eternity, that void in which love sadly ends.. Superb Tanka my great friend, god luck in the contest.
