Cupid's Love (Poison)

Rivers will flow and the wind will continue to blow
Always leaving each other be

Again and again, does the river havoc my envy
“In time,” I say to myself, “I will become thee”
And forgive this wind for blowing so cold
In these frost bitten days...

Cupid threw me his arrow in times long gone
“Pick your love soldier, let your bitterness be!”
What is it that could go so wrong?
O the deception eternal love did have on me

A baby girl, and perhaps a brave boy
A perfect family with a perfect father
Don’t you see?
It is any young man’s idea of ecstasy

I clutched the heart encrusted arrow
And let an amber arrow fly
Piercing through the corridors of her heart
Leaving its poison behind so effortlessly
You, beautiful eyes, will be mine forever

I took a second look at the eyes of my victim
Such purity, I could see right into her soul
An avalanche had reined fury upon me
My blood blackened and my heart stiffened
Ever so painful was this guilty despair.

“What do you care?”
“Is eternal love not good enough for you?”
“You’d think you were made of stone”
“Why do you mortals have to be so rude?”

Her eyes were that of the clearest sky
What a beautiful window did I gaze through
With the hands of a thief did I extend that cursed bow
Selfishly pocketing the soul’s beautiful glow

“Yes cupid, for I am a being of moral stone”
“For never will I love an infected, seduced
lifeless, thoughtless drone”
“That your love arrow had so wrongfully sewn!”

“Oh? A moral man?”
“Ha-ha, humans will never stop lying to themselves”

Damn you Cupid
And damn your spell
And damn my selfishness
And damn that day guilt spawned within my veins

And what do I get in return?
Punishment? Condemnation? Perjury?
How I would love for those.
You know not what a guilty conscience bears

Always seeking me she is, never leaving me
Eternally forgiving, incapable of blaming me
So unaware of her heart’s treachery
She will always seek to satisfy me

Since that day I have wandered off
slowly icing my heart
Until the day comes when it shall shatter
And I’ll have found my ecstasy

Our love is eternally loyal you see
Forged on Earth to never cease
We cannot forget of one another
nor age any longer

Time has become but a river to us
You are just water to fill the otherwise empty void
Flowing down your path in and out of each torrent
Relentless and unsatisfied do you always seem
Always seeking to control time’s current

And above you, there I will forever be
A brittle leaf blowing and tearing
A victim to the wind’s eternal brutality
Observing the rivers of possibilities and opportunities
Trickle down the mountains, through valleys and trees
And finally forming their way into the final sea
A place, I cannot be
