Cupid's Poison

by Jenni Marie   Nov 12, 2009


Tears streaming from these broken eyes
No longer able to keep up this disguise
Wilting, slowly dying, whole world falling apart
Recognizing, I was shot with Cupid's poisoned dart

Tears me up inside every time I glance your way
Trying to keep the pain from becoming on display
Salty tears are pooling, lump forming in the throat
Anguish overwhelming, now beginning to choke

"Broken heart," always thought that phrase as a cliche
Now know otherwise, for the pieces have been thrown away
Not long ago everything was certain, now the future is unknown
Recalling how it was you I used to go to when I felt this alone

Ironic how so much was left unsaid, yet there's nothing left to say
Entire world collapsed when our relationship faded away
Pretending everything is okay, is slowly crippling me inside
Both know we could never be just friends, even though we've tried

If only we could go back to the beginning, back to the start
Even if it was only to avoid this unfixable heart
Because even though all of this is impossible to construe
The only thing that remains certain, is how much I love you
