Lights, camera, action!
The flashes begin,
My heart beats just a fraction,
These nerves move beneath my skin.
I can never let them see
The agony within,
My lips form a silent plea,
And my world starts to spin.
It’s that time of the year,
The time of laughter and love,
To me, it is perfectly clear.
Love to me is an innocent dove.
So far, far away,
Completely out of my reach.
Any contact I find is too quick to stay
“Love at first sight” is just a figure of speech.
Does Cupid’s arrow hate me so
That any love I find never works?
Why would life deliver such a blow,
Please, tell me, what are the perks?
Cupid, do you hate me?
Do you despise my soul?
Why can I not be free?
Why is my heart turning black as coal?
Love is a trivial thing,
Lost in spirit, in way.
Cupid’s arrow hits and always stings
Because love, for me, never stays.
