If you have ever fallen prey

To cupids careless arrow

You know such love can only bring

Not happiness, but Sorrow

I was hit fast, I dove in deep

In what I couldn’t fathom

Unknowingly free-falling through

A deep uncharted chasm

My heart was filled with burning flames 

And drowned in deep emotion

I dwelled upon him everyday

With biblical devotion

My heart beguiled by lustrous charm

Fell in the deep unknown

Only to find a empty base

And I, there all alone

Foolish was I, for late I learned

My love was unrequited

For unto someone else I found

His heart he had committed

The fire that burned intensely simmered

To a vacant glow

So not a single way out

Could it’s feeble lighting show

If you have ever fallen prey

To cupids wistful arrow

A fellow victim will attest

To joy after the sorrow

For thus began my forced attempt

To mend the broken heart

so that someday when time is right

True love will it impart

So if you’re ever targeted

To cupids clumsy arrow

Be keen to dart or stoop and thus

You’ll spare yourself the sorrow
