Hurting Cupid: Bruised Love

Two years ago, the first time I saw you,
and you were as beautiful as the morning dew.

I saw you sleeping on a couch,
and my heart skipped a beat beyond any doubt.

I held myself for a moment to think,
for my past was dark and floating in ruins.

But I took a chance again,
and expressed those feelings, and just how I felt.

You looked into my eyes and gave a nod,
then took my hands to approve my thoughts.

It was a beautiful moment etched in time,
and we were ready to explore the road to a wonderful life.

We were cute and bright like shining stars,
we were so intoxicated that we never saw the dark.

But the fate had to open up my scars,
as this world separated us from each other’s arms.

Don’t know why life plays a fool out of me?
and why it always takes away the love I need?

Now that we are far away, living a lie,
we want closure but can’t escape the life, we always denied.

Don’t know what the future has in store for us?
I know we will still move on, for time is the ultimate healer.

My heart will ache till the last breath,
wish I could go back to block that arrow of the hurting Cupid.
