We have seen the jealousy
We have heard of all the tragedy

Callous Cupid
Laughing at the top
As he shoots you down

Mischievous mysteries
Mere mortals
Fading, twisting

Selfish, hurting
Chaotic wonder and addiction
Sickly adoration – so unnatural

And he twirls and leaps and prances
Cloud to cloud
Bubbling with laughter
While the world burns beneath him.

She is terrible
Compelling, painful
My heart is full to bursting

But hers is exploding
As she drowns
So she erupts and flies to him
He who is always fleeing,
Always mocking and tormenting

Itching to be free
Cannot escape her bonds
She falls
And no one tries to catch her.

They watch
She is falling
They watch
She is hurting
They watch
She is dying
They watch.
