Stupid Cupid

Stupid Cupid his arrow didn't stick my heart it tore right through

 

it left a gaping wound that got infected by the likes of you

 

it took only seconds for the infection to spread

 

it moved from my heart to my stomach and head

 

I cannot think or speak in a normal fashion it feels insane

 

it is so obvious the infection has crept into my brain

 

it's in my stomach, it can't escape but it still tries

 

it doesn't hurt, just feels like I swallowed a dozen live butterflies

 

this infection of you has affected me more than I realize

 

the spring in my step, smile on my face and the twinkle in my eyes

 

when I refer to you as an infection, I want to put your mind at ease

 

I mean it in the most loving sense because you are my favorite disease

 

it's all Cupids fault everything turned out this way

 

next time I see him I'll have to thank him for his arrow gone astray
