You shot an arrow to my heart,
hoping it will ease the pain.

You pulled the trigger,
the bullet straight to my soul
hoping you'll see what's beneath me.

You put a knife on my body,
tracing the lines seen
hoping you'll get past through me.

What you didn't know,
I already felt worst
Numb just like a feather
Delicately falling from someone else's back.
Can life be anymore cruel?

You swore you'd never love again
That you'd hardened your heart
Stiffened the walls of the four chambered *****
That Cupid's arrow would bounce off
That no love could move these stiffened walls
Then...

... Now
Your palms cradle in his palms
Your head gently on his chest, ears counting his heartbeat
His fingers tracing love letters on your back
Eyes closed, savoring the images of him they've captured

Well, Well, Well...
Look who's all lovey dovey
loving and ****...
A spur of the moment piece. No title cause I don't think it needs one

Your tiny fingers stretch out the corners of my lips
I shoot out a smile

Love how cruel You are
You attempt
To show us that
Are obtainable
But never once showed us
The trouble we have to go through.
Never once did you
Show Me the amount of tears
And heart-ache that I have to face
Because of the little rush
Of Emotions
My cold heart felt.
Love, You are a cruel being.
Why can't you just strike us
With an invisible arrow,
To prevent the difficulty
Of finding "The one"
The difficulty of getting drunk
Off of lust.

She smelled of honey lemon and rose blossoms,
She had a soft and shy smile,
She held a scared look in her eye,
I knew as soon as I heard her laugh,
That I had been shot by an arrow,
An arrow held by a girl with who smelled of honey lemon and rose blossoms.

Even if you keep on dragging me back, pulling me down, I'll only keep on shooting up like an arrow towards the target.

Believe in yourself no matter how much life is trying to pull you down.

The arrow only
moves forward after it has
endured its restraint.
Arrows your choir.
Release.  
In come high soaring melodies
The air bathes in their aromas
A disguise for incoming piercings.

One strike upon the next.
Perseverance bleeds from every wound.
First it trickles
Now it pours.
When struck again
Please find my head or my throat.
Meg Howell Apr 2015
Like an arrow shot in the sky
the world has become a pool of obsolete people and danger
With nothing but useless words
bouncing back and forth
