Missed Mark

A slender arrow launched from a white bow
carrying engravings of gold and
fletched with the feathers of the Seraphs
stood at attention with it's head
buried in my chest.

A sigh passed my lips, as Cupid's poison
flooded my senses, heart racing
nervous anticipation, thirsty;
a furnace of newly realized passions,
the pilot dying as I yanked the arrow free.

Experience keeps me from Cupid's flights
of fancy leaving me with a content heart
an old arrow, and a hole in my shirt.

This was an anti-love poem I wrote as part of an assignment for a creative writing class. I'm not really sure how I feel about it.

I was extremely anti-love for a long time and for all of the wrong reasons. It had to do more with me growing up and not being a jerk more than it did with any opposition to love. Now I guess I would classify myself as "open to love" (I almost wrote "open for love" but that makes me sound like I'm soliciting people. :ohnoes: :D)

:lmao: nice one

i don't know what it is with me. i'm pro love, as in helping your fellow humans out, friend/family love you know? i think the world needs a whold heck of a lot more of it. but when it comes to relationship love...i'm real suspcious of it. :P
