Love's Victim

Hidden there,
Colder than air,
dry and bare.

Run and hide,
You cannot cry,
You are too full of pride.

Fate is above us all,
Destiny among us all,
Humanity gone forever,
Kindness hidden,
Cruelty exposed.

I cannot open the wound,
But I cannot hide the scar,
I can face it with shame,
Fear could also be there,
But I kept getting told,
Embrace it with pride,
How? It is not part of me.

The stars agree with me,
The moon agrees with those kindred spirits,
The sun urges me to make my own path,
Choose my fate,
Create my own destiny,
Walk alone,
Surrounded by demons,
I run and hide, the angels watching,
I cannot face them.
My destiny is written in the stars,
And fate is controlling it with malicious glee,
And now I realise death is merciful and always on our side,
Love is the enemy, full of cruelty,
I hide myself,
Stupid cupid,
Forget it I say and push him away,
Then I see my soul,
In another body,
Pathetic Eros has come back,
Stupid cupid has hit me with his arrow,
I am victim to love.

I try to fight it,
But love is stronger than any other foe,
With more strength than a god,
Yet a subtle as a whisper,
I am swept by it down to my doom.

Love is simple,
Yet it is so complicated,
Falling for an assassin would be easier,
I am an oddity,
A fallen angel,
I fit nowhere,
I fall everywhere,
I am unique and I know it,
The gods tell me to stand out,
I say blend in.

Nobody can hide from stupid cupid’s piercing arrow,
A low bass note echoes off the empty chambers of my heart,
Low and mourning,
I wander among the halls,
They used to be so full,
Filled with determination,
Love,
Passion,
Empathy,
Sympathy and freedom,
Now all I can do is twist minds with my words.

I am not strong,
I have an invincible barrier to my heart,
But my soul remains unchecked,
Love has crept above the walls and shot me again and again,
To what effect though,
All it ends in is pain, suffering, misery and heartbreak.

Love is a poison,
It seizes your heart,
Invades your blood,
And controls your mind.

Love is a cure,
It heals your pain,
Fights your illnesses,
And drives you to be greater than ever.

Pain and pleasure,
it almost never works.
