If you still want to be shot by Cupid Then go ahead but I think it's stupid I never take his arrows anymore Since having been shot by Cupid before Turned out to be such painful injury My heart like Humpty Dumpty in free fall And having avoided cupidity I would prefer not to be shot at all
I've lived too close to couples who tussle Claw like cats in the hustle and bustle Of gross dysfunction and indignity If that's what coupling is it's not for me And what of those couples with peaceful ways? One of them does what the other one says While others shout what they say together Loudly in stridently stormy weather
If you still want to be shot by Cupid Nothing I say will stop you anyway Until you too end up feeling stupid And duped like me at the end of the day
My good old cat and I will be just fine The next heart shot by Cupid won't be mine
True, but don't despair the 'couples' thing completely. It took me two times, but my second marriage is wonderful (not perfect) but very fullfilling. Perhaps 'peaceful' is waiting around the corner...
Perhaps it is safer that way, Stevie. There's no denying that "love" can be very hurtful at times. Take care. Blessings to you,
Regis

Sometimes starting anew is hard, but like myself i enjoy the companionship of the opposite sex,Cupid can stay away for awhile,I think he's crosseyed anyway...Thanks for sharing,

Wonderfully woven together words. I will summit this idea, though.

Claw like cats in the hustle and bustle
Of gross dysfunction and indignity, were not shot by cupid's arrow but by an imposture. The horny fellow who dresses in red. Be careful for he is busy trying to bring you down. Don't let him succeed.
