~*The Needle*~

This heart has become a
Vacutainer for pain as the
Arrow of Cupid plunges into
This heart once again.

Like a needle upon the arm
Of a patient, it digs deep
Within me. Let not this
Grim nurse called Cupid plague
Me! It bleeds me, within
Myself, as my heart wilts
From the burning light of
Its fateful touch. This
Arrow, poison tipped to
Drug me, sedate me, ease
My impending pain. Cupid's
Arrow penetrates the safety
Of the womb in which I've
Shrouded this heart o' mine,
To bleed me into eternity.
