Broken Cupid
Feral eyes glittering
claws sharp and deadly
she stalks through the night.
Scavenger of broken dreams
looting and thieving what she wants,
lust and loss her domain.
Struggles all around her
ignored for blood thirst.
A revenge that sings to her soul,
calling to her night and day
pulling her forward into the game.
A game that has been in play for eons.
Poised and coiled deadly beauty
a serpent ready to strike.
She takes aim with fatal precision
and boldly strikes at your heart.
Her weapon of choice?
A barbed arrow.
Coated with not love and adoration
but bitterness and strife.
Her desire not to pleasure
but to destroy
for all the harm done to her.
Centuries have passed
and still she rides,
seeking, forever searching.
A broken cupid who has lost her reason,
her life,
and finally her sanity.
