I got my sights set on you

watch out

By Daniel KPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

In your absence,

I have spent thousands of lonely hours

chopping yew until my palms bled,

scorning the world,

watching knife after knife

mirror the dullness of life

as I carved

the catastrophe of my soul

into a bow

God help you

when I get my hands on

Cupid's arrow

About the Creator

Daniel K

I write love poems about the girl who has a hold over my heart and my life in such a way that neither are my own anymore. The girl I would choose over and over and over again. I love her, and that is the beginning and end of everything.
