The roses you sent, were bright red
You spoke words that you never meant
That flame has burnt out
Valentine's Day leaves no doubt
True crime headlines say, Cupid is dead

Can someone please revive him asap! Lol
Alas poor Cupid, I knew him well!
"You spoke words that you never meant" - haven't we all been there!
Though Good Friday seems dismal & holy Saturday seems devoid of all hope, Easter Sunday still awaits (even for Cupid).
I totally agree with MC! Stupid Cupid needs to be dead hahahahaha. Loved your poem!
Love this twist! I feel like this could lead to a whole story, great job!
This is just too sad.
If he's not, he needs to be. Stupid Cupid, LOL
