Cry, Aphrodite, cry
Live the pain you bring
Rain on us with mystic tears
Clip Cupid's silly wings
Lie, Aphrodite, lie
Tell us love is what we need
I think you like to see suffering
You love to watch us bleed

what's an aphrodite? Srry idk ^^;

Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love.

This is quirky and clever, simple and yet hitting on universal sentiments we all can relate to. This stands out for its originality. I like it very much.

The first four lines especially conveyed a vengeful satisfaction that the goddess of love get a full dose of the downsides of romance! Definitely an unsympathetic take on Aphrodite! Very creative take on the prompt!

Sadistic...
Nice and short, but, yeah, short. Either way, I like it, it's a good, short poem. I don't really know entirely where it's coming from, but that mystery leaves it with a bit of power.
