Take an Arrow to the Heart

You are an experienced archer,
my heart is your closest target,
I hide it in plain site without thinking,
and it will be a surely be hit.

You place your aim very carefully
and draw back your deadly bow,
I hope you hit what you want,
then you finally let it go.

The arrow moves in slow motion,
at least it seems that way to me,
it pierces through my chest,
and you are instantly set free.

You are free, yet I am imprisoned,
my heart is yours to keep for always,
with your arrow, you broke it permanently,
still, you're my love, and my heart won't sway.

Shattered into pieces, yet still alive,
I don't see how it’s humanly possible,
Others warned me, but I didn't care,
I lead myself straight into this like a fool.

I was willing to take an arrow to the heart,
just for love, but it was well worth the pain,
I will never forget you, my first love, my true love,
though my heart is shattered, in it, you will remain.

Author notes

needs some work, i know.

you always see those hearts with the arrows through them, but you never know it if was "cupid's" arrow or an arrow that shattered it. i was just thinkin' about it...
