Arrows Poem by Persephone Springs

Arrows



'Goodnight'
'Goodnight'
She wants to say 'I love you' but can't
She can't because 'love' means falling, and she's afraid of heights
But he either doesn't know, or doesn't understand
So he moves on
And she stands still
Funny, the love that last the longest is the one that isn't returned
And she can't help but look at him even though he'll never look back
She didn't love herself, and that's why loving him was so...
And now she's falling. Falling. Falling. Falling. Alone.
But she was only the girl who fell apart every time she saw him
Only the girl who never knew how to say it
Only the girl who only wanted the one thing she couldn't have
But that's just what happens when Cupid runs out of arrows and only shoots me.
