ONE WAY LOVE AFFAIR

Your bosom is soft as the lily

So once a poet wrote,
Your heart too is soft my love
It’s the song the cupid sang

Then why be so cruel, my love
And blind to my love for you?
There’s a devil,
In your heart, my love

He’s given you a shield to wear,
Of metal stronger than steel
To blunt and even break
The arrows from cupid’s bow!

Did you not hear my love
The twang of cupid’s bow
As he aimed to pierce my heart
And fill it with love for you?

You could have lent your shield
Just for a minute my love
And saved me from the agony
Of a one way love affair!
