Be Mine

A bow and an arrow
A sensitive mind
A hurtful word or many
Life doesn’t rewind.



It’s Valentine’s Day
O joy o thrill
ten paces then turn
And prepare for the kill


Right through the heart
That’s where Cupid says aim
Let me be the first
What a wonderful game.


I’ve practiced, have you?
I’ll hit the bullseye
It’s not really fair
Cuz you won’t get a try


But as you go down
And life seeps from your wound
Remember the times
You made my ears fume


Too bad you won’t get
Another chance to be nice
Too little too late
You shoulda thought twice.
