41. Cupid's Patient

Scabbed is your soul,
Cupid plays a larger-than-love role.
Nothing worse than spent fire.

All hurt is mostly dementia.
Distant memories, tinted in sepia.

Brimming with forlorn desires;
The heart, a little scarred tissue
Rent asunder by Shakespeare.

Love is only a few tears;
It’s loneliness that we truly fear.

Note: Posted on the Caferati board on Feb 21, 2005 in humble response to a wonderful piece by Inkie that she called "The Patient".
