who fucking cares?

Cupid…
what a stupid jerk
afflicting fools
with poison arrows

who could ever think
his bane a boon
deserves to wind up sterile

i’m not bitter
just a bit perturbed
by this disturbing cherub

leading people on
with false ideals
affixed to fleeing carrots

sure, i’ve known love
just enough to make acquaintance
with the toxins

seeping from the oven
right beside my outline
freshly chalked in

love is but an err of humans
hiding behind freakish guises

spurred by reproductive urges
triggering grave compromises

heed these words
and save yourself
before your better years
are wasted

flailing in the fantasy
of chemically induced extasis

face it
there’s no fucking way
that you can win
romantic matters

i submit
you ditch your shits to give
before your heart gets shattered
