The Crying Cupid Poem by Cookie Iwuoha

Endless it seems
The joy that comes from you to me
Never knew u had thorns
Your smile and frown
On this sentiments of yours
My joy n pain depends

Your name is pain
Cause when it’s heard
Loneliness is re lived
For you are not in my life to stay
And am already drunk
With the tears i will cry in the loss of you

Your face is pain
For though I have nailed it to my heart
The cupid that brought you to me
Has already grown wings
And will still fly away wit you
No matter how much I plead
For you are not in my life to stay

Your voice is pain
Though it’s the sweetest sound to me
I hear it and feel the agony in its promise
For sometimes after midnight I weep
Knowing that no comfort will come from those sweet lips
When the time of parting reach
It hurts so deep knowing
This love so true and divine must end
Death we must give it
Like abortion of an unwanted child
That came in Innocence

Every day I try to love you less
For we are victims of a circumstance so cruel
That we are to give up this diamond found in the dark
When love is hard to find on earth
Thanks for all that you have already given
Please don’t cry, let us not fight them
No reason is even enough to win this war against them
For no camel can pass through the eye of this needle
Don’t argue dear, the law must be obeyed
None of us is to be blamed
We all must obey this law made before Men were created

Honestly I pray not for a miracle
For I believe none can happen in this case
For this is the one crime endorsed by humanity
So I pray for the strength to let you go
I pray to grow enough to give you up
I pledge to resist and push away every form of your influence
That will bring me on my knees to beg you return to me

Every rule I have already broken
The events of tomorrow I have already seen
The scene when we will finally say Goodbye
Replay itself before my eyes often times
Thousand times I have cried inside
For this Goodbye that u must someday say to me
For you are not in my life to say

As I write this
My room is grave silent
For I hear the beats of my heart
And read the story about us
That no one will love to hear
For I am an abomination unto earth
And a blessing only to the wretched of this earth

Remember me when you can
Remember that everyday I fought the love
That I am supposed to give you
Remember that from the dawn of the secret
To eternally have us separated
I prepared a grave
For the feelings that bears your name in my heart

I wish it to live
Will give away my life for it
But I won’t be remembered
I won’t be a hero but a coward
For dying for something that doesn’t live for me

Goodbye tomorrow to this dream
Goodbye tomorrow to this love
For you are to be the one that most complete me
But we have to be destroyed for the unknown sins of yesterday
So this cupid has grown wings, you can weep dear
Yes weep, but there is no stopping me
For there is no reason for this love to still breathe
Yes this is the agony of the crying cupid
You will for ever remain a blessing to me
A blessing of joy and pain
And in my heart forever, It will always rain
For I will remember the precious Emerald
I gave away, without a fight

In heaven I wait, I wait for the chastisement of God,
For not rising against a law
That he would have given everything to crush
Now this love we have found we must lose
And this crying cupid has already grown stronger wings
To fly away never to ever perch in our lives again
For one love lost is all love crushed
