Fleeing love

He told me he was leaving one rainy summer's day
he told me he was leaving
I didn't stand in his way

the chasm in my heart
said don't let him go
the logic in my head
don't upset the
apple cart

So pride won out
and he ran out

will love ever revisit?

Cupid's pointed arrow
left it's mark
and a drop of
poison or elixir
call it what you will
is left flowing
through my veins

it is a part of me
I want to be loved
