Butterfly Bullets

Butterfly Bullets

A Poem by Shannon
"

owl city meets a realist, they have tea, and this happens =P

"
Butterfly bullets
and sharp pointed hearts
Cupids roulette
And poison coated tarts

They poison and plague us
with "love so divine"

They push us and shove us
with "won't you be mine?"

Candy coated lies
And faux commitment
Demon in disguise
love's little tyrant

Running about
Spreading the "love"

Spreading the lies
like heralds from above

Dinosaur prints
all over my heart
smiling as i wince
each time you tear me apart

Depression in my heart
left by careless feet

get off the stage, that's not your part
you disgusting little cheat. . .

Excellent.

"Running about
Spreading the "love"

Spreading the lies
like heralds from above"

Really admired these lines above.
The opening verse is also a real punch. Great imagery. And the title really pulls you in.

NB. just one little thing: "each time you tear me apart" doesn't quite scan nicely with the rest of the preceding verse. Maybe just "when you tear me apart"

Ooh I like! The last two lines are my favorite.

: Butterfly Bullets :

okay, I can dig that!

This flows nicely, easy to read.
Sometimes I think Cupid has no clue!
Other times he's a 'dead on' shot!

Is it a gamble or fate?

This is fantastic. This is some of your old forgotten talent leaching its way out of whatever mire you have locked it into. Keep it up.
