Shoot, Why Don't You?

By: Justin Bartz

You sell your body
like a desperate whore
The problem is
that you never get paid for it
Slowly you're killing off
your heart and soul
You're still alone,
maybe it's all a bunch of bull...

...shoot
me in the heart
with the Arrow of Cupid
if you surrender to the fact
we are Destined Lovers.
But if I am expected to wait forever,
Shoot me in the head,
so that I may discover...

...why
I have Loved you throughout this time
Through some buried feelings,
you can't, or you won't,
I only wish that you could
give me a sign
Pointing me the direction of your heart, but you probably...

...don't
understand why somebody
would care so much
For over two years,
that somebody's been so true
Well, Jenny it's time for you
to tear down your defenses
'Cuz through every high
and every low, I've always Loved...

...you...
and I think that I always will
From the first time I saw you,
I fell in Love and I am still
the one for you
and soon you'll see
the connection
you are to me
I said I'd go,
but I think I'll wait,
'cuz in my heart I know
things will be set straight,
so you're done being hurt,
I'm over the past,
For what it's worth,
I'm removing the cast
that covered my heart
through the pain over you,
So today was a start
of a Love brand new.

Just shoot me in the heart
with the Arrow of Cupid,
Not in my head,
unless I've been stupid
To Love you since I first saw you...
A time so old, but a memory so new.


(Always a step ahead of her thoughts...
Always a step behind her heart...
I am.)
