Prayer To Cupid

		O Winged God of speed and grace
		Who brings true love to the human race
		Please hear the plea of this lonely boy,
		Please bring me love and bring me joy.

		The love around me is pure and strong
		But I want the stuff they speak of in song
		I see it every day, people falling in love
		because you shot an arrow from way up above

		Yet for reasons unbeknownst, you single me out
		You make me jealous of the love others flout
		What is it with me, have I done something wrong?
		Surely there’s a reason I’ve waited so long.

		Why do you leave me to suffer and writhe?
		Is this the plan that you have contrived?

		I've waited so long for the love that I need
		Yet others get it while my heart bleeds.

		So notch up an arrow, let it fly straight in true,
		Straight to my heart, so love my imbue.
