Cupid Knows Best
Why did Cupid’s arrow transfix my heart?
I don’t remember doing him a harm
Or casting doubts about his special charm.
So why attack me, why set me apart?
Was I writ large upon his victim chart?
‘Let’s get this maid, and shatter all her calm’
I'm sure he said, and then drew back his arm
And through my battered heart he drove a dart.
Hm. You may say that love will bring me bliss.
That all the world rejoices at love’s dream.
Perhaps, you’re right. My heart does strongly beat
Each time I feel his arms and taste his kiss.
Forgive me Cupid, you knew well your scheme
I bow and humbly kiss your winged feet.

I've posted it already so any tips would only be for help to me in the future ie I'm not cheating. ('winged' should be read as wingED)
