An Overrated Cherub

It comes this time every year

The day of infatuation and love

But sadly sometimes ends in heartbreak or in a tear

For love is not always carried on the wings of a simplistic dove

Candy, chocolate, roses, and conversation hearts

Are supposed to show one’s true affection

But personally I don’t think Cupid’s red, heart - shaped darts

Have any say on a couple’s real connection

So why put your relationship under pressure

For a fat baby with an arrow?

At the end of the day love is a measure

As simple as a soaring sparrow

It’s about honesty, chemistry, caring and desire

Not how much you can whip together on a thin wire
