Trick of Fates

Winged Cupid, the child of love

Donned his arrows and hovered above

He shot his arrow into my heart

Happily, he was about to depart

Mission is done and love in the air

Why instead he felt my despair

The arrow was poisonous, a trick of Fate

Angry at my misdeed, they lay in wait

I have cut their spinning fateful thread

Changing Destiny, cheating death instead

Submit to Fate and humbly repent

Or face punishment and eternal torment

I laughed at the irony of their threat

No matter what I did, the time was set

To take my rebellious soul and imprison

Me in Death, She has ultimately risen

To embrace me and devour my soul

Cupid stepped in, Love was his goal

He shot Death in the heart with an arrow

Her heart lightened and danced like a sparrow

When our eyes met, I took my last breath

That is why I am in Love with Death
