#cupid arrows

So a particular piece of set dressing caught my eye.  (I like shiny things).

These are arrow heads; from left to right a crescent (debated use; either bird hunting or cutting ropes), a barbed head (or small broadhead), a broadhead (used for larger game; penetrates deep), a waisted broadhead, and a swallowtail broadhead (again, cuts deep and flies true).  They’re incredibly ornate, and very sharp from the look of it.  But if you’ll look closely, two of them have hearts, and two have flowers.

Now the flowers could be almost anything; five petaled flowers are hardly uncommon.  But, there are two that fit the outline of the middle arrowhead rather closely; forget-me-nots and old-fashioned wild roses.

I’m absolutely convinced that these are cupid arrows.

She brought her husband from a distant land

But didn't notice when he went away

If this is passion from a broken heart

I'd hate to see you when you're happy

It isn't so because he said it's so

Let's just continue disbelieving

Cupid, cupid arrows

Cupid, cupid arrows

Cupid, arrows to her head

I borrowed it from a distant past

As if wisdom could be painted on

Realized I'm passive if it just looks sweet

Another letter of deception

Your best friends always seem so far away

You should have saved one for the rainy days

This sort of emptiness just fills you up

Just like your self-fulfilling spirits

Cupid, cupid arrows

Cupid, cupid arrows

Cupid, arrows through her hair

Wish there were languages that you could speak

What will you do for your next encore?

A few hours in a library

Will make you something less than savvy

You'd always hope you'd make a selling

A selling for a smaller barrel

Take off a day for every tragedy

Then take a year to find a reason

Cupid, cupid arrows

Cupid, cupid arrows

Cupid, arrows to her head

She brought a husband from a distant land

But didn't notice when you went away

If this is passion from a broken book

I'd hate to see you when you're happy

It isn't so because you said it's so

Let's just continue disbelieving

Cupid, cupid arrows, cupid, cupid arrows

Cupid arrows through her head

My favourite song ever- I never get tired of it :)
