Arrow

                                    

I made my life an arrow,

The tip a deadly sharpened point,

So people never came to close,

That I may disappoint,

I'd sit and watch in silence,

As the world would pass me by,

Wondering how far I'd fall,

If I ever tried to fly,

You watched me with such interest,

Like it was me you'd tried to find,

As though you knew all of my secrets,

And the thoughts within my mind,

You looked like all the others,

But what I did not know;

Was while I'd made myself an arrow,

You had made yourself a bow,

And apart we'd both been useless,

But we'd finally worked out why,

Since you need someone to pull you back,

If you ever want to fly,

So you aimed me with precision,

And I flew straight from the start,

Until I landed with a solid thud,

On the target of your heart.
