why is the arrow through the heart symbol supposed to be cute?

i know the whole cupid shoots cute little arrows at people and they fall in love.

what a great guy.

not true.

the metaphor is wrong.

if you take it literally, though, you’re closer to the truth.

two people, suddenly in love.

with as little control over it as they’d have stopping an arrow speeding towards their heart.

and love, it hurts.

as much as said arrow to your heart.

as for me, if i could talk to cupid.

i’d say this:

keep your arrows.

i don’t need em.

i don’t want the pain.

just stay away.
