Arrow.

I made my life an arrow,
the tip a deadly sharpened point.
So people never came so 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 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.
