you caught me off guard
i must say
i wasn't prepared
for the cold hard blade to plunge into my back
betrayal laced it and
the poison infected my heart
right where the tip of the dagger rested
i thought mitral valve prolapse was bad
until i saw you
and the bottom of my heart twisted and fluttered
a feeling i can't quite describe
i don't know anymore
