I targeted your heart and to hit my mark I armed my self.
I carefully picked my artillery words.
I wanted to make sure that each utterance would shoot directly left from center
I was ready. I had my plan. I was going to tell you.
I waited for you to walk into sight along busy streets of life
I surveyed the premises and once my radar picked you up.
I went into battle mode. I psyched myself-up
Here she comes...
(Target moving in at 12 o'clock over!)
(Roger that Over)
5...
4...
I stood my ground. Aiming carefully at my mark.
(Copy that over! I've got a clear shot!)
3...
2...
You walked into the view of my aim.
(this was the time. The perfect shot!)
1....
Argh!
I pulled away and rubbed my burning eyes
She flashed me that winning pepsodent smile.
The counter attack leaving me helpless
Everything went blank as I was blinded.
From the radio I could here
"Fire at will! Fire at will! GO GO GO GO!"
I pulled at the trigger but losing my aim
I started shooting the words into all the wrong directions
Missing my aim by a mile
(RELOAD!!! RELOAD!!! RELOAD!!!)
I grappled to find words but there were no words available to me at the moment
(FALL BACK!!! FALL BACK!!!)
I wanted to run away but that would make me a venerable target
The best I could do was camouflage myself
I prayed that my burning face would not give my position away
Could I organize a reconnaissance mission in time to get my words from a black hole of panic?
Where's back-up when you need it.
At this point it was every man for himself.
I reached in to my pockets and found a mouthful of words
I let go of my sniper riffle and reached into my back pocket.
I filled my gun with enough words to shoot straight for your heart
I need to make ever bullet count.
You came closer, I started to sweat bullets instead of firing them
I didn't know that I needed to come with courage to pull the trigger at this distance
(INCOMING!!! TAKE COVER!!! INCOMING!!!)
You launched another round of assault. I was a sitting duck.
All my defenses just crumbled away
I heard the thumping of my heart stop
And I felt the numbness wash over me
The unfired bullets were left to be shot another day.
You shot a look my way and that was the end of me.
One look was all it took to dismantle me. _________________ life is... so BE!

Very poetic and cute Midnights. I don't know how you sneaked this one past me, but I really enjoyed this story.
