Assassins

I lived  my life to reach this day of reckoning.

We were all one, rock solid.

Then all of a sudden you had me in your sights.  I was right in front of you.

Your camouflage was brilliant, you were invisible.

You took aim and positioned yourself for no mistakes.

You had the arrow pointing directly at me.

Your breath was steady to minimize the risk of missing your shot.

You cocked back your arm ready to inflict maximum impact.

The time is right I am at my most vulnerable, blinded by your so called trust.

The arrow is released, the tip is laced with poison and your venom.

It hits me with precision right in my heart.

I am weary, devasted, immobilized, Incapacited!

My body is starting to wane, I feel like I'm crossing over.

Your cover has now been broken.  You are now out in the open.

You may think you have won but there are no winners.

Your betrayal has broken me, however you don't realize that you have just lost.
