Took Away My Breath

Love like a silver dagger
That I plunge into my heart
Hoping it will fix me inside
Come now love, do your part
Wanting to see blood flow
From powder white skin
I hope to feel joy and agony
While losing all within
Love makes one feel good
But only for a short time
Then its spell weakens
And it loses all its rhyme
So I will die by love's knife
And if anyone asks of my death
Wherever I am I will smile and
Whisper; "He took away my breath"
