Sense Sonnet - Acher

 My Hand Betrayed Me

A knight in shining armor, you

Asked for my hand in marriage, but

My heart and mind did not want to

Be wed to such a screw loose nut.

Of course you would not understand,

And so my heart and mind did place

A sharpened dagger in my hand.

As I approached you, face to face,

My heart and mind, both chose to kill,

To remove you permanently.

My hand was trained in dagger skill,

And had done this before for me.

Alas, my hand would not attack

You, stuck the dagger in my back.
