The Sneak Attack

At last the proverbial other shoe has dropped and hit the ground I've been waiting for it for so long been waiting for that sound And it thinks itself so clever staying motionless for years in the hope that I'd forget it and relinquish all my fears It'd pop its head in from time to time when life was going well and warp someone with evil send a marriage straight to hell I must admit, it tricked me more than a few times and swept my feet from under me and stole all I thought was mine But this time I was waiting now that all my dreams came true the perfect man, the perfect place it came as if on cue This time it wouldn't warp my mate it'd leave my marriage strong and it wouldn't make me lose my home and nothing would seem wrong This time it'll ruin me from within undermine things like a rumor and destroy my bit of happiness with a large and deep brain tumor.
