I can go with *tIq;* Klingons talk about hearts non-literally all the time.
To me, *SoHvaD jIDuQ* says /I stab for your benefit./ *-vaD* doesn't
have any sense of /general direction./ You can just use a locative:
*SoHDaq jIDuQ* /I stab at/to you./ If you had said *qaDuQ* I would agree
it was wrong.
You might also want to change the second *SoHvaD* to *SoHDaq*.

I want this to remain poetic, but replacing {ghe''or tIqvo'} with {ghe''or
qoDvo'} is already considered. I'm also choosing {SoHvaD jIDuQ} on purpose to
indicate a stab in your general direction as opposed to a direct hit. Does
this work?</pre>
