I was listening to Celine Dion's newest album "Taking Chances" and I just heard this song and, like, BAM! I realized it really fit into Ani/Padme, so I just had this weird instinct to write this.. So here you go! To tell the truth, I don't really like it this much anymore.. Hum. Not really happy how it turned out.

This Time
One more hour burns
So scared of his return
That I can't sleep tonight
In this hospital light
What you call a tragedy
Is just another day to me
For my heart beats with fear
As his footsteps draw near
She blinked tears out of her eyes. It wasn't supposed to happen like this-what happened to him?
The life I meant to lead
Won't slip away from me
She had to stand up to him–she couldn't let him go on like this. It wasn't right. How had his morals changed? He once said that he would never, ever fall- how-?
'Cuz this time is the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough
You break me, and as I bleed
You just say you're sorry
You call this love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time
She would believe it when Obi Wan told her Ani had become a Sith-it wasn't possible. Believable. Her sweet, gentle Ani.. How? Why?
There's nothing left of this
Your whispered words and empty threats
Rip away the seams of what I though this would be
The last thread has come undone
To reveal what I've become
Another victim of a poison love
But love blinds, she realized. It stops you-prevents you-from seeing the truth until it was too late. Would she-should she-have foreseen Ani's downfall?
I've been afraid for years
but that won't keep me here
She knew he was using his anger with the Force-but how could she have known it was the 'dark side'? He told her it made him stronger.. She was a Senator, after all, raised in the palaces of Naboo-not the Jedi Temple.
'Cuz this time is the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough
You break me
To just say you're sorry
You call this love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time
Dimly, she reflected-knew-that Palpatine, Ani-her Ani-would destroy the galaxy together. And she had helped them by overthrowing Valorum.
What remains a mystery
You can not have the best of me
So I'm taking back
All you took from me
With that final, flickering thought, Padme Naberrie Amidala Skywalker lost all last conscious strength.. Darkness faded her vision, and she saw no more.
'Cuz this time is the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough
You break me
To just say you're sorry
You call this love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time
