There once was a group named Alliance
In t.v. shows, theirs were the finest
Though story writers would beg
To own Benny and Meg,
They'd laugh right out loud and decline us.

My hair blows recklessly about my face
I am mesmerized by your moving lips.
Not dead? Of course! How could you be?
The thought I daren't even grip.
Running, then stopping atop a train
Hurt filling me to the very core.
For the moment not even caring
What those blasted terrorists have in store.
How could you think me so very heartless?
I'll have you know I'm not made of stone!
Pull down all the walls that are laid before me
Allow the Dragon Queen to step off her throne.
My heart beats in time to yours
We are not that different, I'll make you see.
Look beyond my mask-like exterior
Deep inside you will find the real me.
Again you surprise me with your answer,
You skillfully volley my every serve.
Looking into your eyes, I feel lightheaded,
I will not, must not lose my nerve!
"It's racing…"
"Out of control?"
"It's a runaway."
Those simple words are my undoing
All walls lay crumbled at my feet.
Inch by inch--bodies moving closer
The train, our hearts; one steady beat.
Time slows down, then stops altogether,
Not a thing to be heard, but our drumming hearts.
A silent question asked and answered
There will be no turning back once we start.
My hair blows recklessly about my face
I am mesmerized by your drugging kiss.
In your arms I am finally whole
No dream could hold a candle to this.
What should have happened, and what happened later
Are different as night and day
Foolishness? Fear? Or just plain stupidity?
Whatever the reason, I sent you away.
Every day I curse that decision!
What madness drove me to make it so?
If I were not so fooled by my "duty",
Would I have told you not to go?
Alas, that was then, that was the past,
It can't be changed, no matter the cause.
But I hold onto hope, I dare to dream,
Could you ever forgive my major flaws?
Your presence haunts my waking hours,
I see your silhouette in sleep,
My love (yes, I admit that now…)
You have my heart, it is yours to keep.
