Maria
looked at the clock confused,
Liz was always on time, this was
new.
She said to herself, "How could this be?
I thought
that after the breakup, Liz would want to see me."
Maria
turned and watched the rain,
As it pittered and pattered on her
windowpane.
She thought back to Michael on that night long ago,
When he came soaking wet through her window.
She sighed with
grief at this lost memory,
"This is the way it has to be."
Thunder
boomed and lightning crashed,
As Maria heard an awful smash.
She
ran to her door and opened it up,
As she was grabbed by Agent
Duff.
"I
wish you kids never got involved,
But now it's over, it's been
resolved."
"What
do you mean?" she cried in fear,
"What are you doing?
Why are you here?"
"We're
here to help you, your family and friends,
We want to protect you
from those aliens!"
All
of a sudden, the world went black,
Maria passed out, and fell to
her back.
"Get
her to the truck, and do it fast!
We want to get there while the
tranquilizers last."
They
carried her out with little care,
And threw her in, when they got
there.
Though
Maria's body was still,
Her mind was reeling, a swift windmill.
She opened her eyes to a groggy dreamworld,
Where Michael's
head rested on her blonde curls.
"Michael wake up! What's happening to me?"
Michael stirred but mumbled, "Go to sleep, sweetie."
She
looked around her at the awesome sight,
A cliff in the desert on
a warm starry night.
Soon the sun arose from the sand,
And
Michael kissed her smooth, silky hand.
Michael's eyes seemed to
gleam,
As he looked around at the beautiful scene.
"Michael,"
she whispered, as he stroked her hair,
"Have you changed
your mind? Do you really care?"
"Maria,
Maria," he laughed with glee,
"You're the only one for
me!
I thought you would always feel it too,
The way my heart
belongs to you."
His words sounded sweet, and soft to her
ears,
Who would have thought they would end up here!
Then,
as soon as it had begun,
The dream was over, finished, done.
Maria laid a few moments still and changed,
Before she
noticed, the sheets felt strange.
Her eyes snapped open at the
speed of light,
And she looked around, but had no sight.
She
couldn't move, she couldn't scream,
She tried to believe this was
all a dream.
Ever so slowly her vision returned,
Her body
ached, her mind burned.
She looked around her at the white walls,
And in came a man, thin and tall.
Where had he come from?
Where was the door?
Maria lowered her bare feet to the floor.
Wailed
Maria, "Where am I? You have to tell!"
Replied the
doctor, "Welcome to Hell."
