The Hostage

Terror ties her heart to the tracks

Keeping it hostage, not in villainy

More an act of heroic caution

Giving it over to certain annihilation

All under the premise of protection

A guarantee in return for deception

She and the fear have an understanding

Losing her place is what she expects

Something natural as her hidden grace

A piece of her soul as thieves ransom

Not a price too high to be deemed

Suitable witness to the stirrings

Of a brilliant minds rising dreams

Musical Inspiration
