Wishes and Hopes

Jareth ansting over Sarah in the dark. It's a poem, my fist attempt at Layrinth poetry, so please R/R.

Wishes and Hopes.

I stand in the dark. Alone.

Above the filth of my subjects

A darker shadow amongst the rest

I wish I'd done that

I wish I'd done this

I wish I'd handled you right

A cruel and selfish part of me

The part that reigns supreme

The one that has the last say

Hopes you feel the same

Hopes you dream and cry

Hopes you feel so guilty

I let the bitter night

Win the fight within me

I avoid all light, all hope and

I try to shut my mind down

I try to stay away from you

I try so hard to think of a way that would win you over.

Soaring in the sky

Just about to brush the moon

But still it's so far out of reach. you're out of reach

You wished it so

You wished for this

You wished for that

Who's the fool now?

I gave you everything

Anything I would have given you

Yet you didn't want it

Yet you denied that it was so

Yet I wish it where
