L Drabble:Less
Disclaimer: I own nothing, not even for all that I wish I did.
A.N.: There isn't one this time, other than that I watched "Labyrinth" again the other day, loved it even more, and it has been on my mind ever since. And that this is in Sarah's POV, one year after she left the Labyrinth.
Pairing: There isn't one, really.

I am laying in the grass, staring into the stars. I cannot look at the moon because it is not a moon at all; it is a crystal. I turn onto my side, and my hot tears are finally allowed to be set free upon the cool, slow earth.
On my back again, I close my eyes against my sobs and sky, and I can feel the planet spin. The wind is lightly chilled as it picks at me, laughing quietly at this sadness.
I can feel his eyes on my face as I lie there in the open, and my cries echo into the night.
I hear a fluttering of wings, and he is gone.
He is ashamed of me….
He is locked away from me within my imagination, in a place where I can never reach him again, but I want him to be here, with me.
You should have accepted my offer….
"I know!" I scream to nothing. "I know this! I didn't understand then! Please, let me come back to you!"
No. It is too late. I loved you then, but you have changed into something else. You can never return to this place.
"No! Please!" I cry, but he will never respond to me again. I left his kingdom, his love for me, and my own love for him, and I have paid for it dearly with my sanity. Toby has forgotten, for it has been a year already, and he will never remember what I did to keep him safe, though in danger is where he never was.
I am less than what I was when I left the Labyrinth. No more am I proud, innocent, happy, or anything to be desired.
I know this, too, but because I can no longer go back to the Underground, I became foolish, and tried to make myself more again by becoming less. These drugs can bring back the images and emotions that once held me long ago, but they have torn what made me great, what made me more, away from my body and mind and soul.
This high won't last forever.

A.N. 2: I think this is the shortest thing I have ever written. It's only four hundred and fifty-eight words long, and that's including the end-notes! 8O Please review and tell me what you think! :D
