This poem was actually inspired by TwigCollin's story "A Long Hard Road". I have the author's permission to post this poem.
Icarus
If I sang you through the shadows
Would you grasp my outstretched hand?
If I danced you through the dreaming
Could I follow your command?
If I followed every order
Would you keep the oath you swore?
Past the boundaries of the borders
Past the darkness at the door.
OOO
If I bowed my head before you
Would you grace me with a word?
If I knelt for you in nightmares
Would I finally be heard?
If I bled for you in battle
Cast my crimson to the sea
Would you see me there before you?
Would you, could you, set me free?
OOO
If I dared to dream of glory
Of the light within your eyes
Would you ever even notice?
Would you grant me all the skies?
Leave me lost to all my torment
If that's all I hope to gain
And dismiss me without warning –
But please let me keep my pain.
