Oh, the horror! I actually went and wrote a Jareth/Sarah poem! But I had
to, you know. Some things, they just grab you and don't let go. "Labyrinth"
is one of them. Expect more Laby-fics from me.
Disclaimer, then: don't own the Living Manifestation of Sexy Coolness which is Jareth nor the Wondrous Image of a Classic Dreamer which is Sarah. They're Henson's, I guess.
Was I Dreaming
Truly, was I dreaming?
You offered me your hand
You offered me forever
You offered me my dreams
In a world that isn't what it seems
In a life I'll never understand
In a way, we'll always be together
For better or for worse, whatever life may bring
Was I dreaming, Goblin King?
Truly, was I dreaming?
Or did I see something in your eyes
Something that beckoned to me
And made me realize
Love isn't always holding on
I see that now – I see
And so I let you go, alone
With dreams of what will never be
The end is near, the tale unfurled
Was I dreaming, little girl?
Truly, was I dreaming?
Or shall I never dream again?
What have I given up that night?
What have I left in realms I loved and lost?
What was the cost
Of finding brother, home and friend
Of doing something right?
Or have I done it right? Should I have given in?
Was I dreaming, trickster-king?
Truly, was I dreaming?
Or do you keep me in your heart?
You dream of me still, every night anew
We'll never truly part
There'll always be a part of me in you
It's not too late, not yet
Come back – come back, these words ring true!
Forgive, but don't forget!
Come back – this land, this heart, for you to rule
Was I dreaming, dreamer-girl?
Truly, was I dreaming?
Or maybe when I'm lonely and afraid
And when the world proves far too much for me
I recall a silken voice, a crystal ball
Eyes calling, promising to set me free
A warmth that never will go cold
A love that will not fade?
Truly, was I dreaming? Why does it haunt me so?
You'll never know, my king… we both will never know…
