As My World Falls Down…
His memory and songs carry me down
The paths back into days of old,
Wherein magic was his plaything
And I his lover…
But time marched on, carrying him
Far from my arms,
Far from my cries of 'Unfair!'.
I remember him laughing as he slipped
Into the chaos,
Chuckling wanly at the old phrase
That had so readily leapt to my lips
Back when I thought I'd
Hated him so.
He'd known that we could
Never truly be together,
That age and time would
Tear us apart
Without so much as a by-your-leave.
He'd known too that I would
Have never listened,
Never heeded his request
To find a mortal love
And to leave him on his lonely way…
I traverse the now
Overgrown labyrinth of my mind,
Starkly remembering when another
Maze of stone and hedge
And wild magic had
Led me to the very essence of fantasy;
A throne wreathed in mists…
A face too beautiful for words…
A gloved hand reaching out
To catch me as I fell…
Those mismatched eyes
Always had drawn me to
Those waiting lips…
Jareth and Sarah, of course. I'm somewhat basing this off of a few fanfics I've read that are such a paring, and thought they were absolutely a blast.
