My love
Don't throw away my love
Jareth leaned back into his throne, staring into one of his crystal bubbles. His eyes watching her sleep, silently pleading her to call for him, to wish for him…to love him.
You are, to me
My greatest fantasy
Night after night
I want for you to hold me tight
He longed for her. He wanted her so badly it ached. He had wracked his brain every night, trying to think of how to make her want him to. He hated her that she had refused him, yet found it impossible to not love her.
I want to be with you
You could make my dreams come true
Only you
Could make my heart and soul brand-new
He sighed and looked away, unable to watch her any longer. He stood and walked to the window, eyes drifting over the labyrinth. Not even a week ago, she had been here. Making her way through the huge maze to take back her baby brother. She had been in this castle, facing him, throwing him away…throwing his love away.
My love
Don't throw away my love
My love
We could have an everlasting love
It had puzzled him so, trying to figure out what he had done wrong. She had asked him to take her brother, and so he did. But no, then she wanted him back. So, he allowed her time to save him. He had done everything in his power for her. The least she could do was love him.
I want to be
All that you want me to be
Why can't you see
Just how much you mean to me
Anything she wanted, he would do for her. If she asked him, he would give her the world. He would give her all her dreams if she just asked him to. He wanted to see her desperately. To see if he could understand why she had turned him down. But he could not see her against her will. It was so painful. Waiting day after day, night after night. For something that would never happen.
I want to be with you
You could make my dreams come true
Only you
Could make my heart and soul brand-new
Yes, he knew his wishes were impossible. He could make her dreams become reality…but only she could do the same for him. But, she would never do that. No matter how many times he hoped it would be true, she would never love him. He knew. And it hurt him so.
My love
Don't throw away my love
My love
We could have an everlasting love
He closed his eyes. He could feel his heart
breaking with each second. The heartache was slowly destroying him. He
would never touch her again, never see her eyes look directly into his,
never hear he voice…until…
A distant call rang out through the throne room and a smile spread
across Jareth's face.
"I wish the Goblin King would take me to him,
right now."
End.
