"All you have to do is give into me, Regina. I know that you crave my touch and would do almost anything to bring your precious Emma back. Are you willing to take this risk and see if your Emma comes back regardless of me repeating that this is who I am? Tell me!"

You begin to struggle and I'm laughing at you. "You're so weak and pitiful without your magic. Oh how her majesty has fallen." I whispered in your ear as I use one of my hands to hold yours above your head.

"You're going to lose everything that is precious to you and Henry will be mine." My voice softened a little, "And I want you all to myself as well." You scoff at the idea, "I'm not yours in anyway. You know that I'm with R-"

I let out an animalistic growl, "Never mention his name in my presence! He doesn't deserve you and never has. He wasn't the one who rescued you from that fiery building, helped you in the mines by combining our magic, saved you from that Wraith, or any other moments like those. He waltzes into your life and you chose him."

I wanted to lash out at you for all those times I had to watch the two of you from a distance. I thought that you might in turn become jealous if I was with someone too. I wanted you to choose me, not him!

Fear was reflecting in your eyes and I felt emotions that I thought I'd lost. "As much as you disgust me right now, it doesn't come close to how I feel about him." You bit your lip and I saw a tear fall down your cheek.

I felt such intense pain as I watched more tears slide down your cheeks as you cry silently. "You must be crying for yourself. You failed in saving me,Regina and there's nobody who will come and save you." You had a defiant gaze, "You're wrong, Emma. I wasn't crying for myself, I was crying for you."

"For me? Why waste your tears on someone like me? Answer me!" I wanted you to be in pain, yet you were causing me to feel it. "It's because I love you, Emma Swan. You are my pillar of strength when I've none, you always keep me safe, you know who I am inside and out, we've raised a son together, and you are the reason why I'm no longer hated by Henry. You're my true love, not Robin."

You waited for your words to sink in and by then, your tears had dried on your cheek. I wanted your words to be true, but I knew that you mastered the art of deceit as the Evil Queen. I wanted to see doubt lingering in your eyes.

Doubt Thou The Stars Are Fire.

Doubt Thou The Sun Doth Move.

Doubt Truth To Be A Liar.

But Never Doubt I Love.

"Am I lying to you, Emma? Tell me."

You weren't lying even though I wished you were.
