For all eternity
Surrounded by walls
They move at my will
A maze to my heart
I am the babe with the power,
Stolen, for my command of sorcery
My innate ability
To make magick dance
Now, I’m apathetic
Insignificant
Without someone
To challenge me
My life,
Void of your sunlight
My love,
Void of your heartbeat
I need an heir
One worthy of the power
The power to succeed me
Lead me
Exceed me
One to be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel
I beg for the words
Call me to you
We can be together forever
Not long enough at all.
