I'll Move The Stars For You

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.
