Wildling

I could take your hand
Wildling
But you'd lead me astray
With Will-o'-Wisp delight
Eternal desire
For something more than this life
Pique my fascination
Fuel my ire
I could follow you
Darkling
Into lands unknown
Taste forbidden fruits
Bid this world adieu
But not until I've extracted
A single promise from you
I will go hither
Sweetling
If you'll secure me your heart
We'll walk the space Between
In ethereal ecstasy
Until we're but a tale
A fanciful nighttime reverie
