Be Careful What You Wish For

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest

Everything around me is silent. Nobody speaks. All is quiet and I sigh. I have been waiting for a long time. Now the moment is here I don't feel that I have accomplished something.

I shared the victory with my people, but they have left me long ago. I shared the feelings with my people, but they are already gone. I shared the dreams with my people, but they took themselves home. To the sky. To the heavens some people still believe in.

They smile upon me. The stars are my dearest friends. Because they don't care about fame or fortune, they only care about what's left. I am not the man I used to be. Human emotions are long forgotten, buried deep in the ground. Human features are long gone, for a face of the earth has replaced them. Human needs are away from me, for I do not want them anymore.

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

When she came along I frowned upon the world. Here she was, white purity, smiling to the Lord. Who is black as the night, hidden in my deepest place. She beamed at me although I am a sinner. I did not know what hit me.

Damn you, fiery child! Curse you and be gone! For you make me feel like I am somewhere, like I am home. I am not supposed to feel this way at all. I am a Dark Lord, remember? But as you look upon me I melt like ice and I only see you...

I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

I want to be with you again. Your heartbeat is still present in my bed. Your scent is still present in my body. Your innocence is still present in my mind. Your love is still present in my heart. Be with me again.

I wish for you to come to me. Your brown eyes seeking mine. Your sweet lips finding mine. Your heart following mine.

I will lead you to the Dark Places of the World, where you have not been before. Sweet child, angel of mine, you will cease to cry. In the end we'll be together... just as we once were.

Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go

You will cease to cry for your beloved hero. Harry Potter. It is his name that I despise, his name that I hate like you hate the night. You shall be mine and mine alone!

Virginia.

Such a lovely name for such a naive girl. I will taint your soul. I will paint your mind black. I will have your heart in my hand. I will hold your heart and I will crush it.

Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say

Every time you laugh I see you. Every time you cry I hear you. I am with you every day. I am inside of you, in your very heart and soul. Do you feel safe? Do you feel protected? You wish for me to be there, do you not?

You wish for me to take you. I wish for you to be with me.

I wish for this night-time...

Why do I feel this way? What have you done to me? You evil little thing! You say that I am evil, huh? You have no idea of what you will be able to do... come to me now... let me have you...

I will take you now, and be gone. Off to a place where no escape is possible. I will guide you to your doom. Sweet child, angel of mine, rest and be at peace.

I wish for this night-time...
