Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to Labyrinth (although I own the DVD), Jareth, Sarah, any of the puppets (although I wish I owned Sir Diddymus, and I've seen the door knockers at Hot Topic, which I don't own), and I don't know who does. I don't own "Underground," "Within You," or "As the World Falls Down," the fabulous, pointy-toothed David Bowie does.
I had given her everything. I had offered her the world and she gave it all up. For a baby? It doesn't make any sense. All she had to do was say the word and I would give her everything she'd ever wanted. For the first time in my life, I had found myself perplexed.
...The lost and the lonely.
No one can blame you
For walking away.
Too much rejection,
No love injection.
Love, the one thing in my world that I can't control. Try as I might, I can't control Sarah's feelings anymore than I can't re-order time or move the stars. But that's the thing. In her eyes, I could see that she didn't want to say what she had said.
There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes.
I move the stars for no one...
"You have no power over me."
She didn't mean that. It was the best lie she'd ever told me. And the hardest for her to tell me. I could see it in her eyes, she wanted to stay with me. I had all the power in the world over her. If I'd just held on a little longer, she would have stayed. I know she would have. But I let go. For her sake.
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you...
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down.
She doesn't realize how happy we could have been. She would never have had to have put up with the screaming baby or her stepmother, whom she still hates with a fiery passion. She could have stayed here with me, forever.
It's only forever
Not long at all...
I still watch her sometimes, through my crystal. She doesn't know I'm there, but I am. I like to keep an eye on her, make sure she's safe and happy. She doesn't know how much pain she's caused me, convincing herself that I was just a dream. A dream about a porcelain statuette on her vanity
Your eyes can be so cruel.
She doesn't know how much pain at all. But it eases that pain, knowing that she loved me, even if she didn't know herself.
I'll leave my love between the stars...

Pleeeease review this! This is my first Labyrinth fic, and I want to know if I should write more like it, or give up. It's also only my second songfic. And the first one wasn't even a song.
