Second prompt for the challenge: Finding You

Songfic.

Portals and Promises

It's madness just to wait here
On every side, my kingdom's come
While the Dark Lord gloats incessantly
My greatest task remains undone
Promises to be fulfilled
We now haunt the Shrieking Shack
Where angels become demons
Cursed by spirits from the past

It seems one's mortal resolution
Provides uncommon clarity
Now I see existential portals
That once were hide from me
Blind by hatred for his father
I could never see enough
All these years, he's so like you
A true diamond in the rough

Lily, are you there?
Please don't leave me in despair
I need to find you near
So lead your boy right here
It's so close to the end
Right now, I need my only friend
Just tell me how to let him know
All my knowledge yet to show

Has it really come to this?
A servant surrogate remiss
Whose only reason for life
Hinged on a ne'er forgotten promise?
Destiny through us together
Parallels chosen for our fate
Dark Prince renowned, I'll pass my crown
Before it grows too late…
