Together (Or, the doomed love of Rick and Manea)
I was lost.
Dead and buried.
A damsel in distress.
With my help, you came and freed me,
but I was such a mess.
I’d tell you we belong together, but that would be a lie.
I fell in love and now I want to die.
I was young.
I was normal.
Or so I told myself.
You awakened something in me,
I’d thought was on the shelf.
I’d tell you we belong together, but that would be a lie.
I fell in love and now I want to die.
You are kind,
but you hate me.
I guess I’ve earned that much.
With the spells, the ghosts, the zombies,
The pentagrams and such.
I’d tell you we belong together, but that would be a lie.
I fell in love and now I want to die.
You are mad.
You’re a goddess.
I wish that wasn’t true.
How I wish that you were mortal.
‘Cause then I could love you.
I’d tell you we belong together, but that would be a lie.
I fell in love and now I want to die.
They would talk,
of my feelings.
Or they already do.
Their voices all surround me,
But I’ll always love you.
I’d tell you we belong together, but that would be a lie.
I fell in love and now I want to die.
They are wrong,
all these feelings.
They need to go away.
My thoughts, on you they linger.
You’re leading me astray.
I’d tell you we belong together, but that would be a lie.
I fell in love and now I want to die.
“We’re in love.”
“We’re a couple.”
These words I’ll never know.
Though I’ve tried my best to woo you,
Your answer’s always “no.”
I’d tell you we belong together, but that would be a lie.
I fell in love and now I want to die.
We are doomed.
As an item.
We two can never be.
This love is self-destructive.
It’s telling me to flee.
I’d tell you we belong together, but that would be a lie.
I fell in love and now I want to die.
