[size=6pt]even though i'm the sacrifice
you won't try for me, not now[/shadow]
[justify]
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
[Chorus:]
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
[Chorus]
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
[Chorus]
I would react badly
To the slightest hint of hesitance
He’d bend awkwardly to suit my mood
No word from his defense
I’d cry knowing how my tears
Felt like acid burning through his skin
Pushed every little button
But the right one that would let me in
Now he’s afraid of me
He’s afraid of me
It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault
I made changes that went unnoticed
Sang songs for deaf ears
He mistook my silence for punishment
As it had been all these years
I’d cry knowing how my tears
Felt like acid burning through his skin
Now he’s afraid of me
He’s afraid of me
It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I-
It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault

[justify]Prologue
A black tom who went by the name of Crowflight became nervous when he heard the approaching sound of yowling and spitting. He knew that there was a battle commencing, yet he was too afraid to leap into the fray and protect his clan. His leaders, Chocolatestar and Wavestar, had challenged XylophoneClan's leaders to a battle. He was worried about his mate, Illuminatingdream from XylophoneClan, coming to harm. She had recenty become pregnant, but refused to keep at bay in the nursery. His clanmates, Sol and Luna, stood by his side. "Come, Crowflight. We must protect what is ours and fight for it." Sol mewed kindly. Heart in his dry throat, the black tom rose to his paws and breathed. "Okay. Let's go." he said. The three began running into the battle. As they stormed in, Crowflight was thinking. Please, Illuminatingdream. Save yourself while you still can![/justify]

continued....
Crowflight ran into the fray, followed by Sol and Luna. Swallowing the lump in his throat, he pounced at a dark blue tom that he soon realised was Jokerstar. The larger cat used his strength as an advantage and rolled over, no matter how painful the dagger-like claws that dug into his fur were. Jokerstar thrashed Crowflight and threw him off. The black tom gasped for breath. His blue eyes drifted towards Illuminatingdream, his limp mouth making out the words, I love you. Jokerstar, unknowing of the relationship of her daughter with Crowflight, whispered, "Say your prayers, kiddo." Crowflight, eyes wide, began crying for mercy, jaws desperately trying to speak. A large, unholy paw rose in the air and swept down through Crowflight's throat like an executioners axe. Crowflight tried to scream, but all that came out was an untranslatable gurgle.
Illuminatingdream gasped. Everything else was silent; she felt like there was nothing but her and Crowflight. Wailing, the pregnant she-cat ran over. "No...no!!" she yowled. She looked into Crowflight's blue eyes and cried. "Illuminatingdream, my love. I do not fear death. Look after our kits. Do not fear; you will see me again." She paused as she heard Crowflight's voice echoing in her ear. Illuminatingdream looked over her shoulder and saw a celestial figure in the distance. "Crowflight! Don't leave me!" she called desperately. The black tom disappeared, leaving a translucent mist. The fighting had stopped by the time that Illuminatingdream came to her senses. The realisation that the HollyClan deputy was dead sank in, more so the fact that Jokerstar himself had killed him. Illuminatingdream cried and ran back to camp.
"Remember...remember."
