You, who can't even remember your own name,
You're the one that has found your way here.
And you, the one that's forgotten me as well,
Would be wise to stay far away, my dear.
It doesn't have to torture the both of us,
Knowing the sadness that's been all but lost.
I think that this burden on me is enough,
But you can't seem to stop, no matter the cost.
You keep coming back when I've told you to go,
Bringing back every single memory,
And you still don't recognize what it all means,
Or what you keep doing to hurt me.
If things could have ever been different,
It wouldn't have turned out the way it did,
And you wouldn't have to live in a lie
Like I have since I left behind that little kid.
There's a reason why I've kept my distance,
Why I've been so harsh over the years.
I've only been protecting a fragile past
From the danger of awakening the fears.
You, who would never forgive me for this,
Don't even realize the things that I know.
As for me, I suppose I'm the liar, the thief,
For continuing what has made me so low.
I know you deserve so much better than this,
But what is mine to give is what I cannot bear.
And so, I convince myself you're so much better off.
Without me, you're safe somewhere out there.
What just happened?
I was watching Adventure Time's newest episode, "I Remember You", and the next thing I knew, I was writing this. It took me about ten minutes to finish, but I guess that's because the show has all of my feels right now...
Anyway, I guess this was inspired by that episode, though I imagined the gender-swapped characters while writing it. But if you prefer the original characters, that's fine too. It still works. By the way, this is told from the vampire's point of view either way.

Anyway, I'm going to say this is my little tribute to IceLee.

I truly hate that crown that they wear, it took simon(simone)'s memory and sanity all for the sake of survival, the power of ice and snow freezes the heart leaving a void to which the final product (Ice King/Ice Queen) will forever try to fill, but the insanity keeps them for doing so because it makes them hurt people and they become hated. If only someone could enter the ruins of their mind and repair the damage done by the crown and contain it's madness. Could the Ice King/Ice Queen be saved? :*( I'd like to think so
