Return To Me

A/N: Based on ROTOQ. Set after Riff kills Magenta (a sin, in the writer's opinion...), and he realizes what he has done and really regrets it.

Disclaimer: Riff Raff and Magenta are not mine. So don't sue. Because I don't claim a thing.

Look at you

So beautiful lying there

Your red hair spread out behind

That pale face holding those green eyes

And your crimson-colored lips

You almost look like you are sleeping

How I wish that were true...

Blood of my flesh, if only wishes were real

You would be asleep

Not gone forever, as you are

Where am I without you?

I'm not sure I know any more

Save me

Save me from this guilt

Save me from the pain that racks my soul and wrecks my mind

Is my apology accepted?

Can you tell me what you feel?

Is it my mind that sees your hand move again,

My tortured senses that imagine

Your skin is not quite so cold?

You have no idea

How much I do regret

All that I have done to you

If I could, I would...you bet.

Please return to me, my beloved

Please come back and tell me

"I forgive you."

But even if you won't forgive

My life would be complete

I could watch you breathe again

Watch you move

Watch you exist

Here with me in this world

Riff, I love you

Please don't do this to me

Believe me, dear brother

It's not what you've seen

Please don't put

That cloth over my eyes

I need to see your face

Even if it is as I die...

How I wish I'd listened

You know that I would

Just take it all back

If only I could...

I'm sorry, my dear,

my beloved, my blood,

my love, my flesh, my life,

my Magenta.
