Please forgive me but I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll wake up
And barely conscious you'll say to no-one
"Isn't something missing?"
I never meant to leave you in this way I promise. I know it'll upset you but you have your own life to live now. I am your sister not your crutch and even though it breaks my heart to say goodbye to someone who has already been through so much I have to go. I can't stay here any longer, everywhere I look there is a reminder of him.
You won't cry for my absence I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I that insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
I walked away from the Junk yard that night, away from everything that reminded me of him, away from my home and family. At the time no price was too high to pay to get rid of everything that connected me to him. The cat I once loved with all my heart. The cat who hurt you and hurt me. I am young but at times I feel older than Old Deuteronomy.
Even though I am the sacrifice you won't try for me not now
Though I'd die to know you loved me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
When I was around you stuck to my side like you had been super-glued there you were too afraid to leave me even if our mother, Demeter, was there. Your terror of Macavity held you captive. I walked away to give another chance at life. You can't stick to someone who isn't there, can you?
I love you so much it broke my heart to think of what you would do when you found out I was missing. When I walked away I half-expected someone to stop me but no-one did.
Please, please forgive me but I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself, shudder deep and cry out
Isn't something missing?Isn't someone missing me?
I sneaked back to spy on you once. I didn't do it again. The point of me leaving was to try and make you independent. As usual I had messed it up. I tried to return but the others believed that I had left because I wanted better than what the Junk yard had to offer. They were fools. Yes I was once beautiful but after Macavity and the fight with the pollicles we had trying to return to the Junk yard I knew I was ugly before I finally left the Junk yard for good.
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 missing?
I will return one last time and beg forgiveness. I only want you to understand why I did what I did. I need to beg your forgiveness, Jemima, for what I have done to you in leaving you. Then I will leave you finally. We will meet again in The Heavyside Layer. But I say goodbye to you tonight as I beg your forgiveness. Goodnight my little sister and goodbye.

Good or bad? Just to explain: Demeter is Grizabella and Jemima's mother. Grizabella and Jemima got captured by Macavity but managed to return to the Junk yard. Grizabella then left the Junk yard because she felt her little sister relied on her too much and everything reminded her of Macavity. She then tried to return but the Jellicles stopped however Jemima didn't know about this. She then promises to see her one last time. Hope that made a bit more sense. Song: Missing- Evanescence. Please review, also do you want me to turn this into a proper story and explain it in more detail? I have some ideas for it but decided to do it as a oneshot first and see what people thought. Italics are song lyrics by the way.
