Disclaimer: I don't own The Nightmare Before Christmas
Kudos to everyone who reviewed my last story, My Unwanted Future. I got some requests to write another story, so I am. Now for the story.
You were always the one
The one I longed to hold
But no one knew of this
My secret couldn't be told
I have never cared for another
The way I care for you
I've loved you from the start
And I hoped you loved me too
I still remember the day we met
Upon that spiral hill
The first time you smiled at me
My heart had gone still
From then on, I watched you
You, the pumpkin king
I watched as you scare, laugh, and smile
And all those lonely songs you sing
Oh Jack, It was like the same song every night
But you didn't see
All those songs from the bottom of your heart
I thought were about me
They reminded me of myself
And how I was locked away
To be a slave and nothing more
Till the end of my days
But you came and rescued me
Because of you I'm saved
You led me to the cemetery
Where I found the deadly night shade
We saw each other more and more
Practically all the time
Until I returned home at night
To be punished for my crime
It happened like this every night
In our town of Halloween
Until one night you disappeared
Never to be seen
The next day you returned
The town hall was filled with sound
The whole nightlong you showed us
All the Christmas stuff you found
Everyone was excited
But not too thrilled
I could tell something was wrong with you
You always seemed so chilled
You'd paced in that tower
For days on end
Until you announced
That Christmas would be ours to send
I tried to make you see
That it was wrong what you were doing
But when I tried to explain
I ended up sewing
You're taking off tonight
Everyone's heart full of glee
I cried "No!"
But you didn't hear me
So, Good-bye Jack
My love for you will always be
And even thought you will be changed after tonight
My only wish is to see you happy (with me)
