In the Darkness
In the darkness you came to me
And fell under my spell
As my voice captivated your imagination
For to you, I was your angel
Your angel of music
But what I thought was my masked face
Was my distorted soul
That awoke you from your intoxicating trance
No longer was I an angel in your eyes
But a malicious monster of darkness
Enchanted by your genuine innocence
I selfishly wanted you for myself
And you were all I had to live for
But how can one love truly
If one has never truly felt love before?
Behind my mask I still remained just a man
And this you knew even after all the horror
I'd shed just to have you in my life
Yet much as you chose a different path
Than one with me my love for you set me free
For you had in turn become my angel
Who had caused a deep emotion inside of me
to be stirred for the first time: love
That in the end allowed me to let you go
And in the darkness you left me.
(Inspired by the movie The Phantom of the Opera)
