This poem just struck me after finishing the book.

The mysterious voice coming up from the vent told me to write it...

^. ^

If only Erik lived in my basement. Then would I *ever* have something to write about.

Enjoy!

****

If you could see the world as I do

If you could hold my hand

If you could just walk with me

If you could lead me

From this broken land



If you could give me answers

If you could hold me dear

If you could

Turn back the pages

If you could just

Forget my rotting leer



If you could only love me

If you could just

Give me a chance

If you could let me take you

Let me take you

Into my deadly dance



You would know that



There's nothing here for me now

Nothing more to see

There's nothing in my world

Anymore

Just my haunting fantasies

There's no one with you

In the garden

There's no one teaching

You to sing

Just the promise of tomorrow

Tomorrow and your Angel King



You used to see me as your Angel

You saw me as your love

I'd granted you all you desired

With powers seeming

To come from above



But you saw right through me

You ripped off the mask

You saw the beast that hid beneath

You heard my frightening

Evil laugh



If you could let me love you

If you could just

Give me the chance

If you could let me make you

Someone

With the whole world to entrance



You'd see that



You're all there's for me anymore

You're all I need to see

Nothing exists

Anymore

But my melancholy melodies

I am with you in the garden

Teaching you to sing

I'm your incentive to see tomorrow

And so I stay, your Angel King



What if you knew it ends tomorrow?

What if you'd never heard me sing?

What if you loved that boy forever?

What happiness would all that bring?

There's still no Father in the garden,

No birds to softly sing.

Not even that small comfort

Not even your hybrid Angel/Thing
