OKAY! This is the last one. Then it's on to new stuff. Thank you to all who have reviewed the other poems. They brighten my day more than you can imagine. Please keep 'em coming!

Characters do not belong to me, though I wish I had Erik so I could give him a great big hug! :=)

The black ink runs

As tears fall on the paper

The angel runs

From the monster's love

The monster weeps

As all hope is abandoned

The angel weeps

As her childhood flees

He turns away

Lest his face cause fear

She turns away

Lost in love and fright

He sits alone

Sobbing in his solitude

She walks alone

Hiding from her choice

And here they are

The two lost souls

The angel just a girl

The monster living in the dark

Praying for the light

That never comes

The monster lost

His life comes to a close

The angel lost

Her innocence is gone

And no one wins

Their heart are crushed

By beauty's fallacies…

The music ends
