The Angel

by just-call-me-Elphie

A poem I wrote about Erik. It pretty much sums up his life to about the beginning of the movie. Then, you all know what happens after that.

Lost child,

plunged into your hell.

Lonely boy,

brought up to kill.

Wretched man,

you serve only yourself.

Poor soul,

may your anger never quell.

What has the world done?

Just repeat another sin.

Accepted by not a one.

Who could ever love him?

Bright eyes,

shining only at night.

Fierce hate,

proving your might.

Living shadow,

brings you to harm.

False flames,

helps you spin your yarn.

What has the world done?

Just repeat another sin.

Accepted by not a one.

Who would ever love him?

Young girl,

lively and winsome.

Sweet spirit,

she can always hear him.

Angel's voice,

draws him to she.

Such chastity,

in her he can see.

What has the world done?

Just repeat another sin.

Accepted by just- ah, one!

Does she really love him?
