Disclaimer: I don't own Phantom of the Opera or any of the songs that I may parody here, but each and every one of these poems is mine. Please respect that.
To hold everyone over until I can begin an actual fic (I have several in the works), I will be posting my Phantom inspired poetry (which I write in the hopefully-well-known white spiral from The Hate of His Life). Most I didn't realize were Phantom related until I'd poured my emotion out onto the paper and then reread it. The first few I have entered into a poetry contest and may be published. I'll let you know if they win. :) This one has a pretty dull title, and isn't really my favorite. Keep in mind that I'm harder on myself when it comes to poetry. Also remember that my poems almost never rhyme. Does emotion rhyme? Heheh.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Spirit, darkness shrouds your face
I am darkness
Is it I who conceals you so?
Forgive the cruelty of man
Their minds are small
They cannot understand a soul like yours…
I want to love you
I understand you
Why do I turn away?
I hate the world for abhorring you
I hate myself
Open your heart to me!
I sing my sorrow and joy for you
My soul is yours
I want to be one with you…
Forgive us all, we know not what we do
Please, let me love you
Your song is my life, don't let me die.
"Holy angel in heaven blessed,
My spirit longs with thee to rest…"
