Title: Is it Easy for You?
Author: Skye Aerrow
Genre: Angst/Tragedy
Characters: Erik- the Phantom of the Opera
Summary: A Phantom of the Opera one-shot poem. Is it easy for you/ To kiss me like that?/ To drive me to tears/ And then leave me to die alone?/ Is it easy for you/ To hear me declare my love?/ To swear endless devotion to you/ And then watch yourself ravage my heart?
Skye Says: This is only the fourth poem I've ever written and the first one I've put on here, so please let me know what you think.
Is it Easy for You?
Is it easy for you
To sing like an angel?
To lure and ensnare me
And then have nothing to do with me?
Is it easy for you
To say you don't care?
That my deepest feelings
Mean absolutely zero to you?
Is it easy for you
To deny that you do care?
To lie and tell me
You don't want to stay?
Is it easy for you
To kiss me like that?
To drive me to tears
And then leave me to die alone?
It is easy for you
To watch me suffer like this-
Hidden in the catacombs,
Wasting away in eternal night?
Is it easy for you
To see me hide behind my mask,
Ashamed of my deformity,
Ashamed to face the world?
Is it easy for you
To run off with a vicompte
Who may love you now,
But will leave you in a few short years?
Is it easy for you
To hear me declare my love?
To swear endless devotion to you
And then watch yourself ravage my heart?
It is easy for you
To see me like this-
A broken man,
A ruined soul?
Is it easy for you
To just up and leave me
When I need you the most,
Even though you know I will die?
Is it easy for you
To drop the ring back into my hand
And run off with his arm 'round your shoulders?
Is it easy for you
To laugh carelessly and gaily
As a violent agony
Pierces my fragile heart?
Is it easy for you,
My angel of destruction,
To watch me fall apart like this?
Because let me tell you something:
It isn't easy at all for me.
Skye Also Says: I wrote this after watching The Phantom of the Opera again. Can you guess whose side I'm on? Hint: It isn't Raoul's.
