Look more Phantom poetry and another sestina. That's the style I used for The Choice in Ch. 3. I don't know if this one is as good as that one, but you guys be the judge. Let me know what you think. This poem is from Erik to Christine during the first time he takes her down through the sewers to the lair. Making sure she doesn't leave him or become afraid.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Phantom of the Opera Characters, but I do play Erik in an RPG.
Note: I'll be using the line breaks again so it's easier for you to understand what's going on.
Don't Turn Away
Christine why do you turn from me?
Am I really that frightening?
Please don't turn away
When I say I love you
"Please" I call on begging knees
Reaching out my hand
I offer you my hand
Come with me
Don't make me fall to my knees
The tunnels aren't that frightening
I will protect you
Please don't run away
I see you start to turn away
So I take your hand
And try to lead you
Along behind me
Nothing is more frightening
Then falling to your knees
I watch you fall to your knees
I do not turn away
For it is frightening
Without your hand
Here with me
And me with you
I help you
Off your knees
And pull you close to me
I see you don't pull away
As you notice that my hands
Are no longer frightening
The tunnels are no longer frightening
When I'm here with you
I take your hands
Keeping you off your knees
And once again lead you away
With me
Having you here with me makes anything frightening vanish into smoke
I will never stray away from you my angel
And once again on my knees I place a ring on your hand and say "Be Mine"
What did you guys think? Is it cheesy, beautiful, or confusing? Sestina's are hard to write, because you reuse the last 6 words of each line in the stanza and what might work one way may not work in another. Hope you guys like it though.
