A/N: This is just a poem I wrote one day when I was supposed to be writing a paper on Catcher in the Rye. Its a great book but just not as good as Phantom. What can I say? I'm obsessed and am always writing short little dribble's of Phantom related thoughts. This is the firstI actually finished though so please read and review! Hope you enjoy!

How Long?

How long has it been

Since I last heard my Angel?

His beautiful song

That made me come alive

How long ago was it

When I was forced to make that fatal choice

Between the enticing light and the monstrous dark?

I chose the day, for who would desire the night?

But now, after so many years

I yearn for the darkness my Angel offers,

Wish for it to envelope me whole.

I have grown weary of the day

How long must I wait

To see my Angel once more?

To feel his soft music caress me,

To know I will never be deprived of him again?

How much longer must I remain

Exposed to the superficial light of day

Which keeps me from my sweet Angel

The light that I once loved, now only gives me pain

Oh, how I hate the day

How I desire the night, how I need it

This world that I have grown tired of

Holds nothing for me now

So I have decided, I will join my Angel

I now choose the glorious night

I will depart from the day

Never to feel the warmth of the sun again

Not long, not long now

Will I be reunited with the Angel whom I love.

I can feel him ever drawing nearer

As I leave the harsh light of day behind
