Well, I didn't win my poetry contest. None of the twelve poems I sent won. Oh well. I hope I do better in the Phanphiction Reader's Choice contest. Will everyone who reads this please vote for me! The link is www (dot) freewebs (dot) com/phanphicawards. Hurry, voting ends this Wednesday.
Anyway, this poem is actually a song. I just haven't set it to a melody yet. But it will be written in its lyrical form of 'verse verse chorus verse chorus verse'. Note that the chorus, marked with an exclamation point, is two stanzas long, so the one with the asterisk and the one after it make up the chorus. As for the interpretation, just let me say that sometimes I feel very similar to Erik in the way I live my life.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Shadow surrounds us
I pull it close to myself
No one realizes we are here
We don't even see each other
Darkness of night
Do you sense me here?
I know you are there
Standing beside me
! But nobody seems to notice us
Your all-seeing eyes can't see me
I want you, I need you,
But I am alone
We have been exiled from light and life
Deep in this pit of sorrow and tears
They hate us, they shun us,
So we are alone
And even here
I long for your touch
I feel you, barely there
Are you watching me?
! And nobody seems to notice us
Your all-seeing eyes can't see me
I want you, I need you,
But I am alone
We have been exiled from light and life
Deep in this pit of sorrow and tears
They hate us, they shun us,
So we are alone
I need you, but you don't know me at all
You also abandon the world above
Remove your mask, show me your face
You aren't alone…
You are never alone…
As you vanish into shadow
I will follow…
