A Collection of Phantom Poetry

by Christine Lennoire

This is a collection of sweet, sappy, angsty, and thoughtful poems I wrote about the Phantom. Instead of making a new story for each of them, I decided to compile them, since some of them were so short. Lots of EC and a little CR... LITTLE!

1. My Angel Among Other Things

My Angel Among Other Things

I could not imagine finding someone to love me,

More strange and wonderful than you,

Who burns and yearns to be

So much more than just a human man.

Yet it is that man that I fell in love with,

Not the angel, although it is true,

That though you are man,

The angel I know is still part of you.

Angels are not just heavenly creatures,

For they are people, too.

I would have never known true love, or angels,

Had I never have fallen in love with you.

You are my angel,

And you are my man.

You are an angel,

And a man with his feet firmly planted on land.

You are my sweetheart,

Yet you are the devil.

You fill me with sweet longings,

Yet you scare me with evil.

You are my angel,

And you are the devil.

You are my sweetheart,

My one and true man.

You are first and foremost,

My angel of music,

And at the same time you are

So much more to me than the sum of those parts.

This is my first, actually, and it's from Christine's point of view. She reflects on Erik being so many things to her, more than just a man, but that he is limited to being a man. I think it's really sweet, even if it does sound a little confusing, the way I described it. It's my favorite so far!
