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!

3. What I Cannot Have

What I Cannot Have

I want you

I need you

If it didn't matter

I'd have you

But you mean so much more

Than that to me

I want to be the one to make you happy,

Yet I can't

I don't want it to be someone else,

But it is

Why is life filled with opposites?

Maybe if I never loved you,

I would have you.

Yet it would mean nothing to me then.

So what do I want?

Do I really want you,

Or do I want

What I cannot have?

This is my second one from Erik's point of view. He contemplates if he really wants Christine or if he only wants the impossible. I think this one is better than my first one I did from Erik's point of view. My second favorite so far!
