My Dark Fate
I slowly slip into the dark with her,
She stays by my side although she'd rather hide.
She doesn't run nor try to fight,
In her heart, she has found true delight.
She doesn't have to look beyond the dark
She sees me and loves me regardless.
She sees behind the mask and still loves.
To know my dark fate and yet stay,
She would have to be a saint, and I believe that,
With all of my heart
With every new day I learn more.
In every new way, I'm stronger than before.
My heart, it grows light, as if it could soar.
However, my mind is wise and I keep my feet,
Firmly planted, on the floor.
My dark fate no longer scares me,
For if she goes to see it with me,
I know she'll return some day, with me.
To see the dawning of a new day, and a new fate.
And perhaps this one will be better.
Maybe I'm not doomed to forget her,
Living in emptiness.
Maybe I'm just doomed to wait another day,
Until she makes up her mind,
And goes with me, or leaves me behind,
When I go to face the day,
My dark fate…
There's little to explain here. Erik is brooding about his 'judgment day', which he refers to as his 'dark fate' because of his life and the way he lived it. He wonders if Christine will accept that and descend with him, into hell to help him through it, and maybe live with him to another life, where she might be able to save him, so he could ascend with her to heaven, or, if she would leave him for good, to rise up into heaven. One of my favorites! Hope you liked it! Hope to write more soon!
