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!

5. Loneliness

A Collection of Phantom Poetry

Poem 5: Loneliness

I feel loneliness

Waters of loneliness

Washing me clean

Of this horrible mess

All the things I had

All the things I lost

They are bad

Slowly they heat me away

Lights from the end of the tunnel

Frighten me with hope

I don't want my heart to be stolen away

There's no way I can cope

Without her

Loneliness consumes me

I feel her

But I cannot see

She leaves me breathless

And leaves me alone

I am deserving

This is my mess

I shall clean it up

Cleaned - by the waters

Of loneliness

This is about Erik taking the blame even if it is with bitterness in his heart. He accepts his faults and says he will make everything alright by letting Christine go, and living in loneliness for her sake.
