Disclaimer: I do not own the Phantom of the Opera. If I did, it would be entirely Erik/Christine.
A/N: My first Phantom phic. Yay! OK, I wrote this of the top of my head. There is a higher quality Oneshot coming soon.
Phantasy and Reality
Choices.
I made my choice.
Shattered a mirror
A mask.
A heart.
Love.
Is love a choice?
I made my choice.
Crossed the point
Of no return.
I see myself
No longer.
My mirror,
My voice,
Lies shattered
On the ground.
Crystal shards,
Distorting
My reflection.
Ground to dust
By time.
To sing again,
To dream again,
To be an angel
Once more...
But I made my choice.
The right choice.
The right choice?
Love I lost
Was only fantasy.
An impossible dream
Spun of song
And cloaked in shadow.
Insubstantial
As moonlight.
A black rose
Whose petals
Must soon fade.
Love I gained
Was solid,
Was real.
I made my choice.
Stepped over
The final threshold...
Yet, sometimes...
Fantasy
Is worth
So much more
Than reality.
The music of the night
More spellbinding
Than the song
Of sultry day.
I made my choice.
Now...
I must bear it.
