Falling Apart

By: The Phanatics

I don't know much more of this life than I did before the Angel of Music came into my world, to bring back the music and my voice.

Tonight a choice was to be made.

I look about his cavern of sorrow and see my Raoul; tied to the gate against his will…with the Punjab lasso around his neck.

'You try my patience; make your choice!' he sneers in my ears and only mine to hear.

But I saw the fear in his eyes, the fear that I would choose him, but that maniacal look for the killing was there also.

What could I do?

I was falling apart at the moment.

There would be no turning back at this point, and Lord knew what laid ahead for me and Raoul, my one true love.

I shall admit, I did love my Angel once…but that was a long time ago when I hadn't known much about the world.

All I cared about was my Angel of Music coming to me.

Raoul would hate me for this and all I could do was mouth to my love; I love you.

Those words were none of what my Angel had heard in his life.

I never even knew his name, but I would know soon enough.

At that moment, I lost all feeling in my feet as I forced my self, in the brilliant white wedding dress, to him.

The water was cold and I told him, 'You are not alone…'

My lips touched his and it was the first real kiss I had with him.

I have been kissed before, but never with one that had as much passion.

But Raoul had my heart, and yet I chose to stay with him.

He let us go, my kind, loyal Angel.

I never saw him again after that.

That kiss was the greatest ones of my life.

I still love him, like the mentor he was to me.

The Angel who made me who I am today who taught me of love and passion…

Wishing he was somehow here again, I cry for him every night.

I guess the falling apart part didn't truly happen until after the choice.

I can't do much now.

But he will never see the tears I cry again.

Somewhere in all this,

I hope the kiss I gave him will be with him always, like my mark on him to let all those know that under the mask is just a man.

A simple, talented, lonely man…

Where is he now?

I may never know.
