Reflections
Erik's POV
I put down the book I already read
I remember the words I angrily said.
I look at the music I wrote just for you.
And I wonder " Erik, what did you do?
You drove away you angel, your love.
She's gone back to the world of light, up above.
Because of your selfish reasons, she will never return.
All that's left is your broken heart, forever you'll yurn."
I turn away from these thoughts and glide to your room.
You hate me now or so I assume.
Why must I be so cold so cruel?
You're gone because I acted a fool.
Your bed is rumpled from were you layed and wept.
I remember how lovely you looked when you slept..
I sit at the burrow inhaling your sent.
I still see you laughing, and in my heart I repent.
I walk back out to my organ, my only solace,
And I wonder " Did you leave because of my face?
How long have I waited for some to care
You did, for a time you were always there.
But then love turned to pity adoration to hate.
Why has God cursed me with this fate?"
Tears slip down my unmasked face
As my music fills the torn apart place.
I open my mouth and begin to sing.
The song of our last duet to that memory I cling.
I loved you, Christine, I really did care.
My voice wavers as I remember the times we did share.
I remember your kiss, im renewed with inspiration.
But you loved the Vicount, a bitter realization.
I know hate is a horrible sin
Yet I hate him, your heart he did win.
I stop playing and sit there and weep.
Slumping over, I drift into and uneasy sleep.
In my dreams I see you and beg for redemption.
I see our love grow and die, a horrid repetition.
Once again I see you thrown to the floor.
Freedom, compassion your love implores.
You look at me hate in your eyes.
You've seen your dark angel, seen threw my disguise.
I demand of you a choice, either way you won't win.
I hear the pity in you voice once again.
I demand and answer, yet receive a gentle kiss.
For those blessed moments, I was lost in utter bliss.
You pull away, staring at me.
What choice did I have but to set you free.
The mobs coming closer, I scream at you to leave.
How could you love me, how could I believe?
You lover pulls you by the arm, back into night.
I sink to the floor, im the looser of this fight.
I hear step foots behind me, a soft whisper of my name.
I turn around you give me the ring, yes I am the lesser hand of this game.
I look up and tell you I love you.
You run away... for the last time, on darkness wings you flew.
Standing up I hear the love you and the Vicount proclaim
I wish you and me could have done the same.
Shaking my head, tears blur my sight.
As I call to the world " Its over! No more Music of the Night!"
Wrapping my cloak around me, I set my mask on my throne.
Walking off in darkness, once more I am alone..
I wake up and realize how much you meant to me.
Yet the pain I caused you, God why couldn't I see?
Can you forgive me? Offer blessed redemption?
Until then all I have are these reflections.
Fin?
