I am haunted by your steps
Yet your valliant love for me grows stronger still
And, while I run from you, I willfully surrender.
I am followed by your eyes
Yet, while I am scared, I cannot run away
I want for you to hold me close and love me tenderly.
I can't find it in me to escape
So you draw me closer with every touch
My blood rushes forth to embrace my darker side.
I am frozen by your touch
But, at the same time, I burn with desire
Longing to hold you in these arms forevermore.
Your lips are as cold as death
But I cannot bear the thought of being away from you
I want to protect you; to me, you're so much more.
You are distant and so cold
Yet our blood burns with the same black fire
That lets our darker fantasies run free.
Your soul is filled with evil
Yet, as your lips embrace mine, I cannot hate you
I can't help but want you; you're so much more to me.
I am haunted by your steps
Yet, by your undying love, I am bound to you
Consecrated to the shadows of this place.
The shadows of your heart that hide your face...

I love this poem! I've seen The Phantom of The Opera and you did a phenomenal job! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your works. Great job and keep them coming! It was surreal reading your style of work!

Job well done. I liked this one. It really epitomizes the intimacy that can be found in relationships. I think that you are doing a great job. Very descriptive and I must say that I liked the imagery that you used (gustatory, tactile, visual, auditory). Great job. The imagery contained in this really lovely syle of writing was so refreshing. I like the pattern of the stanzas. i think you did an outstanding job on this poem. Another magnificent poem to your collection. thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work. Best of wishes to you. good luck in all that you do....peace always in all ways.

not as great as you said it was to be honest..but ok

hmmm interesting i never got the perspective that christine loves the phantom i know it would be cool if she did because quite frankly i love the phantom, the way i view it its more she just feels sympathetic and fearful after she see's what he really is. However if she did love him this is a great poem highly descriptive of her feelings. so all in all a good poem, i also love Phantom of the opera and the book of it as well. well done, keep writing

"i can't help but want you, you're so much more to me." that brought the most to me here. brilliant. vibrant.
