the phantom of the opera

You were tortured and caged,
I was trapped and manipulated,
You begged for love,
I begged to be loved,
You wrote your desires and inspirations,
I wrote about my dreams and fantasies,
You were broken,
And so was I.
You had your scar,
And I'm covered in them,
I mourned for you,
I cried for you,
Because I feel your pain,
I felt it before too.
So phantom,
You and I might as well be the same.
