He laid down the law
His words were clear

Defy his wishes
Someone would pay
No word was spoken
None were needed
The look in his eyes
Spoke louder than words
A murderous glint
Was all that was seen
A flicker of warning
Deaths kiss it did mean
Whose face was this?
Seen just by a few
No-one believed
It couldn’t be true
But the face he wore
For others to see
Was a mask he shared
But not for me.

We’re certainly not talking about the phantom of the opera are we Susan? 😉
Good piece.

Phantoms come in many forms Laurie. I think the Phantom of the Opera might have been preferable. 🙂 Susan x
