Hate you for saying it made you think of Phantom of the Opera? Not at all. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It's time to rest my child,
To sleep in ebony sky forever.
Your day will set, the eternal night coming.
We weep for you not for mourning but envy.
Separated from the plague of fear for your doomed existence,
You only need dream forevermore and forget.

A corrupted mind, a jaded soul
Deigned to lay in the abyss eternal
The parasites of the mind took hold
Into the darkness they fell, into oblivion
Their efforts were for that aim
All to take away what had been given up
Ropes, razor blades, poison, devices unnamed
Yet at some stage each tool of annihilation failed
Now the war drums beat again
And the battered husk rises to battle
For a cause as thin as the evening mist
Still, for once there is no regret
The denouncer is calling upon faith
Embracing a blindness in order to see
Will there be glorious victory, dreadful defeat
As long as this combat rages none shall know
A personal war with highest stakes
Light and shadow warring in heart and mind
Casualties are only just starting to mount
The final engagement of attrition has begun

Certainly one of my favorites yet, and not only because I can understand it more thoroughly than most.

And so that moment comes to pass again
Timely tradition that so few can do
End of an era, end of an age
For age does indeed end us all
The young are born and the old die
Blood calls to blood, earth calls to ashes
The withered veterans give their final salute
The new recruits begin the climb anew
As the ancient statue crumbles, so shall new ones be raised
It is the nature of time and of progress everlasting
The wise step down, the deluded wait until they are forced
To fade away or stubbornly attempt to outlast the inevitable
It is never the same, not for any nor all
This moment is never sought but is unmistakable
And so it has come time before it shall come again
The old and jaded make way for the young idealists.

A creature of shadow and mist
This is what I am and shall always be
Publicly tolerated yet secretly reviled
This dislike of what they don't know
Unfair yet I cannot fault them
For I envy some of them, none envy me
When I turn to dust what will they say
Good riddance, or perhaps nothing at all
Is it worse to be remembered badly or forgotten
I don't know, I won't know
Such things are beyond my scope
For I am merely shadow and mist
Intangible, discomforting, unknowable
All by itself yet never alone
Appearing mighty and dreadful, but it is not so

A heart of ice encased in warm flesh,
Even in the overbearing sun my breath is frozen
Falling to the ground in crystalline beauty
Blackened blood flows from icy veins
All such things that you cannot truly understand
Each violent glare, every hateful word spoken or not
For all of your spirited attempts you don't know the first thing
In order to hurt me, you have to numb me to the pain
You fail to realize what I am and refuse to see the obvious
My flesh is that of scars, I already lost more blood than I can pump
Eyes that are even now mirrors into the void of you
The likes of you can't kill me, for I am a void above a mortal
I am patient, biding my time until ready to strike long and true
With heartache of lost love, crushing guilt of choices made
Upon you I place the weight of crushed dreams and despair of dead hope
I have no soul, no pride, no hope and I curse you with my life
And for you who have never acted against me, only wishing to help
I lament for you as my curse spread to you as well though I wish it not
My ebony blood is poison most foul and your embrace has cost you all
Alas, were it not for me you would be among the happy and able
Fortunately nothing is really eternal, all things inevitably are destroyed
And the world shall lose one more worthless soul, one less drop in the bucket
Yet in the end it matters not, all is nothing and nothing is all
I am nothing, you are nothing, and together we merely play alone in the shadows

I walk cloaked in ebony flame
My glare colder than the deadest void
With twisted machinations and clock of ages I see
Biding is over, it is finally time to begin
You scratched me, I'll slash you
Bruised me? I'll break you
Went to harm my heart? I'll gore yours from your chest
Scarred me? Don't worry, I won't let you bleed out
I am justice, vengeance, wrath
The spirit of righteous harm, violence dignified
Neither holy nor human, I am simple but beyond your understanding
Your wrongs will come to my scales, and you will pay your due
I come with fire and ice
Blades and chains
You cannot stem my tide
I'm coming for you all.

I am the shadow of the night
A shade of nightmares long forgotten
The vanquished tears once shed
I am terror.
I am eyes of hatred
The dark dragon who longs for firestorms
Your blood is the salient my fury longs for
I am wrath.
For each insult I curse you
Every wound is a knife in your back
Any trespass mirrored upon you in time
I am vengeance.
You seek to forget me, to not have to see me
For you know that I have no mercy, no quarter
That payment will be taken from you when you don't expect it.
In my hollow, soulless eyes you see the blackest form of justice.

By all means, people can comment and express their ideas/concerns/feelings how they wish. I would be wrong to deny anyone that.

I did laugh, even if I at first thought of the wrong name for the character. (for some reason I thought his name was Duckwing)
*shrug*
Besides, there is some small comfort in placing my darker side in a constructive manner. Even if it is a destructive construction. One of the reasons I don't tend to make lighter poetry honestly. I don't need a place for lighter ideas.

(This next one is a massive work in progress. It isn't done or anything near so. At this point I'm not sure how I want it to go. Most of this probably won't be here come final version, so this is very rough and incomplete.)
You can tell me everything, I will never judge
Even if you hated me, I wouldn't ever hold a grudge.
Need you to scream, or just a shoulder to cry
Trust me to simply hold you in my arms, never asking why.
If I'm needed I'll be there, I promise not to tarry
I'll brave whatever darkness, and bear any weight to carry.
For you are my brightest light, and should never wane
And for this I will take my stand, regardless of the pain.

My mind feels like its gonna blow
and when it does you're gonna just want more
Cause when I go, its time to run
The tempest insanity's gonna grow
So you see I can't sleep, can't stay awake
I see all the haters that are gonna hate
Night, morning, day, I just can't stay away
Well, I'll just stay here and give what you take
Angels and demons got a hold on me
Want to be good but just to crazy
Bitter, annoyed and just gonna kill em all
In the end I'll be the only one free
Trough the ashes of my mind
I brave the ice and blaze the fire
Everything's gone but nothing's lost
Wasn't ever sure what I hoped to find
So here I am back to where I began
Brain ready to blow, ready for the show
Full circle here I come, you ready for me
I hope you are so you'll fight like a man
Time is up, mental-bomb's ready to blast
If you haven't left yet, watch me explode
Take a taste, tell me what ya think
Then see how long your own mind can last
