Favorite Quote:
&quot;Writing eases my suffering. It&#039;s my soul&#039;s medicine. I write when I hurt. I write what I fear. Writing is my form of personal freedom. I write to save myself. I write to survive as an individual.&quot;<br /> ~Amor Magner

You are Rosaline.
You are the definition of cast aside; ‘gotten rid of’.
You are the one to whom ‘Love and be loved’ does not apply.
You are the second choice.
You are the erased mistake.
You are the forgotten first love.
You are the melody in the back of one’s mind.
You are the forgotten rose wilting in the corner.
You are the night in the shadow of the sun and stars.
You are the Phantom.

© Lauren R., Edmond, OK

The author's comments:
This is an analogy between the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera and Rosaline from Romeo and Juliet, and how they were both cast aside by their lover's, and replaced.
