The ending scenes of The Phantom of The Opera inspired this poem. It is from the point of view of Christine.
Tears of hate roll down my face
As the man who loves me threatens the one I love
My teacher, my guide, my angel
Was deceiving me.
To save the one I love
I must spend eternity with this monster I called Angel
If I refuse this monster
I send my lover to his grave
Understanding and pity fills my heart
This monster is just a wounded Angel
He only wants my love
He only wants me
I choose to spend my life with him
Not for my lover's sake
For my sake
For I am just like this Angel
I kiss him
A kiss filled with passion and love
A look of surprise
Crosses his face
He chooses to set me free
This Angel of mine
And as I untie my lover
I hear the Angel cry
As I turn to say goodbye
Black tears of grief
Fall down his face
As he tells me he loves me
I get into the boat
Which holds my other lover
As we leave
I hear the Angel sing
And I know
I will never forget
The black tears
Of his
