What'll I Do?
A poem from Erik's thoughts shortly before Christine leaves.
What'll I do?
I almost see the dark cloud growing
Overcasting the love I feel for you
And the love you MUST feel for me
But what'll I do
When that cloud comes to claim what is rightfully mine
When the rain begins to pour down into my lair
And the sun is swept away by that cloud?
What'll I do when they hunt me down
And you are taken from me?
What'll I do when the one person who ever thought I was beautiful
Is swept away by darkness stronger than that which has caused me to murder
That has caused me to threaten
That has driven me mad
What'll I do with a memory?
For a memory can fade
But I never want you to fade
I love you so terribly
What'll I do alone in this darkness
Your voice gone
And my music abandoned
For you alone can make my song take flight
What'll my music do?
There will be no music
Instead only darkness
And misery beyond imagination
This is my disaster
So Christine, tell me
What'll I do without you?
