Shattered Memories
(Narrative Poem of the Memories of Christine Daae's time in the Opera)
Who knew this life I live in could be so painful?
Scarred memories and shed tears are all I have left in my life
The teachers like witches and strange rumors in the night
Whispers of a monster and a voice of heaven
The death of a father and shattered dreams
The reminiscences of my Angel of Music is now a haunting fear
His sweet voice yet scarred face kept me up at night
Wondering if my father sent me a demon or a misunderstood man
The love of a lost friend and the jealousy of a vague stranger
Are the causes of my nightmares of a terrible night?
My life with a prince but moments of a mysterious stranger
What makes myself whole but also makes me feel broken
The one who keeps calling my name
Yet what can I do but pick up the pieces?
Sometimes it's better coming out of the ashes singing
But what if he comes calling you back…
