Single Tear- A poem from Christine's POV. She is expressing to Erik that she understands why he is the way he is.
I've had it pretty rough
Depressing and sad
But it hasn't made your life
Any less bad
Your's has been worse
And I truly am sorry
But pity you do not need
Pity is for those who are crawling
The only thing I think about
Is Erik, Erik and me
I wish you could understand
I can't just let you be
But listen to me now
For Raoul may never know
I've made up my mind
And I want you to know
The only reason I ran
Was because it wasn't fair
I was nothing but a singer
Known for green eyes and brown hair
But you were so special
So influential and caring
So now I look past the mask
My spirit truly daring
I find myself caught up
In the warmth of your embrace
I tell you that I love you
And care nothing of your face
You look at me as though
I couldn't be telling the truth
You kiss me as though
You want to share my youth
I gaze at you ardently
And see you with no fear
And down my cheek with happiness
Comes one warm single tear.
