Facing My Fate

A poem from Christine's point of view while she and Raoul are rowing away from Erik.



You turned me

You showed me a side of life I never knew

For my blindness reached so far

And you brought me back


You are my Angel

And I forever will remember you

No matter what you may say

I do care


I look to my future, Raoul

And I see how foolish I was to leave you

What if you harm yourself?

What would I do?


My heart yearns for so much more

I don't want to be a wife

I don't want to be a mother

If I can't have you


Raoul is good to me

But you are better

You give me your heart

And your music


I feel as if I should swim back to you

But Raoul would not let me get a foot away

So I'm going to be brave

If only for you and not myself


Im facing my fate

But always remembering

Always loving

Always singing
