When I First Saw Your Face-
A poem from Christine's POV. Special thanks to PhantomAria for your constant reviews and undying support, your work is truly inspirational and heartwarming yet sad and down to earth.
The beauty of life
You never got to know that beauty,
For it was snatched from you
The moment you were born
The beauty of your soul
You always knew how to love me
Even when I saw a stupid little girl
With dreams of stardom
The beauty of your music
I would listen to you sing to me
And I would feel the pain
And sadness you were venting
I could see that you longed for something
But I never knew what
Your face
Stupid and incorrigible I stole your mask
The one salvation you had known
Yet the one curse you had hated
I felt my breath leave me
As I stared at this angel's face
The wonder of your love
Yet you loved me nonetheless
You were willing to spend your life with me
And willing to forgive me
And to forget all else
The goodness of your heart
And even though I deceived you
And stole your reason with a kiss
You let me go
And you loved me to your dying moment
And as I sit here watching my children play
I'm glad
Because deep down
I loved you too
