Disclaimer and Author's Notes: "For the Love of God" by Joe Satriani, Eric
Johnson and Steve Vai was the inspiration, but it does not by any means fit
the tune of the song. I don't own it, and if I owned the Phantom of the
Opera I sure as hell wouldn't be writing these little fics (I'd have better
ways to spend my time, hehe)!

Told from multiple viewpoints. If you have to set it anywhere, put it in
the final scene of ALW.

"For the Love of God" by AngelCeleste85

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

For the love of God,
Christine,
When will you see
The damage you've done
To my heart, my soul,
The walls I built so strong.

For the love of God,
Christine,
When will you see
The man, not the monster
The man who loves you
More than life itself

For the love of God,
Christine,
When will you see
Everything you mean to me
More than music - listen!
More than vision - see!
Your choice to love or kill me,
But set me free, I plead!

Do I ask too much
Christine?
A miracle,
My Venus, my Angel
I beg for your love,
For the love of God!

For the love of God,
Phantom
Let her go!
For God's sake, let her go!
You hold her against her will
She loves me, beast of darkness!

For the love of God,
Monster
Give her peace!
Let her make her choice!
What can you offer her
Except an early grave?

For the love of God,
My choice!
Dear Erik, dear Raoul
You make me choose
To hurt one of you!
For the love of God,
I do not want to!
I cannot!

But for the love of God,
I must.

For the love of God...
Why?

What do you think? My very first attempt at PTO poetry and I know I'm
nowhere as good as some of the other writers here (Phantom Aria, case in
point!), but let me know what you think!
