Second Toughts
Erik's thoughts as he lets Christine go with Raoul
Note: I do not own The Phantom of the Opera by either Andrew Lloyd Webber or Joel Schumacher,
nor Gaston Leroux's original work
Christine!
A ray of light
In the Darkness
Of my soul.
Christine!
Tell me,
Why does not my face
Repell you?
How can you kiss me
Without fear
In your eyes?
By what miracle
Have you come
To trust me so?
Go now! Go with Raoul,
While I still have strength
To let you go.
What a fool was I
To ever think
That our love would triumph!
Your Angel of Music
Has helplessly
Fallen.
I shall not be the one
To stain your soul
With the blood
On my hands.
Be safe, dear Christine!
Away from me!
All I ask of you,
Is to sometimes remember
Your poor Erik.
Remember me, my Love.
Remember
That I would not see
The Sun eclipsed.
And that I will forever,
And always
Love you…
