Title: Christine's Masquerade

Author: Gabrielle Day

Rating: G…errr…K? Safe for the whole family, lol

Disclaimer: The Phantom, his mask, Christine, etc. do not belong to me.

Spoilers/Warnings: Erm…maybe minor spoilers for the end of the movie/play/musical…but it might not even be noticeable.

Author's Note: Well will you look at that? A fandom poem happened when I wasn't even looking. :-p Seriously though, I had no intention for this to be related in anyway to the Phantom phandom (haha) but here it is. It turned into what I thought Christine might be thinking towards the end of the movie. I hope you enjoy it! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Christine's Masquerade

Our words break

Like bones upon

The rocks we

Throw them on

We find no

End in sight

To this bitter

Masquerade

You hide your

Heart, I hide

My soul from

Your love, yet

Where can I

Go to flee

This rage, this

Masquerade

You say you

Love me, but

I hardly believe

Words from you

Your music is

My only guide

To this haunting

Masquerade

And now the

Song dies slowly

The notes fade

Quickly and vanish

Your hate has

Overtaken your love

For even me

Masquerade

You have rage

And all your

Songs turn to

Blood and fire

Our end has

Come, untimely but

I say goodbye

Masquerade

I may find

In time I

Have my regrets

About leaving you

But you can't

See beyond the

Mask, beyond the

Masquerade
