A/N: This is stupid, it just dawned, and it's not the style I usually pick up to write poetry. Just wanted to try it, well, here you see the result. I guess I'll stick to my own style. (Isn't that a crysis of identity?)

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Summary: Madame Giry talks to Christine about her lies.


Lies between Grey Halls


So cold and grey

The Opera shines

Into Giry's bright eyes

Christine frowns foolishly

And glimmering the triumph is

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Madame," her voice yelles,

"I am strong, I beat his love away.

From now on I am free

Of his face

And am to be loved again."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"My foolish thing," Giry replies,

"how little do you know.

Erik is the dearest creature

In the world.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He loves you more

Than his own life

And you dare to spit on him?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You play your childish games?

You sing for him

And lie and astonish

The moral truth in all these halls?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wasn't it you, my dear Christine,

Who sang for him all day?
Who gave him lovesongs

To sleep well?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You lie, and he can see.

I feel him cry, you foolish girl,

Hoping for one look of yours."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Christine gasps, and cries, and yells,

"Madame, why do you lie? My biggest

dream came true tonight

Raoul loves me. He does."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So, Giry is frowning

Tired of the naïve mind

Playing tricks on Christine,

"My love, if you don't make him smile

I'll do.

And maybe, one day,

He will see,

That I can do it

Much better than you."
