Poem about Christines Dilemma in Phantom of the Opera
POINT OF NO RETURN
That voice which I hear
So soft, warm and kind
Could it be he?
Has the angel of music
Finally arrived?
The voice vows to give me lessons
But then he asks of me to
Never marry anyone
And to love only him
If I were to pursue the lessons
But can this promise be kept?
However this creates a problem
My love for Raoul is irresistible
But to loose the angel forever,
Who my father swore I would be taught by
Only once he went to heaven.
After tricking me into darkness
His voice began to horrify me
I realize then that this angel
Is also the Phantom of the Opera
He seizes me and puts me on a boat
Covering my mouth so
No one would hear my screams.
What was I to think?
After hearing murder cases
Involving the phantom,
What had he in store
For me?
Inviting me to his layer,
Assuring that I am safe
As long as I don’t touch his mask
That hidden faces identity
Simply too tempting to not
So I tear it off.
What is to happen?
He says now I may never leave
For once I have seen his face
I must be his wife and live with
His hideousness forever.
With great audacity
I say if he gives me my liberty
I will visit him on my own will
I lied at my best convincing him
That I do not care how he
Look under his mask.
He kidnaps me on the day Raoul
And I planned our escape and gives
Me two options…
To turn the scorpion wheel meaning
The phantom and myself
Would get married and live a normal life
Or the grasshopper wheel which would result
In Parris being blown up and everyone would die.
This freighting angel
And his love for me
Will it be Rauel and death?
Or marriage and life with the
Phantom of the Opera?
