A knock on the door,
My heart jumps
Satine, you are there,
My hope,
My love,
My life.
Your eyes,
Redder than your hair,
Turn to me.
"I'm staying,"
My heart stops.
I do not believe
These foul words
Jumping from your mouth.
You say the duke will give you everything
Except you're wrong.
He'll dump you on the street
Once he's had his share of you.
I love you,
Isn't that enough?
So many things
I want to say.
My tounge feels like sandpaper.
I can't say anything.
My eyes fill with pain.
"I must never see you again."
Where have such words ever come from?
My heart hurts so bad
I try to swallow the lump forming in my throat.
Finally I can talk,
" What are you talking about?"
All we need is love, remember?
"What about last night, what we said"
I try not to scream these words at her.
I'm barely able to hold the tears back know.
You turn from me,
Each word you say spearing my heart.
"This is my home."
You say.
But why does it have to be?
The only thing you've been here is unhappy,
Why would you want to stay here?
My head throbs,
I still don't understand.
"There must be something else. This can't be real." I say
You wheeze and cough.
I know something has to be wrong,
What else would make you stay here?
I grab you before you leave,
Appalled at what I'm doing,
But I can't stop.
I need to know what's wrong.
"TELL ME THE TRUTH!"
I scream.
You turns around,
And stare me in the eyes.
You say the truth is,
That you are the courtesan,
And you choose the maharajah.
Thunder crashes outside,
Lightning hits my heart.
I feel like I'm going to vomit,
This pain,
Is so real,
So horrible.
I feel my heart crumble,
Into millions of pieces.
You leave,
Tears fall
And I crumble.
I run to the Moulin Rouge
I scream out your name.
The hit me,
I crumble to the ground,
Letting the rain fall on my face.
Toulouse brings me back to my room.
He says that he knows that you still love me,
I scream at him.
"GO
AWAY!"
He leaves,
but as hard as I try,
I can't keep the doubt from creeping into my thoughts.
I get money
And return to you,
To pay you.
I will know if there is any truth behind your words.
