Disclaimer: Baz Luhrman the talented owns Moulin Rouge, not I.  Aww...what a terrible shame.

A/N- I've never written any MR fics before this, and this is my brave and foolish first attempt!  Cheers!

"I Still Need You"

Alone and cold, I reflect upon you

Satine, the diamond; the light of my dark life

Your bottomless blue eyes drawing me inward in my thoughts,

I think I might fall into Hell

I need you, don't go

He paid; he took you

The Duke owned the Moulin Rouge, and you were next

But I needed you, Satine

I always needed you with me

Did you need me?

You go into the darkness and I feel the warmth fading from your body

Good-bye, Satine

It's too late; there's not time to live and love

But, there is always time to die and despise

Terrible that our love was destroyed by a man and the icy grip of consumption

Satine, I say farewell,

But I still need you by my side.
