A short epitaph in Satine's point of view. this is what she is saying from beyond the grave. it is free versre. please Read and Review.

Satine

The "Sparkling Diamond" they called me

At the Moulin Rouge. Every night,

A blur of singing and faces.

Until that one,

A beginning to an end,

But also a new start.

My illness started to take me over.

First, I would cough up blood,

Then, the fainting started.

I didn't know I was dying.

I understand why you didn't tell me though, Zidler.

I probably wouldn't have told me either.

Christian, you were my new start.

You brought out a new, happier me.

I have only one regret when it comes to us.

And that's that we didn't have enough time

To be together and have a future.

You made me realize, however,

That even though I sang about it every night,

Diamonds aren't always a girl's best friend.
