Satine-
I held you in my arms,
Your face paler from the light.
I tried to revive your endless charms,
But you told me it's alright.
"You've got to let me go," you said,
But I couldn't put you down.
You were taken to the site of the dead,
And the feelings wouldn't drown.
The elixir wasn't in my tears,
The strength wasn't in my veins.
I couldn't conquer any fears,
I couldn't hold on to the reigns.
The theif who stole my only love,
I can never come to forgive.
For when he took you up above,
I didn't know how to live.
I love you, Satine, my angel,
My life, and my dove.
The knot in my heart cannot untangle,
For that's where you left your love.
I feel your hands caress my cheek,
And I know you're with me now.
I find myself unable to speak,
But I just keep thinking, "How?"
I hear your lips of rose talk,
And my mind gives in to my wants.
I feel that I can barely walk,
And me, your presence forever haunts.
I feel you soft, gentle kiss,
And now I see you clear.
For I followed you through the abyss
Of my single, lonely tear.
Satine…You're with me…Because I'm with you…
