Spoilers: Don't read if you haven't seen the movie lol.

Disclaimer: I own nothing and I'm not claiming to. This is just an original work inspired by a movie.
Summary: About Satine during the Sparkling Diamonds / Elephant Love Medley area of the movie.
A/N: I'm really not sure how I feel about this one. I've rewritten it A LOT lol and I'm still not sure it's right. I really hate not having my poems rhyme and not writing in triplets, but I suppose I can't do that forever lol. This is actually potentially for a contest on one of my forums, so please let me know what you think. And please, try to be constructive, even if you hate it. Flaming isn't going to help.

Descending from heaven

To dance with the devil

Fiery curls frame porcelain skin

Bloodstained lips and innocent eyes

A thing of beauty

She tempts dark desires

The brilliant actress

Filling every man's dreams

Her voice fills the room

And echoes in the streets

Lost in her song

The audience of sinners

A sparkling fantasy

Teases their eyes

The star of the night

Their temporary toy

They buy her love

Then leave her behind

None of them know her

None of them care

Through sequins and smiles

Only one man can see her

The girl in a cage

Who dreams she might fly

If she gives him a chance

And lets herself fall

At least in the daylight

This love could save her
