[to the tune of "better than me"... no particular reason, it was in my head... although it does kind of fit the story, when you think about it... hmmm]
i come from a place where the grass is green
and shadows dwell between the twilit trees
no one here knows who i really am
and anyway, who'd believe me if i told them
without you, things look bleak
i may be stronger than you, but inside i'm so weak
some days i pass with the rain
won't let the sun ease my pain
you were there in the meadow
went back there looking for me
i come from a family of beautiful freaks
but no one can tell me what i'm supposed to be
i don't want to hurt you, i'd never forgive myself
but i can't resist you when i can smell your blood
without you, things look bleak
i may be stronger than you, but inside i'm so weak
some days i pass with the clouds
i'll get lost and never be found
you run through the forest
but you'll never catch up with me
the words you said still haunt me inside
they way i could never read your mind
and i just can't recall
a time i didn't love you, a time
i wasn't near you, by your side
and now you're gone
some days i run with the wind
trying to escape who i am
but i can't escape, i'm the monster
i hurt you in the end
you try to follow my way
you try to get me to stay
baby, you're only human
and i hurt you in the end
baby, you're only human
and i deserve whatever i get

time passes. even when it seems impossible. even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. it passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does.
even for me.

This is perfect for Edward. I loved the line "I may be stronger than you, but inside I'm so weak" because thats so true and it really sums up Edwards issues. Really good write, I liked your insight.
-

YES!! Perfect!! EXACTLY what I was looking for! I haven't heard that song before, though. I'll have to go loko it up and listen to it. But it was a great write all the same. I especially love the passage from New Moon in the Author notes.

haha, thanks. the quote is from new moon. guess what... I'M GOING TO FORKS THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm going around telling everyone that... but i'm so excited...
-
-
Yes, I know....about the quote I mean You're going to Forks!?!? Lucky...... I would tell everybody, too. Even if they have no idea why Forks is so special....Oh, and if you see someone that even looks REMOTELY like Edward, TAKE A PICTURE OF HIM!!!! Or if there's any vampires, there, TAKE PICTURES!!! And let people see them!!!!!

oh yeah, and you should check out that song, it's really good, it's by hinder (you'll probably recognize it when you hear it)
-
i really really hope i do... xD i'm gonna take a lot of pictures anyway and i'll probably put them up online so everyone can see them it was really just a coincidence, we were going to seattle and i convinced my mom that we absolutely HAD to go to forks while we were in the state, lol... also la push and port angeles... my mom read the book but she didn't really get it, and my dad didn't finish it, so i'm kind of mad at him right now cuz he didn't like it. lol
