In Love with an Immortal

Weak and tired, I beg to return home;
Not to be trapped in this feeling forever;
No longer here shivering, left all alone.

Your beautiful face haunts my dreams,
Stirring me, enticing me to run to you.
Everything isn't as it easy as it seems.

Although time alone erases what it can,
Sometimes not everything has to disappear.
Scars left behind were part of your plan.

Your never-ending light once set me free.
We soared the forest together, ran away;
Free of any nightmares that came for me.

Now that welcoming light seems so distant,
Trying to remember your stone chiseled face.
I've begun to believe it was all nonexistent.

The memories make it difficult to tell
Myself you're coven is no longer around.
I curl up, storing it all inside a shell.

With my arms I clench my hole tight,
Compacting all the pain trapped inside
I don't want to bleed anymore tonight.

My voice calls your name in the night,
Knowing the worst had already come.
He then scared them away without a fight.

Defeated, the heavy tears began to fall.
A warm, strong finger wipes them away.
He takes care of me like a porcelain doll.

I listen closely in my broken heart,
Where the voice will be remembered most,
I'll always have you, till my death do us part.

In my times of idiocy, I wait to hear;
My body cannot help but chase your voice,
As it screams at me; filled with fear.

Though your angelic voice remains inside,
Echoing constantly through my empty mind.
Your being here all along seemed just a lie.

During my sleepless nights brought on by you;
I fight to resist the pain anymore.
My severed heart as been torn in two.

This new warmth comforts me, awakens me;
Drug me out of my familiar sea of dark.
Is this how the ending is supposed to be?

    Of course, twilight. This is good. Just write something about YOU next time. I love twilight, just the books by themselves though.

      Well, you did say anything, so I'm sorry that it wasn't specifically about 'me.' Thanks for the comment, though.

    I really like this. It read like the book in so many ways even though it was shorter. I could feel from the poem what I felt from the book. Thank you for the entry thank you for sharing

    Wow...this is beautiful!! I love how you take the reader from Bella losing Edward to finding Jacob. Your rhyming is great, it doesn't sound forced at all. You can pratically feel the pain that Bella feels when Edward leaver her. I would recommend that you put [Bella & Edward/Jacob] in the author's notes so it doesn't clutter up the title, but that is your personal preference. Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest!
