You had nothing to live for
And neither did I.
The one difference being that
You tried to die.
I felt that I'd lost the one
Life that I had.
I couldn't find reasons to
Ever be glad.
I tried so hard to learn to
Live without you.
But there was no more to say
Nor left to do.
My life was so lifeless, and
Everyone knew.
What could I live for now
If not for you?
Then you came back, I knew
I now felt whole.
Raw jagged wounds no more
Covered my soul.
No hole bore its scarring way
Into my chest
The pain that had held me just
Gave it a rest
My life had a purpose that
Would never die.
And thanks to that purpose, now
Neither would I.
Author notes
Yeah! I finally managed to write a new poem. Being a twilight fan (though I read a ton of other stuff too) I had to have a poem that was twilight inspired. It is from Bellas point of view when Edward came back. I was honestly kind of ticked at him for leaving, and felt so stupid for being so depressed for the entire first half of New Moon. It was good anyway though. Sorry if that poem makes no sense. I finished the series, and trust me, wrestling through new moon is worth it.I'm kind of rusty, and feel that I could have done much better with twilight as a prompt, but this was the best I could do.
Haha months later looking back on older stuff. I can see the improvement, and looking back think this is pretty poorly written, but I like it for some strange reason. Tried to do a little edit, but the form is extremely limiting. There's too little rhyme. I'd love to change the rhyme scheme to abab, but that would change the poem way too much. ah well, maybe some other time.

It's all rhyming stuff. I can read and like other poetry that doesn't rhyme, but won't allow myself to.

Don't know anything about the books, but love this poem! It's just beautiful...imagery, flow, rhyme, the lot!
Thanks for sharing this and all the best in the contest,

beautiful words from someone so young.
though im not familiar with the story you mentioned i enjoyed reading this piece!
-
Awww I love it! It's sweet, expresses Bella's feelings well. Yah I'm definitely an Edward fan XD
-
Its a lovely polished write. Though when I was reading it, I thought you were referring to a friend's suicide attempt. In terms of twilight and relationships; beautifully expressed...though I'm not sure who Edward is lol- which is making me laugh.
.......and I absolutely loved the last stanza
-
I was pretty depressed to when Edward left and was throughout the whole book even after he came back until I knew he would stay! I actually cried through half of it!!!
-
Awesome
i thought this was a great write... i could figure out immediately what you were talking about and the pain that came with it... dont worry about it i was depressed at the beggining of new moon too... but i still love edward... anyways good luck and i think you should do great! -
-

it sure is dark without a moon
this is a great write no worries mate... it's a little too on the giving up side for my taste .. but sometimes by letting go all gets done.. some deep emote here.. and thats always good also pretty good take on the prompt here .. i am not so good on the fly when trying to mold to a prompt so i give you props .. keep up the great penning
-
