Illusion

My angel, my reason

The only one I thrive for

Oh, how it is treason!

Her life is worth more

Than to be sentenced along

With myself, the demon

How it is wrong!

And that is the fateful reason

To draw myself from the center

The core, the beauty

Why do I feel the traitor?

Why can't my mind and heart agree?

Yet the longing burns

I long so much for her!

And so, the demon learns

He can't live alone, never

My non-beating heart throbs harder

I don't need air, why can't I breathe?

I long for her pardon

It is my final request, please!

Then her face appears in my mind

Her pale skin, her dark hair

Her beautiful eyes, one of their kind

And I can only stare

At the illusion before me

Her stunning beauty, her perfect smile

The illusion is all I see

And the monster I am, so vile

Yearns for more, to touch thee

As my pale hand grasps the air

Hoping a surface shall break there

No surface shall break for me,

"Bella."
