A Poem written from the perspective of Damon. Enjoy...


BitterSweet

Bittersweet.

That's what we are,
You and I.

Because there are times
When everything is so
Perfect.

So Sweet.

Our eyes meet
—Lock—
Our hands brush
—Grasp—
The paths of our lives
Cross
Again and Again and Again.

There are those rare times when
You take me in an Embrace
And for a few precious
Moments
You hold me
Close.

And everything feels right.

I want you.
I need you, Elena.

And I know that you feel it too.

…But then something ruins it.

You ruin it.
I ruin it.
My self-righteous brother ruins it.

But let's be honest…

Usually it's just you.
Because
You're
The One
Who's
Lying.
And,

Just sometimes,

I can't decide
Whether
I
Love you

…or is it Hate?

The lines between the two are
Blurred.

Because,
Logically,
How can this torment,
This torture,
This desire to
Rip My Heart Out
Be Love?

I see you and it kills me.

I want nothing more than to
Drown Myself
In the blood of
Every
Person
I
Meet.

But I don't.
I won't,
Because I can't.
Not when I imagine the
Horror,
Disgust,
Disappointment
That would fill your eyes.

Cruel girl,
To be so perfect.

I don't think you comprehend…

I want to hide from you,
To never see you again,
Because
Maybe then you would
Stop
Plaguing
My
Every
Thought.

I want to never have to
Hear you say that phrase,

"I Love You."

And feel my heart shatter
Knowing that those words
Aren't for me.

Knowing they never will be.

…And yet…

I would die
To feel the gentle touch of your
Fingers.

I would sell my damned soul
To see you
Smile at me.

I would give anything,
Everything,
To taste your lips.
And I will wait forever,

If that's what it takes,

For you to
See,
To Feel,
That we do
Have something.

It's more than friendship.
It's more than an understanding.

…And it may not be perfect.

It's
Bittersweet…

But it's real.


A/N: This is officially the first story that I've written outside of MY fandom. You see, normally I only write for Yu-Gi-Oh-hence the name BAKURA'S Guardian Angel-but...I've been suffering from lack of inspiration, and Vampire Diaries is my favorite tv show right now...so I decided to take a shot at it. This was the result :)
