I stared at the new girl from across the room,
The aroma of her skin, hair, and blood
Driving me into insanity,
I concentrate on her face,
She is gazing at me as well,
Maybe at all of us –
Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice,
Or maybe it was just me,
That is what I intend to find out.
I bore my eyes at her own,
Concentration is becoming hard for me
With her aroma burning at my nose;
I ignore the scent and continue.
Within the time of eternity, I come up with nothing,
I cannot read her thought as I read others.
"Impossible," I say to myself and try again, only to fail.
I run my tongue over my teeth, tasting my venom,
Knowing that if I lost control, I would kill her.
I wasn't willing enough to take that risk.
