Perfection
Iridescent, twinkling lights and white, downy satin
Freesia, Orange blossom, Lilac, and Rose scents cascading the air
Forceful application of make-up to my face
A beautiful white dress to top it all off
…
A brief ceremony and the party had begun
Recognizing the differences between warm hugs and icy embraces
The realization of a missing wedding guest and the heartache that followed
"It's so nice to meet you" I said with a pained smile
…
Standard traditions, at a not so standard wedding
Elegant wedding cake and bouquets flying high
The customary first dance, as I pathetically twirled around the floor
Blinding camera flashes and a surprise-wedding gift
…
Everything was perfect
Salt-water tears streamed down my new face
Angry outbursts and irrational names said that I would soon regret
Sudden pain in my forearms and pleads of help from familiar voices
My best friend phasing into a monster, what else is new?
…
Irritation as I was thrust out of my fantasy
I felt like Cinderella, when someone yelled "It's Time!"
But I wasn't going to leave behind a glass slipper, how cliché
My whole life was no ordinary fairytale, being in love with a vampire, and all
The most gorgeous wedding a person could ever have
Maternal promises and wishful goodbyes
A tear or two shed
"I'll love you forever" I said to my parents
…
A shower of rice and an adorned "Just Married" getaway car
The last image I saw was my parents holding hands,
So many different types of love, harmonious in that one moment
…
I Love You 3
"That's why we're here." He said with a smile
The faint sound of a heartbroken howl, never registered to me.
But the pain that it left, stayed in my heart forever
…
I thought being married to Edward would make me whole
But it there was still a gap in my soul
And only one person could fill that gap
You have no idea what it is like to be me, to be….
