Bella for Edward

I toss and turn at night

Unconsciousness is not in sight

Only because my mind is in overdrive

Thinking about him… Edward.

Sleep finally claims me

But Edward is still all I perceive

I love him so much

For it is his inhuman charisma

That has entwined my mind, body and soul.

I lament and admire that Edward is a vampire

And a vampire he shall forever stay

Whilst I am Bella, human and weak

Bittersweet feelings course through me

Because my love for Edward is requited

But for both our sakes the love must be kept at bay.

The next day, period four

Right after trigonometry

Just before gym, I have biology with you

Next to you

I inhale your sweet personal scent

And my dull human eyes drink in your unnatural perfection

The closeness of your cool skin chills me

An original and pleasant affliction.

Classroom lights are out

Boring mitosis slides show

Our two bodies strain

Not to reach out to each other and flow.

My silent breathing is ragged

As I tense my tired muscles

Edward you are so different

You do not breathe at all.

Offensive lights suddenly flick on

Assaulting my ordinary human eyes

Your own golden eyes demand my attention

And lately I've learnt to read them

Right now I re-read the love in them that we both know

The love you hold for me.

I reach my arms out forward

I tilt my head towards your face

But as you feel your own head dip toward mine

You force yourself to pause the pace.

Whenever this happens it always brutally reminds me

Your achingly beautiful soul

Can never be paired with my plain one

And then you're gone, resisting a glance back

I hate this, despise it so much

Passion for you runs through my veins

I want you so badly

But reality always comes back to bite me.

Hey people, this poem was actually written for my English class. We were allowed to write poems based on other texts, and this human/vampire love struck me. (Plus it was the only thing going through my mind at the time.)

I guess I added sadness and remorse for them not being able to hook up, even though they do in the book.

I know it's a bit sad… but I hope you all like it anyway.

(Plus I hope I get something along the lines of a level five from my teacher for this poem!)

Anyway, a little review would be much appreciated :)
