Here are several freestyle poems about how Eragon and Saphira secretly feel about each other. There will be several poems for each of them. The title of each poem reflects the person who the poem is about, NOT the one who wrote it.
NOTE: I've only read book 1 so if there's any inconsistencies, please bear with me. I've tried to be as general as possible, but there still might be something.
Eragon
Eragon…why do you continue to search?
The love you seek is directly in view.
Must you constantly look the other way?
Must you try to make something work that cannot?
Your love is waiting, still waiting for you
To realize the truth
Of how much I love you.
Do you need a compass?
Perhaps a map?
I'm still waiting for you
To find me.
Time runs out Eragon.
Take it before it's too late.
We live a dangerous life.
Who knows how long we have?
I know you love me
Who cares if it's wrong?
We only have one life to live.
Take me and give in to the inevitable.
Regret is a terrible thing Eragon.
Do you really want to regret
Never expressing your feelings to me?
Saphira
Saphira…I've tried
To look away
To deny my desires
But I cannot be swayed.
No other will do
Saphira, I love you.
Our creators made
A terrible mistake
By not making us
The same …
Only in death
Can we truly be one
So let death come
To both of us.
I will not fear it
Neither will you
We'll look upon it
With open arms.
Only in death
Can we both soar.
Saphira…I want to
Fly with you forever.
Eragon.
Over the years, I've called you a friend.
We have many duties and responsibilities.
You've been there for me…
through all the dangers, trials, and good times…
yet I feel so far away from you.
I've been good.
I've controlled my feelings…
but I can't do it any longer.
I know we're different…
but I want you to know something.
I love you…In more ways than one.
Maybe it's wrong.
Maybe we'll go to hell for it…
But I'd rather spend a moment in hell with you…
Than eternity in heaven without you.
I don't expect you to return my feelings,
But if you feel the same way…
Show me your true feelings tonight
We don't live forever.
Who knows how long we have?
But I know you love me.
I've read your heart.
Give in to it Eragon.
End our suffering…
Saphira
Brom was right Saphira.
Without you life really isn't worth living.
I've realized that.
You already know I love you.
What you don't realize is how deep that love goes.
I don't need anyone else…
I don't want anyone else…
But you I need.
Saphira, my love for you is eternal.
I know it's wrong…
And you probably don't feel the same way…
But I really…truly…love you Saphira.
I can't force myself to love another.
I've tried.
I can't escape the truth…
Of how much I love you.
I wish I could tell you…
But I don't want to upset you.
I know if I asked it of you…
You would give yourself to me freely,
But I don't want to receive your love out of sympathy…
I want to receive your love because you feel the same way.
I wish we were the same.
Perhaps in the next life we will be…
But for now, we'll just have to suffer.
I guess we'll never get to be with who we secretly desire…
