Edward's poem
In recognition of Breaking Dawn coming out tonight I wrote a poem of Edward's perspective from the first time he met Bella. I am planning to make this a really long poem going to the end of breaking dawn, but I am going to write it in bits. I hope you enjoy!
I thought I was a soulless creature damned to my fate
I believed that I would never find my place and wander around in pain
I watched as my family found their love
And I didn't know why I was cursed from above
I hated this power of mine; it killed me to hear their thoughts
I would hear their loving words and their secrets in their hearts
Over time I had learn to accept my destiny
I knew I was like the phantom of the Opera meant to be unhappy
This soulless creature behind this beautiful mask
I was attractive to everyone but to myself I was a mess
I was in a world that kept going on
I went through the motions that forever seemed to run on
Then one day I saw this beautiful face
This beautiful creature's blood seemed to boil in my veins
Since that moment I knew she was meant to be mine
I did not think it could be so I struggled to keep these emotions in control
How can a creature like me be with an angel from heaven?
When I was forever doomed to live in damnation
I did not deserve this new heavenly apparition
So I made a promise to myself to let my feelings go
Because she deserved to be with someone who had a soul
I could not let this innocent girl be the one to fall in love with me
When I knew I was forever meant to be unhappy
The harder I tried to let go the more pain I was in
I would try to leave but I felt that she in my life was as natural as sin
I finally accepted that I couldn't leave her because I could not live this way any longer
I could not stand the desperation inside getting stronger
I would go to her house at night to watch her sleep
It was weird but I just needed to hear her breathe
I needed to know that she was all right
Then there was that one night that changed my life
While she was dreaming she said my name
When she said it I felt like I had a soul again
I had something to live for and everything was new
My being of existence just shone through
Finally my life had a purpose and for the first time I was happy
This girl would be my reason to overcome and accept a new destiny.
