A/N: I don't own Twilight or even the song! The song is Cruxshadow's "Edge of the World." So far a one-shot.

In a second's time, I might refrain from breathing

With her hand in mine, something is breaking faster

Through a blackened sky, I see a world unravel

I look into her eyes to see the end

Honestly, what did she expect? I was a monster. And yet she kept saying she couldn't stay away.

She had to. And God, why couldn't I get her to understand that?

In a second's time, the walls swim cold electric

With a tearful smile, she whispers my undoing

"I don't love you anymore." Watching the tears in her eyes killed me. She has no idea the amount of force I have to put to force this lie out. "You were nothing but a cheap distraction to me."

The tears following down her cheeks. "But Edward… I love you." And she crumpled.

BPOV-Forward to Edward's Return

Why did you come here,

Just to break my heart again?
(I walk the edge)

I can't believe he's back. I'm dumbfounded.

But I won't fall for his lies again. I refuse. I will not become a shell of myself, just in case he decides to leave again. Even if it is "for my own protection."

"Fuck you, Edward. Just leave me alone."

A shocked silence. Absolutely incredible. Bella the weak, Bella the simple-minded, Bella the hazard, actually standing up for herself? Of course not. And most of all, Bella cursing? What was the world coming to,right?

But Bella the strong, Bella the determined, Bella the cautious… The "new" Bella, the one Edward didn't know, the Bella he created… She would. So I did.

The emptiness with lies

Pride has raped the sorrowed heart

And stolen what I love,

Though the cut is digging still

How much deeper it could go...

"Bella… I'm sorry. I didn't know… I thought…"

"Thought what, Edward? Leaving would keep me safe? It was to keep you safe, you uncaring, selfish bastard. Stop lying to yourself; stop lying to your family. But above all… Stop pretending that you give a damn about me!"

"Bella, I was lying. To protect you! To save you from myself!"

"No, Edward." Bella practically spit his name at him. "You were saving yourself. From the monster in you. You're terrified of it! I'm actually proud of Jasper! At least he isn't deluded, putting himself on some unbelievably high pedestal that no one else can reach! I figured it out while you were gone. You never cared! I was a challenge to you! You used me to prove to yourself that you weren't an animal. And when you couldn't handle it anymore, when I got too fucking close, when you felt something for me, you ran away. I have no respect, no love, for a lying coward."

With that, I, Isabella Swan, turned away from THE Edward Cullen.

Without a single glance backward I whispered to Edward, "You know, with your and Jessica's shallowness combined, you two would make a pretty incredible couple."

I jogged off, not wanting to make a fool of myself if I fell. I don't need his concern, his pity, his love.

Yeah, and maybe one day I would believe that.

Why did you come here,

just to break my heart again?

(I walk the edge)

Why did you come here,

just to sever my last remaining thread-

Why did you come here,

just to watch me fall again?

(I walk the edge)

Why did you come here...?
