A poem that was inspired by Edward and Bella in Twilight.

Since it's a poem, I do, in fact have exclusive rights to it, no matter where the inspiration came from. Plagerism is not cool.


He watches while she sleeps

Listens to her breathe

Her scent assaults his senses

Scorching him down to his very soul

He's never felt this way before

Is unsure what to do or say

He knows that he should leave

That he could never be good enough for her

Yet he cannot stay away

Can no longer survive without her presence

Nor can he tell her these truths

So he watches as she sleeps

Wonders what she's dreaming

Wishing he could touch her

Afraid that if he does

He'll destroy the life they both hold so dear

And so he keeps his distance

Hoping for a miracle

As dawn begins to touch the sky

He takes one final look

Then steals away into the dark

And in the silence she still sleeps
