A/N. Re-upload due to someone hacking in and deleting everything. Please review, this is my first go at poetry, so please forgive the many flaws. :]
Alice POV.
You took my hand,
now here we stand
Let me tell you my past
and I promise I will be fast
Your eyes are unclear
but I know your in fear
I beg of you, please
-Don't let go, Jasper-
Let me put you at ease.
/
I woke up alone
Everything was unknown
I was lost in a nightmare
In the middle of nowhere
Everything was wrong
And there was this pain, It was so strong
A thirst so torturous
A fire raging furious
/
I got up too my feet
There was this sent, so sweet
indescribable in words
It was all so absurd
I was uncontrollable
Consumed with desire
Obsessed hunger vampire
Needing to cool the fire
/
I found the source, I was smiling in anticipation
Not thinking twice, only following temptation
They were intoxicating, delicious
I pounced, strong and ambitious
The fire was dulled, the thirst
It subsided, though my lips, they were pursed
But my head was cleared
Realisation: I was a beast to be feared.
Backing away into the night
Everything Technicolor, so clearly in sight
Confusion struck: My name?
I think id of rather became a victim of the flame.
/
I was wondering, forever
Trying to piece together
The puzzle of my existence
With no help nor guidance
Then you came too me,
Your eyes; a silent plea
A broken solider, afraid and alone
But then you vanished; I was left on my own
/
I was different, divine, flawless
though I still sought solace
Pure and strong with
Unconditional beauty, I was a myth.
I became dark, lost and forlorn
My heart, it felt torn
Only clinging to the memory
My saviour; my remedy.
/
I spent days, weeks
My moans and my shrieks
Of pain unheard, I begged
Arms wrapped round my legs
I longed to be held, caressed
Then they came, the crest
The coven, Jasper I saw them
The family of Gems
/
Oh jasper, they have eyes of golden
They don't murder, I swear, I was beholden
Animal blood, is what they feed on
That's when I came out of my foetal position, and into the sun.
My skin came alive, it was covered in sparkle
Though my eyes were still dark, dark as charcoal
I marvelled at my beauty, and began to spin
The first time that year, I was able to grin
/
I saw you, everyday
It sounds so cliché, but you took my breath away
Being from you, I could not cope
You filled my heart, you gave me hope
You were in perfect clarity here
From your passion for shake spear
To the scars on your jaw;
everything I saw.
/
I waited for you, you are my fate
I would of waited forever, you'd never of been too late
When you took my hand, when we touched
It felt like an explosion, I felt so much
It flooded my mind
And sent shivers down my spine
If I could cry, I would
Tears filled with joy, oh just your presence feels so good
/
Ill drop to your feet and plead
For your word you will never leave
Il do what you say,
If you promise you will stay,
Il make you a vow
-You arm is round me now,
Which I'll take as a sign-
Il be yours and you can be mine.
/
I will love you forever,
I have from the start,
And I will love you forever with the whole of my heart.
/
Jaspers POV.
I'm dangerous, and what you said,
What are you thinking, Kid? It's delirious
The shit that I've done,
You're just a fool not to run.
You see my scar here?
You should be shaking in fear,
You say love me, yeah, I bet
Darlin' you aint seen nothing yet.
/
I was born Eighteen Forty-Three,
Major ma'am, in the confederate army
That's when they came to me,
Three voices in complete harmony.
Inhumanly beautiful, I fell into a trance,
Lost in her charm, I longed to give her a chance,
Though everything was screaming at me to run,
A race for my life, no guesses who won.
/
I was hit with a pain, so ominous and vast,
Convinced that every breath could be my last,
My body convulsing in death throes,
I was swallowed in black, while my heart ached with woe,
And then it began, it began as a spark
And that spark spread, illuminating the dark,
My throat was on fire, intense and furious,
And then I was consumed in hunger, thirst, now isn't that curious?
/
The skies were dark when I opened my eyes,
Though in the atmosphere, still lingered my cries,
Maria was her name and she led me to feed,
A bloodsucking freak being driven by need.
As daylight grew nearer
The beauty got clearer,
I couldn't say no, when she held out her hand,
She condemned me to death, so why was I stuck in her command?
/
The angst in their eyes, made me fear my temptation,
I despised myself, always craving that sensation,
I was being driven insane,
My mind feeling their pain.
You see, your not the only one with a curse,
I'm always drowned in emotion, with no hope to immerse,
I can even manipulate, cause your emotions to shift,
Maria, of course, sought after this 'gift.'
/
Her desire, shit, it was a whole new feeling,
I longed to be close, my soul slowly healing,
Killing Lucy and Nettie, it was just the start,
I did what she asked; she had control of my heart.
She began to use my gift, my militaristic mindset,
Training the young, forcing me to repay my debt
And after a year, I had to set them free,
Killing them fast, before they could flee.
/
Come on, look at my scars, you see right here?
Don't look away, don't wipe away that tear,
You Love me, right?
Don't hide it, I can feel your fright,
Look at me, I'm a hunter,
There's no way you belong with me, you terrifying little monster,
You can't deny it, don't shake your head,
Your world is white, mines painted red.
/
Alice, the evil which radiated from the beings around,
These same beings which used this world as a battleground,
Maria became obsessed; she became consumed with greed,
Ordering me to kill whoever disagreed.
Year upon year, which merged into none,
I became savaged, horrified at what I had done.
The conflict on land, could not compare
To the war in my heart, I was full with despair.
/
Peter, my savour, I owe him my life,
My soul was frozen but he melted some ice,
Three years together, before he asked to escape,
How the could I keep him from her and his fate?
A repetitive cycle of slaughter and gore,
Ravenous newborns, I could take it no more,
I felt their pain, their fear, their sorrow
Drowned in depression, I didn't want to see tomorrow
/
His eyes, filled with faith, filled with light,
I didn't even think before bracing for the fight,
His gaze, it was penetrating my soul
And he was radiating... a feeling so whole,
It was so exhausting, Alice, just being,
Sounds ridiculous, but you'll never get what I was seeing,
Peter told me it didn't have to be like this,
The life he described, it sounded like bliss.
/
I left right then, sick of her game,
I played for so long, I was sick of the shame.
Coming out the shadows, into the light
I became florescent, I glittered and became bright
And my scars came alive,
How the hell did I survive?
Covered in markings, crescent and fine,
Alice, it looked murderously divine.
/
I stayed for two years, before taking my leave,
I needed space, I needed time to grieve,
Screams of victims gripped my heart,
I owed them so much, but it was time to depart.
I walked with no direction, and ended up here,
The further I went, the more I felt clear,
I found a feeling I could not identify,
And it led me to you. God knows why.
/
I'm sick of this rage,
Need to break out of this cage,
The chains she has, wrapped round my heart,
I'm Gonna tear them up, gonna smash them apart,
The eyes of golden, Al , cut the crap,
Its impossible, Is this some sort of trap?
Don't mess with me darlin', or you will get hurt,
If lose my control? You'll be crushed into dirt.
/
Oh by this, this is like a dream,
You've stayed here with me, no cringes nor screams,
You hold my hand, after all that I've said,
Your insane, why haven't you fled?
Darlin' why in the world, I have no idea,
But you feel so complete, so full of cheer,
The longer I'm here, the more I crave,
Could you be the one to free me from my cave?
/
But I promise you now, and this is my vow:
I'll be your protector.
Living life as you have foreseen,
I'll free you from pain,
I'll be your morphine.
You lost your mind, Kid, how the hell do you cope?
Don't let me go, don't put my hand down,
Because for the first time in almost a century...
I feel hope.
Review please. Constructive criticism too, please, I want to get better at poetry :)
