A/N: Hello everyone. This one takes a little bit of explanation. I beta a story called Lovegame by moneybeet. It's a wonderfully dark Twilight AU and I am absolutely in love with it. There's a link to moneybeet's profile on my profile. I'd been feeling inspired by her story for awhile but didn't quite know what to do with that feeling. Then the video for Heavy In Your Arms by Florence and The Machine came out. I will post a link to it in my profile. The video felt like a perfect accompaniment to Lovegame and it inspired me to write a poem inspired by the both of them. I didn't post the poem here but then the other day I saw that ffnet actually does have a poetry category so I've decided to go ahead and post it. All of this is with moneybeet's permission by the way. Eventually this will actually be a fic of her fic. I know that seems odd but I've already started writing it and will be working with moneybeet closely so that she approves.

All characters property of Stephenie Meyer (even though they're not actually named here yet) and no copyright infringement meant against Florence Welch. Normally I would say that my poetry is copyrighted however in this case I'm not sure that would be right. So I guess at minimum I would say that if you decide to repost it somewhere please credit me? That would be nice.

Reviews are love and we all need love. Thanks for reading.

I am a dead weight in your arms

I am the weight of love alone

Unreturned

Unremitted

In the serenity of trees

The peace of sun through leaves

My body lies

Cold and beautiful by your hands

I lay flowers at your feet

The curve of you in my arms

The slant of your calf in my palm

You are a blessing and a curse

You are a dead weight in my arms

You are the weight of love alone

Unreturned

Unremitted

I am limp

I am stone

I will carry you down

Till you are nothing

You think you have won

You think you are so clever

But my feet have left tracks upon this ground

You will be found

You cannot erase me

I am the ghost upon your tongue

I am your dream within a dream

A flicker in your memory

I have no face

I have no heart

I carry you under the boardwalk

Where lovers sing sweet lullabies

I am dressed in my finest shoes

I am wearing my finest hat

When death comes to your door tonight

You will let him in

I am shadows on your skin

I am bruises not quite done

I am the tear in your dress

And the twist of your wrist

You watch me sleep

You watch me sleep

You watch me sleep

You are shadows on the wall

And a whisper of unkissed lips

You are the one who creeps through corridors

And doesn't make a sound

I watch you sleep

I watch you sleep

I watch you sleep

I am a shadow on the wall

I am a whisper of unkissed lips

I am the one who creeps through corridors

And doesn't make a sound

You cannot know what is coming

You cannot understand

I am the shadow on the wall

And I will not make a sound
