I Am Nothing

by fabiefierce

A poem written from Bella's POV when Edward leaves her in New Moon.

I am nothing.

I am no better than these crooked feet that I drag myself along on.

I am worthless. I am nothing.

I sit at the bottom of the abyss and around me my world is crumbling; I am submerged in my thoughts. Trapped within my own personal hell.

He is gone. He is gone.

I cannot except such an undeserved fate with a light hand but instead with a happy dagger and a heavy heart.

He passes out of my life like that of a star shooting across the night's sky.

And as he leaves behind my pitiful existence, I am assailed with hopelessness and the bitter realization that I am no longer wanted nor loved.

So I pick up my hollow shell and carry on, but with another face. One that does not even remotely resemble the agony that I feel.

I am falling, falling.

My light has moved on, all is dark.

My world has collapsed, everything is gone.

My hands are shackled to the ground alongside my shell.

My heart and soul have followed him, I am broken.

He is gone.

He is gone.

I am nothing.
