Reaching Without Hope

by CrazyCatLadyomgiluvcatssomuch

This is another poem I wrote for english class. This one can be either from Bella or Edward's perspective, and it takes place during Twilight when they each think that they're not good enough for one another. Enjoy!

Reaching without hope

My palms press against the barrier of glass,

I stare longingly at your precious form;

Sitting amongst satin, above my class,

Diamond like, glittering, beyond the norm.

A rose blossoming under the sun's rays;

Your beautiful petals appear silky,

I reach out to you, but thorns block my way;

My fingers not harmed, but remain chalky.

You hang above me, not within my clutches,

Your round fruit form too high for me to grope,

I know I'll never taste your sweet fruits,

But a fool I am, reaching without hope.

Though I will never have you as my own,

I am blessed, if only to have been shown.
