This started out as a song-fic, for "The Boy With A Thorn in His Side" By the Smiths (One of my favorite bands by the way), and I'm not really sure what happened… Please review my debut ficlet!
Beta'd by my cousin, EmpressHimiko... Hearts, girl, hearts 3
This is a good recording of it, http:/www dot youtube dot com/watch?v=BjkMhwNWcbY
I don't own Twilight or the Smiths, (Actually, I think I would rather own the Smiths than Twilight)
The Boy With a Thorn in His Side
The boy with the thorn in his side,
Behind the hatred there lies,
A murderous desire for love,
How can they look into my eyes,
And still they don't believe me?
How can they hear me say those words,
Still they don't believe me?
And if they don't believe me now,
Will they ever believe me?
And if they don't believe me now,
Will they ever, they ever, believe me?
How could they ever say I would hurt you,
Beloved of mine?
Even now, as I caress your hair and cheeks,
Beneath my hands, I feel your lips curled in a smile,
Gracing your beautiful features.
Why would they ever say that?
And when they see the love in our eyes,
And still they don't believe me.
You look like your sleeping,
Your eyes closed,
Your lips in a peaceful smile,
You look like the angel I know you are,
Your wings clipped by mortality.
I almost can't see where the Cullen boy ravaged your neck,
Where the "God Of War" had devoured you,
Ripped part of your throat out,
Where my Volturi clasp rested on your breast,
Where he had partaken of your elixir,
A large burning bite.
For the crime of stealing my mate's mortality,
My guard demanded his head,
And so I appeased them,
And I can hear his screams from here,
His seer wife locked in a room so she would not interfere,
He would live through this,
If my guard did not get over-zealous.
Perhaps.
Poor Jane, she will miss Isabella's human quirks,
Poor Athenodora, she will miss her dressing games with Isabella.
I kiss your hair,
Smelling your freshly spilled scent,
Your body eerily still as my venom runs through you,
The other's sucked out,
Beside me, sit my brothers,
And we wait.
Ah!
A change.
Now your body heaves with clenched breaths,
And I murmur words of sweet comfort,
As my brothers fetch the closest of the guard.
Your blood red lips tremble beneath me in a choked sob,
Your movements now more worrisome to me than your stillness,
My lips meet yours,
And for a moment you sigh in happiness.
It is almost done now,
You do not flail in pain,
Instead your torso twists and contorts,
And for a moment I think of your body writhing beneath me own,
But I push that away from me as my brothers come back.
Athenodora and Jane look on worriedly,
as you let out a wail,
But my brothers and I stare at you like statues of marble,
The others of the guard tensed slightly.
Your ruby eyes flicker open,
And I see them lock on the sunlight streaming through the window.
And I hear you say,
"So this is the beginning of my forever?"
Your head turns to mine,
And I know I was correct to choose you as mine,
And thus,
Now they believe me.
Plus, does anyone know how to add a line space, as in one line of text, a jump to another line, a jump to another line, and then a line of text? I would really like to know
