This poem is about when Bella and Alice race to save Edward in Volterra. What if the Volturi ordered Bella to die then? Edward protected her and he was killed. That's what this is about.
I Know I'll Wake Soon
Protecting me,
Not saving you,
What would you say, now that you are gone?
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream.
Soon I'll be in your arms again.
But what if that promise was empty, what then?
I know you'll be there when I wake up,
Just sitting silently, because love was enough.
But why does this dream hurt so bad?
Why does the cold shriek?
Why do these tears fall freely?
Why cannot I not feel you in my arms?
The instrument of death smiles freely at his work,
The scythe falls, echoing the screams it took.
Your yells plead through my mind,
Run around my soul,
And remind me of what I once had.
Suddenly I know I'm not dreaming.
Please don't leave me, please don't go,
I begged them to let you stay,
But they answered no.
The scream builds in my chest, the sobs break through my throat,
Of all of the mistakes I've made, and all the sorrys I've wrote,
This was the worst.
Have I not told you to not strangle yourself?
Have I not told you to forget about me?
We would all be happy.
We would all be here.
Now the grass has dried up,
And the sun seems to die,
The instrument comes closer, wearing a devilish grin.
Now I am a wreck.
I cannot say I'm not happy
That I will be next.
REVIEW? I would love it if you guys tried to decipher some of the hard lines and their meanings.
