Live for Me

Thump, thump, thump.
That's the sound your heart makes
When I'm near you.

Pop, sizzle, crack!
That's what I hear and feel as I hold you
When our skin touches.

But then...as our world comes crashing down...

Drip, drip, splash, crash!
That's what I hear towards the end
When the cup falls from your hand.

CRACK!
That's all I hear through your screams
When your spine breaks.

SCREEECH!
That's the sound of the hard skin makes
When I use my teeth to help bring our child into the world.

Huh, huh, huh.
That's the sound our daughter makes
When she breathes for the first time.

Thud...thud...thud...
That's the sound your heart makes
When it starts to slow.

And then, finally...

Thump, thump, thump.
That's the sound your heart makes
When I plunge my venom into it.

Another poem, another day…This is a little onomatopoeia poem that I wrote at 2 o'clock in the morning this morning when I couldn't sleep… It's Edward describing everything he hears to Bella when their semi perfect world comes crashing down when Renesmee's sudden and violent birth occurs…
