I received a request to write an "Esme" poem, so I did. I hope you like it. I think it actually turned out very well. I must have had some kind of writer's block before Jasper's poem, because these have been getting really fun and easy to write.
Esme Cullen
I am a loving mother, a wonderful person; kind, and caring, and welcoming
I wonder why my husband had to be so cruel, why I had to lose my baby
I hear my screams as I fall from the cliff – they resemble those of my lost child
I see the poor, lost life of my darling child and long to escape the pain
I want another chance to love and care for that which I lost
I am a vampire, bound to live forever with Carlisle and my wonderful children
I pretend my new family is the one I should have had all along
I feel overwhelming love for Carlisle – the gracious man who saved me
I touch the lovely, pale faces of each of my new children
I worry I may never be able to love my new family properly
I cry in memory of my lost child
I am the mother that should have been, years ago
I understand Edward's loneliness during the decades of being single
I say his newfound love is a good one and Bella is a wonderful person
I dream Edward will find a new, wonderful happiness
I try to support him in all his choices, encourage him to do what he thinks is right
I hope they are both happy and will continue their lives in contentment
I am content with my new life, and happy with the second chance I have been given to love and care for a family
