My Story, My Pain, and My Hope

Disclaimer: I don't own Edward Scissorhands

This is my first Edward Scissorhands poem. I normally do poems about the Nightmare Before Christmas, but I wanted to try something new. I'm sorry if this poem is a little weird. Please R&R. and if you want, please check out my Nightmare Before Christmas poems entitled "My Unwanted Future" and "Sally's Wish" and review them.

Now for the story.

Nobody knows

The song I sing inside

For I'm a memory now

In darkness I must hide

You ran away

Because everyone hated me

And I knew you belonged there

At home with your family

I deserve this

To be locked away

There are too many differences between us

But in my heart you will stay

Even thought you never heard it

And I never said it too

Ever since I first saw your picture

I have always loved you

The first time we met

It wasn't love at first sight

You started me with your beauty

And I gave you one heck of a fright

After finally settling in

And hours of makeup from your mother

I went to the mall one day

And saw that you loved another

He wasn't the friendliest

And never the best to me

But I didn't care as long as you loved him

And you were happy

Then I was on TV

I knew you were watching

I wanted to say "I Love You"

But the result was rather shocking

I robbed a house

Of somebody I knew

When you asked me why

All I could say was "Because you asked me to."

There was the angel

When I looked down below

You were smiling and dancing

Covered in snow

Later that night, I'll never forget

When you asked me to hold you

And I said "I Can't"

You realized this was true

After I killed Jim

Because he tried to hurt you

My final word was "Good-Bye"

And yours was "I Love You"

I thought my heart had stopped

When you said those immortal words

You left forever and eternity

And from another I never heard

I found out I never age

I will go on as long as time will

But until I have you back in my arms

My world will remain still

Many years will pass between us

And my desire for you will grow

You will live on

And I forever will make the snow

(For my angel dancing below)
