Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Twilight, I just write about them.
This poem is based on Edward's thoughts behind deserting Bella in the beginning of New Moon. I think it's very interesting how he sees himself in a completely different light than Bella and the rest of us see him. While we see a Godly hot vampire, he sees a soulless monster. I tried to capture that side of him here.
Monster
Monster. Freak. Nature's error –
I plague the earth, a walking terror
I never deserved someone like you
You don't deserve the all pain I put you through
Perhaps it'd be best if I wasn't here
Putting you in danger, bringing you fear
Maybe I never should have given in
Never have sucked you into my world of sin
I won't force you into a life of dark and cold
I can't let you risk your immortal soul
For a monster such as me
No matter how I look at it, I don't belong
My manner of survival is simply wrong
It's murder I commit each time I feed
Others must die for my most basic need
Even humans on the street sense my danger
And know better that to approach this lovely stranger
But Fate would have you deviate from the rest
Putting my control to the ultimate test
So that is why I must set you free
Back into your world of normalcy
Where monsters don't exist

Please review and let me know what you think. Constructive criticism would help a lot. Also, I'm having difficulty coming up with new poems so if you have any suggestions for future themes, I would be glad to hear them. Thanks!!
