Edward's Confessions

by ilu   Aug 15, 2008


There she was sitting as her cheeks went red
With the blood in her veins that made my throat dread
As she flinches when I touched her for the first time
I heard her heart flutter when her lips touched mine

All the unwanted voices inside my head seemed so near
Why couldn't I hear hers when it was the only thing I wanted to hear?
Her eyes with that beautiful shade of brown
Her scent, so fragrant, enough to make me drown

Every night I watched her sleep
Hearing words come out of her lips
The sound of her quiet breathing was music to my ears
As I hum her lullaby to keep away her fears

When she was out of sight my heart turns gray
Every minute that she was, I wished she didn't have to go away
As the blood rushes under her skin every time she's blushing
I wished I could see the reason behind it

I didn't imagine I'd ever felt this way
Even though I knew that in the end I would have to pay
Years and years of walking with her kind
Yet, until her, no one has ever touched my life

When the night finally closed over me
I imagined her dream that I long to see
Then, ever so lightly, she whispered my name
I watched her face and said, "Because of you my life wouldn't be the same,"

    "There she was sitting as her cheeks went red
    With the blood in her veins that made my throat dread
    As she flinches when I touched her for the first time
    I heard her heart flutter when her lips touched mine"

    Amazing word choice here, really drew me into this whole poem.

    "Her eyes with that beautiful shade of brown
    Her scent, so fragrant, enough to make me drown"

    Seriously, these are two beautiful lines! Great rhyming and flow.

    "Every night I watched her sleep
    Hearing words come out of her lips
    The sound of her quiet breathing was music to my ears
    As I hum her lullaby to keep away her fears"

    Well put. Everything you say in this poem, is just like Edward and Bella. Great imagery too.

    "I didn't imagine I'd ever felt this way
    Even though I knew that in the end I would have to pay
    Years and years of walking with her kind
    Yet, until her, no one has ever touched my life"

    ^Well expressed emotions and feelings here, very sweet.

    Overall you did amazing! Really, I felt like I was reading Stephenie Meyer's books. I really enjoyed this, you have some wonderful talent, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Keep writing, always and forever...
