Twilight
still, a gut wrenched
mixture of intensity
grief and deep joy
a juxtaposition of us
I was like Bella
you, my Edward
and I wasn’t afraid
in my dreams
I soared in my heart
till my heart stopped
diving into sorrow
my Edward morphing into Aro
*
I still believe in Twilight
even in your blatant disregard
I had my fairytale
Lady Jane had her way
shredding my heart in two
over a thousand years it would have killed me
tucked away under your tongue
under my breath
where everything moved
so bittersweet
*
I still believe in Twilight
although it is all I have left
of you
