Forever Knight
I looked into your eyes
Your demonic red eyes
And saw a strange new life
One I, Bella Swan, longed to live.
I've touched your skin
It felt as cold as ice
As my fingers roamed
I felt a deathly chill
Your lips touched mine
For a fleeting moment
Soft, cool, and gentle
I felt raw desire
I've heard your velvety voice
Beckoning me to follow
And in a strange and eerie way
I felt your deep dark pain
Again I looked into your eyes
And felt safe
With your eyes aglow
Your smile captivates me
You spoke of your life
Your eternal life
I was saddened
By your silent plea
I felt as though
You were asking me
To join you
In your eternal life
As you spoke of this life
It intrigued me
I was suddenly aware of
Wanting a forever with you
You carefully embraced me
Being sure not to crush me
And evoking a burning passion
Making me aware of my mortality
Your eyes skimmed over me
Stopping to glance at my neck
My pulse quickened
I approached you
You could have been
In front of me as quickly
As a passing breeze
You began to withdraw
As dawn approached
You bade me to say goodbye
To life as I knew it
I longed to comply but
Was frightened by the unknown
You promised to come for me
When was unknown to me
I watched the sunrise
Over the horizon
I was in awe at the sight
The birth of a new day
Dawning with beauty
Through new eyes
I wandered through the city streets
My final human journey
Wondering what is to come
As the sun set in the west
I was captivated by the spectral colors
As I said goodbye
Life as I knew it would
Soon be over
You approached after sundown
And asked if I said goodbye
Nervous anticipation
Kept me from answering
Without waiting for an answer
Your lips touched mine
In a kiss so gentle
As your lips grazed my neck
And before I could object
Your teeth sank in
Darkness took over
And the burning commenced
Three days of pain
I felt as though the torture
Would never end
My heart beat sped frantically
Slowly slowed
Sputtered
And stopped
My eyes opened
Everything was clearer
Sounds were louder
Taste more pronounced
Then without warning
My throat was on fire
Only to be quenched by
The crimson elixir of life
BLOOD
My love, my heart, my life
You have given me
The gift of eternal life
Forever young and beautiful
As we embark on our new life
I say to you
With the voice of an angel
Now that I am like you
In this, our eternal life
Only you, Caius Volturi,
Can be my forever knight
