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
