Say that upon the altar of her beauty
You sacrifice your tears, your sighs,
Your heart, write till your ink be dry
And with your tears moist it again and
Frame some feeling that may discover
Such integrity!
(Two gentlemen of Verona)
PREFACE
The thought of you lying pale, cold
Your innocent smile, your warm flushing cheeks all gone
An honest simple girl killed by a hundred year old
A century ago, I should have been gone
Your eyes will not shine anymore
Your heart been stopped forever
I won’t hear your honey voice anymore
I snatched your soul from you forever
On my chest, your head will no more rest
I can no more run my fingers through your delicate hair
Now I can never hold you close to my chest
To you, my love, I can no more come near

BELLA'S LULLABY
Sleep, my darling, sleep
See how beautiful is this night
After the hour of twilight
Sleep, honey, sleep
You are my life, my existence cause
Only thing that would hurt me to lose
Only one yet to touch my heart
If I had a soul, it would have been yours
Only want to see your lovely face, my eyes
My ears want to hear just your voice
So sleep, my destiny, sleep
See how beautiful is this night
I will hum to you my lullaby
Sleep, my love, sleep
Do you know the most important sound for me?
Is your distinct, pure, rhythmic heartbeat
I only want one thing to see in Alice's mind forever
That me and you are always happy together
Now I know what was the reason
Behind my being the fastest Cullen
So that when you call I am the first to help you
To miss not a single beautiful moment with you
1
My love, if I could ever sleep
Only of you I would ever dream
Can love be this strong that it,
Can make you forget everything?
To cross the non crossable limits
Can it be so divine and lively?
Can love make you defy your nature?
Is it possible that a predator
Can fall in love with its prey so deeply,
That for him the prey becomes his most important thing?
How can you live in the situation
When near your love your dominant emotion
Is to kill her, is to murder her
But when your life is nothing as compared to her
Then becomes dominant your love
On all the other emotions,
You can now live all the time with your love
Even if you have to struggle to control every second
It doesn't to you anymore matter
That you have to struggle to defy your own nature
So that you can be near that beloved one
So that you can stay with your divine one
When life gives you a forever awaited gift
2
How can you not accept it gratefully?
When to your life a meaning is finally given
Making it meaningless again, how can you think even?
When after 90 years, life gives you a single gleaming ray of hope
How can you not cage it forever in your heart, in your soul?
When you are waiting for over 90 years for one thing
And life presents before your eyes that thing for you suddenly
How can you even think of letting it go?
When doing this can kill you, can hurt you so?
After 90 years of loneliness
With your true soul mate you are blessed
How can you even think of losing her?
How can you, even for a second, stay away from her?
Can you ever dare to let go
Your only reason to smile? It just can't be so
Can someone soulless be gifted like this?
Can someone kiss without killing?
His most wanted prey?
Now on this what would you say?
Can someone put his lips to his
Most favorite wine and not drink it?
Can someone ever possibly resist
His perfect brand of heroine?
When he craves to stay
With that brand always?
How can a more than 100 year old
3
With a young girl form a bond
When he has lost his soul
And most innocent is that girl's soul?
The most pure and divine in the world
Is the precious soul of this girl
When she doesn't even know
She is really bonding with whom?
But just tell me at this moment
How can he miss the few most precious moments
For which he has waited his whole life?
When without her, he will simply go wild?
So I won't ever leave you, honey
Sleep, my Bella, sleep
How can the lion save the lamb from other lions
Who are worse than him so many times?
But I know that when more important to him than his life is his love,
When his own life is always ready to be slayed at the altar of love
When he can love the lamb with all his might
Then he can also cross any limits to save her life
Fight, till death, he will
And if he has to, he will kill
I have traveled the whole world,
It used to look so vast before you
But now my own personal world
You are my whole world to me,
Only you are everything to me
4
Not years, decades; I'll love you till eternity
Not years, decades; But I waited for you an entire century
You don't know how it has tortured me but you
Are worth all the wait that I had to go through
I wandered far and wide to know why I was living
For this I searched every corner of this planet
I was lost in a frenzy of meaningless life,
It made no sense; I was living why
I found you... I found myself... I found the meaning
Now my life makes sense to me
I just existed like a flame extinguished
Then you made me all bright and full of spirit
You revived all the desires and wishes
Buried deep inside me
Revived the deep buried humanity in me
After you I felt more human, more living
To any sort of happiness I was blind
But now with you I can see all with your eyes
I was inert to the sentiments that bonded people
But now I can feel the abstract emotions
So sleep, my life, sleep
You are the true love of me
You gave the life to me,
So sleep, darling, sleep
5
Just for you I am living
Just for you I am breathing
You look so beautiful sleeping
Like an angel I am dreaming
As long as I live
No one can harm you
Because in fact, I only live
To love you, to protect you
I will never let tears fill your eyes
I will give you happiness so divine
That you will forget all the hurts
There will be just peace in your heart
Isabella Marie Swan, I promise to love you forever
You are the only one to live in my heart ever
So sleep, my darling, sleep
See how beautiful is this night
After the hour of twilight
Sleep, honey, sleep

EDWARD CULLEN’S
STORY: TWILIGHT
“YOU ARE MY LIFE NOW’’
Dying of Spanish influenza
I was in a hospital
Mom and dad, dead, ah!
There was no hope’s sparkle
A doctor came over to me
An angelic face he had
With a warm smile he said to me
You are not gonna be dead
He sank his teeth into my neck
Currents of pain flowed through me
Except pain I don’t remember anything back
Just screams and agony accompanied me
Thus, a century ago began my new life
My soul lost, I became one of the damned
I had been changed by Carlisle
I was the new member of the Olympic clan
7
The thirst burning my throat weakened me
I fled leaving my creator all alone
Drinking human blood strengthened me
I had become a monster on the whole
I found something strange with me
I heard all that people were thinking
Hearing their thoughts led me
To kill only those who were deserving
My life was all empty
There was no peace
I could never be happy
To hell I was destined
Tired of wandering alone
I rejoined my family
Nothing about me was humanly
An alternative Carlisle provided
To support my existence
Only animals now I hunted
Some peace returned to my conscience
Our family expanded
We were now seven
But my heart still waited
For you; my love, my Heaven
8
I was all alone
Then the future indicated
You were coming to fill the hole
That in my heart existed
That first day, that first sight
I remember it so clearly
From you skin the perfume took flight
I was almost maddened by agony
My throat burned
I had never felt such thirst
My control was challenged
I had to get away from you first
In a single moment
I could destroy
Every single effort
Made by Carlisle
I left my family
How weak I was, while
What were you to me?
Just a weak human, so fragile
So I decided
To face you
I decided
To endure you
9
So I came back
With you I became friend
But your mind couldn’t be read
So the story doesn’t end
You were an angel
Next to me so delicate
Like a soap bubble
Wandering on grass blades
Then I saw the van about to crush you
I couldn’t wait, I had to stop it
In my head saying, “No! Not you!”
I pushed the van away; lifted it
You always surprised me
Your thoughts so unique
They always impressed me
They made me happy
I didn’t want to put you in danger
My secret I didn’t want to reveal
But you deliberately came near and near
To the extent my secret I could no more keep
My secret was worked out by you
I was essentially a selfish creature
But I could never risk your soul
I could never put you in danger
10
That was the start of our forever
For a century I hadn’t heard my heart beat
What do you live for, when you can live forever?
Simple; it was just you I wanted to keep
My heart was the target
Your arrow found it
Beginning of magic
Your love started
Your smile brightened my life
Your heartbeat made me sigh
Your warm, flushed cheeks, your big eyes
Your beauty made me watch you throughout the night
And so the lion fell in love with the lamb
I have left my heart with you
You gave me life when I was damned
Now I belong only to you
You have become the only thing
That would hurt me to lose
My world is only existing
Because your heartbeat is so pure.
