New Moon Poem

New Moon Poem
Bella’s Point Of View
You took me to the forest, and said you had to leave
Your face was so solemn, but still I did not believe
I said I must go with you, but you ordered me to stay
You said you didn’t want me and you had to go far away
You said this was the last time I would ever see you
You kissed my cheek and walked away, was it really you?
Why would you leave me? You don’t love me anymore?
You said you didn’t want me; it shook me to the core
I stood there in the forest and whispered “he’s gone”
I fell to the forest floor in tears; I tried so hard to be strong
I lay there until nightfall, crying and shaking from the cold
You left me and never again would I see your eyes of gold
I found a friend in Jacob, and he healed the hole in my heart
He held me all together when I felt I would fall apart
I started hearing your voice, when I put myself in harms way
I did dangerous and stupid things, to hear what you had to say
One day, I missed you so much; I cried and gave a little sniff
I stood still, looking over the edge, and then I jumped off of the cliff
I heard your voice as I fell down through the air
You screamed at me, your voice was just so scared
I fell into the water, I couldn’t move or see
Things started to go black, but someone held onto me
We broke through the surface and I gasped for air
Jacob, my hero, he saved me, I’m so glad he was there
Things started to get bad again, I felt I couldn’t cope
The night I saw the black car, my heart was filled with hope
I ran inside and saw Alice waiting there for me
Why had she come back? How could this be?
She told me that she had a vision of me jumping off the cliff
That Edward thought I had committed suicide, my body went stiff
Edward told me that without me he had no reason for life
He said if he ever lost me, he’d get the Volturi to end his life
In a desperate panic me and Alice headed for the plane
We had to fly to Italy in time; I had to scream his name
We landed and got off the plane and Alice stole a sports car
We had no choice; walking or a taxi wouldn’t get us very far
We drove through the town; we needed to go much faster
If we didn’t get there in time, it would end in disaster
I got out and ran through the crowds, Edward was standing there
He was going to walk in the sun, reveal himself, I was so scared
I ran as fast as my legs would carry me and jumped into his arms
I stopped him just in time; I had kept my Edward from harm
He held me tight, and I held him, we kissed with all the love in our hearts
I knew from that moment when he held me, that never again would we be apart

Let Me Be Me

I’m not going to hide what I’m feeling
I’m not going to cover the fact that I’m not dealing
I’m not going to change myself for anyone that’s for sure
Obviously they’re not worth it if they want more
This is all I’ve got to offer, this is who I want to be
So don’t complain, accept it, let me be me

You think I’m a pathetic mess in need of help?
You think my file should be placed on a psycho shelf?
Well I’ve got news for you, I’m never gonna change
Even if you think that I’m crazy, a little strange
This is all I’ve got to offer, this is who I want to be
So don’t complain, accept it, let me be me

Why do I keep hoping you will talk to me?
When you are the one who tried to change me?
I don’t want this, I have to go away, leave now
I can’t be with you; I have to stop this, somehow
Time heals all wounds is what they say
But I’m still sorry it had to end this way

You can’t really expect me to change myself for you
I don’t need you putting me down, that’s why we’re through
Either you like me the way I am or you don’t
Honestly I won’t lose any sleep over this, I won’t
This is all I’ve got to offer, this is who I want to be
So don’t complain, accept it, let me be me

You say you’re sorry and you like me the way I am
Sorry, I don’t buy your lies, I don’t give a damn
You’re not sorry, no matter how many times you say you are
I don’t believe in second chances, stupid apologies won’t get you far

I’m not gonna change for you, you get the package deal
All or nothing with me, this is how I feel
Why don’t you just leave me alone? Give up, let this go
Stop trying to take back your words, you are so low
We will never work together; you’re not the boss of me
I can’t stand to speak to you anymore, let me be!

You tried to change me, what a stupid mistake
You should’ve known better, I’m no fake
Walk away now, leave me alone, let it go
Time to say goodbye now, I’m sick of your show
I know the phrase “never give up” but the act is wearing thin
Forget your apologies; throw your pathetic letters in the bin
I don’t want you, I thought I made that clear
Obviously you were too ignorant to hear

You tried to change me, stupid boy
Bet you wish you could turn back time
But you can’t

He Falls

Please forget me she says in a desperate plea
All this pain it isn’t worth it, let me be
He says he can’t forget her, he won’t attempt to try
Tears begin to form and she lets out one last cry
It hurts when we’re apart, but more when we’re together
He says he thought they were meant to be forever
She runs away then, and he attempts to follow
How could she leave him? Inside he is now hollow
He has no heartbeat anymore, can’t continue his life at all
Without her, there’s no reason for anything, he falls.

The End

Dedication:
This poem is for all the twilight saga fans out there.
This poem was inspired by the second book in the series, new moon. I just switched the roles. So it's a girl leaving a boy (Edward leaves Bella in New Moon).

If Nothing More

I didn’t know all these emotions were locked inside my heart
I didn’t know I could feel all this until you tore me apart
I broke down in front of you and I wrote down what I felt
You read it all and saw the cards that I was dealt
You’ve seen the insides of me, that no one has seen before
You saw me right to my heart, right to my inner core
You watched me as I fell apart
You watched me as you broke my heart
I didn’t think you cared at all
You were there to watch me fall
Now who will pick me up again?
Will you be there to be my friend?
If nothing more

Dedication:
You know who you are.
I'm sorry you had to see the darker side of me.
I'm not some emotional wreck.
I'm a happy person!

Take Back Those Words

She didn’t mean to say it
It didn’t come out quite right
She wishes she could turn back time
She didn’t want to start a fight

Now she does a double take
To try and take back her words
But it's impossible, a mindless mistake
Meaningless and absurd

Her best friend has deserted her
All because of those words
The conversation is just a blur
She wishes she never heard

She doesn’t know what she missed
She feels like a disaster
She wants to cease to exist
Fade into the plaster

Turn back time, start over
She didn’t want to be alone
Their friendship is now over
She lets out a miserable moan

Maybe it’s time for a new start
Be in the world by herself
She’s already given her heart
That’s why she hurts herself

She can’t be without her friend
It is no life at all
For her this is the end
Time to watch her fall

Don't Let This End

Dedication:
For Kendelle

Don't Let This End
How dare you accuse me of not liking you, you don’t know the facts
You look at me as though I just stabbed you in the back
You get so worried that something will happen and I’ll walk away
But you’re blind to see that I will always be here to stay
I want to be your friend forever, if you’ll only let me
But you’re so scared of tomorrow, just for now, let this be
If something happens and we decide to go our own separate ways
You can walk away from me but I will still be here to stay
I have to stay in case you change your mind and come back
I’m willing to wait forever if there’s a chance for another crack
I start to cry and mum asks what’s wrong, I say there’s something in my eye
But I know she sees right through me and my problems I can’t deny
It’s you who will decide the fate of our friendship, where this will go
Stop messing around, make up your mind, I really want to know
I can’t read your mind; you have to tell me what you’re thinking
Have you been feeling down lately, do you feel as though you’re sinking?
Please don’t let our friendship end, it seems to be deteriorating
Please don’t let our friendship end, ‘coz it’s my heart you are breaking

Buried Deep Inside...

Every time I see you, there’s a scowl on your face
Every time you look at me, I stare off into space
There must be a heart beneath that bitter, outer core
But you appear so scary; you leave people running for the door!
You have a love of reading, and you seem to keep to yourself
There must be a heart buried deep inside you, but I’m too scared to help
You seem to be always grumpy, but I see the glint in your eye
There must be some sort of feeling, way down deep inside
I see the shine in your eyes when you talk about your books
You probably think that I don’t care, that I didn’t bother to look
Why don’t you show the world your true colours, let them out
Show the world what it is you really care about!
I know there must be something underneath that bitter, outer core
I’ll keep searching for it, I’ll continue to explore.

The End



Dedication:
I wrote this poem about my English teacher. He has on a little act, being grumpy all the time and pretending that he doesn’t care about anyone or anything. Most everybody hates him, but I’m intrigued by his act and I know there must be a whole other person underneath the mask he wears. He loves books (something we have in common!) and talks animatedly about them to the class who groan in boredom. They aren’t really paying attention, he knows that, but I think he thinks that I don’t pay attention, but I do. I’m making it my personal mission to discover the new person underneath that mask and I know that it will be worth my effort. I hope one day he will read this poem.

A New Beginning

I can’t let go of our past, no matter how hard I try
When I think about what could’ve been, I simply start to cry
Every time I talk to you, my heart is full of hate
But then I realise I still love you, and my heart begins to break
Just when I thought that my emotional wounds were healing
My head is full of flashbacks; I just can’t shake this feeling
Remembering the day when you said you didn’t love me
My eyes were glazed with tears and I couldn’t see
I can’t keep dwelling on the past, I need to move on
I need to shake these feelings, accept that you’re gone
There never really was a chance for you and me
Some things in life simply aren’t meant to be
So I’m going to forget you and the way you broke my heart
It’s time for my new beginning, my fresh start


*note* this poem is not about anyone in particular. i wrote it out of the blue for a competition with "new beginnings" as the theme

Diary Of An Anorexic

I cannot take even one bite
My inner strength will win this fight
I long to be skinny like the other girls
Happy and beautiful with blonde curls

I haven’t eaten anything for weeks
I exercise frequently and I can’t get to sleep
Just five more kilos I tell myself
Don’t care how all this affects my health

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
An ugly, fat girl staring back at me
I run out of the house, my eyes full of tears
This monster inside me has been here for years

I’m losing weight, but it still isn’t enough
I have to be skinny, I want to be loved
I’ve run around the block a few times already
I have to stop to keep my breathing steady

Mum’s really worried, I don’t know why
Sometimes I feel like I want to die
I’ve been to different doctors, they are all the same
They say I’ve got a mental illness, like I’m insane

What’s so wrong with wanting to fit in?
All I desperately want is to be thin
Lying in bed, feeling weak, I can hardly breathe
I suddenly realise, food is what I need

I didn’t realise it until now
I need help, I just don’t know how
The doctors tell me I’m anorexic
Inside, I feel so pathetic

I’ve been sent to live with other girls like me
It’s supposed to be helpful for my recovery
All the girls here are so thin and their bones you can see
I look in the mirror in horror, they look like...me

I’m still scared of eating any food
So the nurses feed me with a tube
It has no taste as it slides down my throat
I’m starting to freeze, so I pull on a coat

I’m gaining weight, on the road back to health
I can’t believe I did all these things to myself

My Heart Is Breaking

I think about him every night, every waking moment of the day
I try to forget everything about him but his face won’t go away
How am I supposed to pretend that everything is alright?
When I still wake up crying in the middle of the night
He doesn’t even know my crying is for him, all my pain
I don’t want to play. Love is a complicated and dangerous game
Don’t keep saying it will be okay because I know that it won’t
Stop apologizing and trying to make things right, just don’t
I don’t understand anything about you and me anymore
All I know is that when I think of you I collapse crying on the floor
It is impossible for me. I don’t know if I will ever stop loving you
Even after all that has happened, the pain you put me through
I have given up on hope and wishing on a falling star
I have found that they are hopeless dreams that won’t get me very far
I’m just so tired of all this faking
I’m ready to admit it now, my heart is breaking
