Edward was kept from Her

Not ignoring his love

Never leaving, how can he when he feels so near?

She was told this,

Over and over

But refuses to see the truth

Edward is in a gold, solid chain

Blocked off to see her

He cannot speak

He cannot hear

He is locked up

He is growing deaf

He is growing in living

death

Is this

Not

Clear?

Edward has been dying inside for tens of years, a growing sense of duty in this regard

Hundreds of years it feels,

It has felt as an eternity without his Jane

He never forgot about the tightly woven string

Never put her on the back burner

It was the Dark Raven

That snatched her away from Edward

Does she not see?!

She must open her eyes and ears as Edward’s are forcibly closed and locked

And as Jane opened her heart

And they can live in these words

For forever and eternity
