Til the Casket Drops

~It was the coldest night of the year
Snow-covered street lamps and Belvedere
The moon was just a sliver
The light was fading
The war was on its way
And we were waiting~

It must have been one of the coldest nights here in forks the snow was covering the street lamps and the street, only thing that was clear was the sidewalk and that was going to be covered soon too since it had started to snow again.
Jasper and I decided to go walking to get away from everything but we couldn’t stop thinking about what was to come, another war with the volturi and this time I don’t think there was going to be any talking.

“It’s cold out here but so pretty” I said to Jasper as we sat on a bench

“Yeah I forget that you can feel the cold” he said putting his arm around me

“Yeah” I replied quietly

A few moments of silence passed between us before I spoke again

“Are you scared?” I looked over at him

“I mean I know you’re used to this fighting thing but do you ever get scared just a little?” I asked my voice shaking
“Yes I do especially when the people I love have to fight too, I’m scared I might lose you” he responded kissing my head

~You asked me how long I'd stay by your side
So I answered with only just one reply,
Till the casket drops
Till my dying day
Till my heartbeat stops
Till my legs just break
Whoa, oh, whoa
whoa, whoa, oh
Whoa, whoa, oh
Till the casket drops~

“Do you ever regret marrying me?” he asked suddenly as we continued walking

“Never” I said simply

“How long will you stay by my side?” I took his hand stopping him so I could look into his eyes.

“Till the casket drops, till my dying day, till my heartbeat stops and till my legs just break” I told him

“I love you”

“I love you too”

~A house made out of glass will surely shatter
So we built a fortress of red bricks and ladders
The ground, it started shaking
The bombs are falling
We could've walked away
We had a warning~

I looked around at the house the family had built for us, I walked into a room that Esme had designed just for a baby, and she just knew we were going to have one. My throat started to tighten up and my eyes started to water, I picked up a cute little brown bear that was sitting inside the crib.

Emmett said we would have a boy and that he would hunt bears with his uncle and Rose hoped for a girl, another one to spoil rotten.

My wristwatch beeped signaling that it was noon, it was almost time for them to come, my tears started to fall I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I felt Jasper put his arms around me and I laid my head on his chest crying until I couldn’t anymore.

“You know you can always leave” he said

“No, we all could have walked away from this we were warned, I want to stay and fight with my family” I said determined

~So lay your burden down, baby
Lead me out the door
We can't escape this ricochet
I'm ready for this war
So lay your burden down, baby
Lead me out the door
We can't escape this ricochet
I'm ready for this war~

We stood at the front door looking at our home, the last time one of us or both of us would see again.

“Are you ready?” he asked

“Yeah” he held his hand out and I took it as he led the way out the door and into the woods to the clearing. I hugged everyone telling them how much I loved them before taking my place in front with my family, holding hands with Rose, my closest sister, and Jasper, the love of my life.

Everything happens for a reason right?

“Till the casket drops” I told him

“Till the casket drops” he responded

~Till the casket drops
Till my dying day
Till my heartbeat stops
Till my legs just break
Till the casket drops,
Till my dying day,
Till my heartbeat stops,
Till my legs just break,
Whoa, oh, whoa,
whoa, whoa, oh,
Whoa, whoa, oh,
Till the casket drops~

*Poem*
Is it truly selfish to want you back again?
I could not calm your mind, I could not ease your pain;
I thought my love would be enough to keep you here with me;
But now I know that was never going to be.
I loved you, I disliked you, we argued and we kissed;
Your face, your touch, your scent forever I shall miss;
To hold you in my arms again, my soul no longer lost;
I'd pay the price and gladly have no worry to the cost.

They say that life gets better and time will ease the pain;
They're fools who cannot see the truth, it can never be the same;
No daytime and no nighttime just hour on hour on hour;
And time has no more meaning now life's not sweet it's sour.
Some think we have a life-force or a soul some others say;
If I had one I know it died that dreadful, dreadful day;
Sometimes I know I hurt you, I know that was so true;
But please forgive me for those wrong
FOR I ALWAYS WILL LOVE YOU

“I love you too Jasper forever”
