These are some of the poems and lines used throughout the whole book. I, in no way, claim to take credits for these. I searched for them on Pinterest and Google. They can be a bit modified from the original and the meanings are changed too to suit my story and the narrative.
Chapter 13 – Half Truth
Poem by Walter to Rufus
"It was you,
it was me,
and it was the silence underneath the stars that understood
my heartbeat
and it's racing.
You told me nothing.
I believed everything.
In that moment, I found life.
In that moment
I found you."
Chapter 17 – The Whole Truth 2
Cryptic poem 1.
I regret every ship that he never sailed,
And listening to the fallen angel on her honor's shoulder,
I regret not exorcising that demon who possessed that already wretched soul,
and every two-lane word he swore."
Forbidden Love Poem
No, not a love like this.
Such love must stay hidden
inside dark corridors
beneath my ribs.
You mustn't look at me tender
you mustn't talk to me sweet;
you mustn't give this wild bird
its desired pair of wings.
If the shining lights of
his love would turn on
Darkness would come....
and he would be gone too.
Silently master loves so acceptance
would come along
For loving in secret
is only for the strong.
To keep apart,
two lovers' hearts
This might be true
Till the end of times."
Chapter 19 – Suspicions
Betrayal Poem (Prince Percy)
"Oh sweet manipulative honey
drown him in your illusions
one million locks
you master of deception.
Your lies wash over us
like a warm ocean tides
comforting and homely
oh sweet love!
Feed us false truths
like poisonous grapes on a vine
I still crave your deceitful bones
encompass my naïve skin
Transports me to your ecstasy of distortions."
Chapter 21 – King Benjamin : Part II
King Benjamin's Poem
"Walls have ears.
Doors have eyes.
Trees have voices.
Beast tells lies.
Beware the rain.
Beware the snow.
Beware the man
You think you know."
Chapter 29 – Starlight Tears
Dylan and Noah's mother.
"I promise I will save you, when you cannot stay afloat.
And if your tears can fill an ocean, then for you I'll be a boat."
Dylan and Noah's Dad
"Some days we laugh until we cried, other days we cried until we laughed. Either way, every day was perfect."
Chapter 33 – The Missing Pages
Benjamin's diary (for Leila)
Neither of us is happy
but neither of us wants to leave
so we keep breaking one another
and calling it love."
