Saga Descent: A Dark Anakin Skywalker Poetry Trilogy

Thrill of the Ride (Anakin Skywalker poem)
By obi?s girl

A/N: set during episode iii, anakin thoughts as he descends closer into the darkside.

I don?t what it is
that attracts me,
what draws me in.

I can never have enough
of it.
It?s a sickness, I know
It?s a hormonal reaction.

I hold Padmé close to me,
and can?t help but smile.

She?s mine and
no one knows it.

Life was complicated before,
but now it?s become so
simple because I have her.

I can never let her go,
but there?s another thrill
that haunts me, a darker,
seductive thrill.

I?d been warned to stay away
from it; it isn?t the way for me
I?m told?

But somehow I feel I?m
supposed to walk that way.

It?s my destiny;
everyone has darkness in them?
I am no exception.

Suddenly I?ve lost everything,
I?ve lost so much;
I don?t want everyone to go away
but they always manage to
and I can?t stop it.

I?ve lost Padmé.
She?s dead, Obi-Wan says.
There was nothing I could have done,
he says?

Our lives were set;
now I?m walking on shattered glass.
I?ve failed; I?ve failed
all of them...

But somehow I don?t really care.
I don?t care about anything anymore.
I?m in the arms of darkness,
forever lost in its pit of despair.

I am dead;
Anakin is dead...
and all that?s left is a machine,
barely holding onto to life.

I am?
I have become?
darkness?
I am Darth Vader.

 

Whoa [face_shocked] that was amazing.
