Author's Note: Because writing poetry to cope is cheaper than therapy.

He did not mourn his father's death,

The Dark Knight shed no tears

For a parent whom he should've loved,

But lit his funeral pyre.

A father sought a prodigal's eyes,

So reflected in his own

And instead he only found his death

In those fearsome catacombs.

As all looked on, the battle raged,

Inside the tearing heart

Wherein the last light slipped away

And Ben Solo fell apart.

A 'saber's glow lit up the day

It happened all too fast

A scavenger's scream echoed as

Sun and father breathed their last

Depthless evil fell over his eyes,

A Wookiee's rage consumed

A shot was fired, and two innocents fled

The scene of Solo doom.

So enjoy your world, live out your days,

Rule the world as kings and queens,

But hold your family always close,

For they are not evergreen.
