Note : Poem background. Basically Maul survived the final TPM somehow. He got together and then he gave himself up to the Jedi because he wanted to get back to his master for lotsa stuff.

So in this poem is his journey learning about the Jedi and learning about Obi-Wan and himself. It is part of an unfinished fanfic that I've written.

Maul & Obiwan : A Conversation of the Heart

By Mila

Maul :
I came here to ask for solace and deliverance
I know it is Death that I plea
And hope that you would grant it to me
I show all my sins so you could judge me harshly
But you saw something else
You saw my bleeding soul
Your compassion,
It was your weakness as well as your strength
Because it was your compassion
That had broke me,
Tear me apart,
Fill me and change me forever
your compassion had won over my soul that was taken from me

Obiwan :
I don't understand why you choose this path of destruction
You knew it would lead to your own downfall
Yet you go on anyway
At what price that it is worth
Surrendering your soul to Darkness forever

Maul :
Why do you sympathise me?
I've wound more than it could heal
Couldn't you just sow a little hate in your heart
So in the end you could grant me my solace

Obiwan :
I dont know why I couldn't bring myself to hate you
When I fought you, you were invincible
But now, I only see a broken rag doll that might never mend
I feel that I needed to champion you
Why does the Force show me this?

Maul :
So...This Light?
This is the choice that he never gave me
Why?
Why wasn't I given the chance to taste it?
Hasn't anyone realise how sweet it is
How utterly taken I am
How could anyone leave this Light to enter my hideous Darkness?

Obiwan :
How could anyone stayed sane, living like this?
I guess they don't
You were a magnificent warrior
And might still be
You are beautiful and hideous in your own way
I realise that I want you more than I could admit

Maul :
I need you

Obiwan :
The first time it happen, I know exactly what it is.
Desire
No matter how I try to run, it follows
I had lusted for you the moment you walk through the door
It burns like your blazing eyes and how I wanted to burn completely

Maul :
I dont understand why I did it
I know I shouldn't but I needed it
Your Light,
I needed it more than the waking world
It didn't matter if you did it for your compassion
But it is enough
Enough for me to live in the moment
And a moment it is all it would take

Obiwan :
You are so beautiful
Yet so broken
How anyone could create such beauty just for the purpose of hate?
You are supposed to be treasured
I have Forgiven You

Maul :
I have driven you away
I've tainted you, for what?
A worthless moment of passion
I've soiled you with my unclean soul
I've destroyed you with my ugliness
Will you ever find it in your heart to forgive me

Obiwan :
Why do you torment yourself this way?
Is it so hard for you to accept that you could be Loved here?
I do LOVE you

Maul :
Why do you LOVE me?

Obiwan :
I've cleansed you, my fallen warrior
You are free now, free to bathe in the Light with me
No longer in Darkness
No longer His for I have claimed you
You are now mine, beloved
Mine always

Maul :
He cannot harm you
I cannot let Him!
You are all that I have
He cannot take you away from me

Obiwan :
Don't leave me!
Not again, not you
I won't let you!
Stay with me for awhile
For a lifetime if you can
Don't leave...
Me

SILENT

Maul :
Now I'm certain,
I don't need Death
It would come eventually but not now
Not yet, later perhaps
I know you have forgiven me
I know Love, your LOVE
I am grateful for it
Even for a moment, it would last me a lifetime
Maybe I don't need a lifetime

THE BALANCE
I was the First, I will be the Last
I was the Beginning, I will be the End
I was Condemn, I will Redeem
I was the Dark, I will be the Light
I was the Sith, I will be the Jedi
Balance to the Force
