Nothing left to lose

by GoldenHydrangea

A poem I wrote about the Solo kids during LotF

What would you give, Jacen, to save a hundred, a thousand, a million lives?

I would give my own

That is not enough

Everything's falling to pieces and the only solution I see

Is in the face of my enemy

After so many have failed, do I think that the dark won't consume me?

No

But there's nothing left to lose

Because everything's been falling apart for as long as I've been alive

And no matter what I do, chaos always seems to thrive

If I do this one last desperate last resort, do I think I can survive?

No

But there's nothing left to lose

Step by step, one foot in front of the other

If I don't look back I can betray my aunt, cousin, uncle, sister, father and mother

Does he sometimes resurface, the nephew, cousin, son and brother?

Yes

But I remind him that there's nothing left to lose

And when you look into my eyes, you can not see

A single shadow left of me

Am I the man I want to be?

No

But there's nothing left to lose

What would you give, Jaina, to save a hundred, a thousand, a million lives?

I would give my own

That is not enough
