Amidala's Pain

I never thought it

Would come to this.

I never thought I could

Feel this much pain.

Would it have been

Easier if he had

Just died?

He tried to kill Obi-Wan

That I could forgive

He tried to kill me

That I could forgive.

But this.

This I could not forgive.

I dream about it

Every night.

The pain.

The hunger.

The death.

By order of the emperor

He killed the Jedi

By order of the emperor

He killed my homeworld

Now Naboo is just

A broken shell.

A broken, pitiful shell.

Birds no longer chirp.

People no longer

Roam the streets.

Gungans no longer live.

Why? Why? My soul cries.

Why, it seems like

Just yesterday we were

Celebrating your wedding.
