The Title may not be all that original, but it works. This is meant to be a trilogy of poems based on Maul and Ezra's relationship from Ezra's, Maul's, and a general overview respectively. Which means that this chapter is from Ezra's perspective.


Not My Tears

I've been robbed.

I've been corrupted.

I've been manipulated,

By your control.

You tainted me,

And yet you comforted me.

You're contact told me that you were trustworthy,

While your voice held grief.

I fell for your charm,

Your relatability,

Your lament.

I enjoyed your trust,

And you mine,

But it wouldn't last.

Because you destroyed my innocence,

My family,

Those eyes.

I will never have peace.

The guilt drives me mad.

Every night I cry,

But these tears are not mine.

For you still continue to steal from me.

And now, my sorrow will never be mine.

You didn't just destroy my innocence,

You stole it.

You hold it in your arms,

And with it my emotions.

These are not my tears,

This is not my life.

You hold the key.

As you continue to hold onto me.


I hope you liked it. This one was fun to write.
