Taken from my family as a child
I remember nothing of them
Although I do remember someone
Once calling me a precious gem
The self proclaimed Emperor,
Palpatine trained me himself
He taught me to use the Force
And how to act like someone else
As part of my training,
I learned to dance and to shoot to kill
I was taught to slice and how to pilot anything,
Something I practice still
An extension of my master
His Hand, he called me
He sent me on missions no one else could do
He taught me to show no pity
When he died on the second Death Star,
I felt it from far away
His last command, to kill Luke Skywalker,
In my mind would stay
For five years, I dreamed of his death
I would avenge him by killing Skywalker
And I would have killed him on Myrkr,
Had he not been a fast talker
But I did end up killing Skywalker
Even though it was only Luke's clone
The last command finally left my mind
At last, I could be alone
But fate kept deciding to intervene
Time after time, Luke and I were forced to work together
Most of the time just for information,
But we've had our fair share of trials to weather
We'd been associates for 10 years, friends nearly as long
When I got caught in a place I couldn't get out of
Luke rescued my body, and I rescued his soul
That's when we realized we were in love
Through the years, we've faced many hard times:
The Yuuzhan Vong, my illness, the death of friends
We were always faced with hardships and heartbreak
We learned some wounds only time mends
Luke left this existence some years ago, to become one with the Force
Maybe since then he's seen Chewie or Han
Or Leia, Wedge, Corran, even Kyp
From Death, all these people ran
So did I, at least until now
But I feel my time to go is now here
I feel the Force beckoning me to abandon myself to it
I feel it drawing me near
I'll miss everyone I leave behind
But they'll join us soon enough
The call of the Force is getting stronger
It's harder to resist, now it's too tough
Goodbye, I'll see you all later
This light, it's so bright
It recedes, and I see my friends, family, and husband
After all these years, they're a welcome sight

A/N: I came up with this at about 9 o'clock last night. I hope it makes sense. I was tired when I wrote it, so if it really doesn't make sense, I'm sorry.
