I don't own Star Wars; no money is being made from this fanwork.
(I wrote this while under the influence of Luke, but- incidentially- if you're a fan of The Gargoyles Saga, it really makes me think of Umbriel, too...)
"Thicker"
Somewhere- deep within,
I know there lies
a heart just like mine;
that pumps the same blood,
laughs the same laugh,
and puts the same light in his eyes.
He lost it somewhere along the way,
hid it deeper still-
but that it beats I can never doubt,
though the world he tries to kill.
He just needs me to show him,
to help him find the way;
to teach him to find it again
and to never toss it away.
He just needs me to show him;
though between shoving me away,
he pulls me deper into his den of darkness-
forsaking the light of day.
Only I can save him,
for only I can know
what secret thoughts may gather
in the tangled shades below.
