Falling Apart
Author: RyouBakura's Dark Angel (formerly Celestia Vitaria)
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars, but this poem is mine.
Summary: Just an odd poem I came up with one night about 6 months ago whilst sitting backstage at a theatre. Started out as random poem, but I just realized last night that it fits my character Layla Blair.
A/N: This was not my fault. Blame my Muse for this.
Archive: You know the routine.
Feedback: YES! I live for it! It's a writer's best friend.

Falling Apart:
I look around
But recognize nothing
This makes no sense
Why is everything so unfamiliar?
My world is changing
Slowly collapsing around my head
And nothing that I can do
Will be able to stop it from happening
Desperate now
I spread my wings
And try to fly away
But I cannot
My wings have been broken
And I am unable to run
Helpless to escape
I fall to my knees amidst the wreckage
I close my eyes
And a shrill cry escapes me
A terrible sound
Mournful and horrified
It fills the night
Seeming to fly to the Heavens above
Heard even by the gentle spirits
Who are the watchers of all
That we hold dear to our hearts
And you
You have betrayed me
I have been abandoned
Everything is falling apart
In my darkest hour
I watched you walk away
You never once looked back
But the coldness in your eyes
As you left me behind
Said more than any words
Ever could have said
I know now
That I no longer exist to you
In your empty eyes
I am no more
I am dead and gone to you
Slowly I look up
The debris has stopped falling
But as the dark clouds
Continue to form overhead
The realization comes to me
It's only the calm before the storm
The air is deathly still
For only a moment in time
Suddenly I hear your voice
From somewhere in the distance
Your soft laughter
Once so warm
Is now cold and bitter
It seems to mock me
As my tears flow uncontrollably
Down pale, silken cheeks
I lower my head
And reach up to touch the scar
That adorns my left cheek
Just below my eye
Gently I trace the painful red mark
The scar that seems to be
A symbol of everything
Which I have been
Forced to endure in my life
Again I close my eyes
Trying to stop the painful memories
But it is all in vain
The doors of my mind
Burst open like a floodgate
Surrounding me with haunting
Images of my past
And again I see you
Staring at me with your dark
Empty, lifeless eyes
And walking away from me
Leaving me alone in the wreckage
Alone with my life
That is quickly
Falling apart.
Well, what do you think? Love it, hate it, don't know what to think of it? Leave me a review either way and let me know. It really saddens me when ppl ignore something that I put my heart and soul into.
