This is a rather short piece that is, in fact, part of something else I'm writing. It is basically a poem that I decided in the end DIDN'T fit in with the format that I was writing in, so I cut it out here it stands on its own. This is from Jacen Solo's point of view, as he thinks about his young brother Anakin, whom he loved… and lost.

I watched you
I watched your birth, I watched you grow.
I watched you love, I watched you hurt.
I watched you try, I watched you fail.
I watched you learn, I watched you fight.
I watched you falter, I watched you fall.
I watched you die, I watched you go.
I watched you

(In a fic that I am having shitloads of fun writing. It's comin' out in a healthy swath sometime in the future.)

The fic this piece is a part of is dark, emotional, and painful to read, and one that quite a few people will chew me out for.
