Flame consumes me.

Tell me his name I want to know…

The flames are my only friends, and treacherous friends they are. Many others are treacherous…

The way he looks and where you go…

She abandoned me, left me here in this hell.

After all I did for her…

Even this is for her. After all she said…after all we had.

Why this?

I don't understand.

I need to see his face; I need to understand…

I love her…

Doesn't she love me too?

No…

Obviously not.

She betrayed me…for Obi-Wan.

She can't love me.

Why you and I came to an end…

So why do I still love her?

Here, in the burning and the pain, all I can think of is her…

What a fool I am….

Tell me again, I want to hear…

I feel my ears withering away…

If she does say she loves me, I won't hear.

I am deaf to love.

You broke my faith in all these years…

Now I feel bitter. Why did she say so many times that I meant the world to her, why did she let me think she cared?

So many liars in this world…

Let it burn.

Who lies with you at night, while I'm here all alone…?

I've never felt so alone.

Remembering when I was your own…

Padme…where are you now?

I don't want to love you…but I can't stop…burning…inside…

I let you go

I let you fly…

What have I done to you?

All I remember is your cries…

Padme, I would never make you cry…you know that.

It was Obi-Wan, you know it was.

I would never hurt you…

So why, then, do I burn here?

What have I done to deserve this punishment?

Why do I keep on asking why?

Why?

Why?

I let you go

Now that I've found…

I'm lost without you…Padme…can't you soothe the hurt?

I'd never hurt you…

A way to keep…somehow…

I'd never hurt you…

Never…

More than a broken vow…

I couldn't!

Tell me the words I never said…

I love you; you can't know how much I love you…

No!

Show me the tears you never shed…

But why else would you be crying?

No! It's not possible!

Give me the touch, the one you promised would be mine…

Please, hold me, broken and burnt, and let me know that I'm alive…

Because I'm with you…

And because I couldn't ever hurt you…

Could I?

No!

Or has it vanished for all time...?

Padme…you can't leave me here…

But you already have…

Because you betrayed me…

I let you go…

I let you fly…

Why do I keep on asking why?

I let you go…

Now that I've found…

A way to keep… somehow…

But you did…

Because I betrayed you.

Why else would I burn in hell?

Only for the greatest crime…

More than a broken vow…

No…

I close my eyes…

In pain from the flames and my heart, I close my eyes…

And I dream of you and I realize…

All I can think of is you…

I deserve to die…like this…

There's more to love than only bitterness and lies…

Why can't I see you once again…and tell you…?

I close my eyes…

I love you…

So much that I betrayed you…

It was all for you!

I'd give away my soul to hold you…once again…

I will see you again…

And you will know how I love you.

And never let this promise end…

Even in hell, I can't stop loving you…

There's a hand…pulling me from death's jaws.

He will know where you are…

He has to know…

He knows how much I care for you…

So much pain…too much…can't bear it…

Padme…where are you?

Surely, you will hate me now…

For I am no longer a man.

"Lord Vader…"

"Yes, my master?"

"Rise."

I do.

Everything is so cold…so much metal…

And all I can think about is you…Padme…

"Where's Padme? Is she…all right?"

I must know…if I don't…surely I will die…

The Chancellor has always been good to me…

He will help.

But right now…he is silent…

I let you go…

"She is dead."

I am dead.

"In your rage…it appears you killed her."

No…

Not…possible…

I could never…never…never…

I let you fly…

I'm burning again, only differently.

Before, the fire was outside…now…

It's inside me.

And without you, Padme, it will never go out…

Now that I know, I'm asking why…

Why?

There is rain everywhere, and it burns worse than the fire, each drop scorching the truth onto my back a thousand times…

It was me.

I have killed myself.

I let you go…

Now that I've found…

Why can't I die? Oh please, let me die now…

A way to keep…somehow…

This metal sustains me, and that is all.

They say, without it I'd be dead.

They're wrong.

For I am dead already.

I'm screaming Padme, screaming because I'm lost and you're dead.

And it isn't nearly enough…

Because…

I love you, Padme, I love you…

For every scar on my back…

For every vile thought…

For every speck of blood on my hands…

I love you…

More than a broken vow…
