"I had a dream, like the dreams I used to have about my mother, right before she died."

I had a dream and not the pleasant kind,
it frightened me so much it was like a rewind of the time
my mother appeared in my dreams suffering, dying, pleading, crying.
I told myself they were only dreams but I was haunted by her screams.
The jedi, Obi-Wan;
I told them but they heard the word dream and then they were done.
When their message was relayed, I hesitated before I disobeyed them,
but it was too late, the wait had sealed her untimely fate.
If only they'd let me go to her, then maybe I could have saved her,
but the only thing of which I am sure
is to not underestimate dreams, for they are sometimes exactly what they seem.
.
I lost it then, I'm ashamed.
I killed her captors but I did not stop at the warriors.
Needless to say, there will be no one left to carry on their torturous way.
But it was not the Jedi way.
.
Don't give in to revenge and sin.
don't underestimate the dark side, it'll possess your fate and blind your eyes to
the cries and your ears to your fears of going too far to avoid being sub par.
I never told a soul about my brush with that deadly hole,
how I let a devil possess me and the evil carres me.
.
I vowed not to underestimate the darkside,
to make a clean slate that maybe I could hide from that side of me
of which I'm honestly terrified.
.
Now that I have touched it once,
it lurks in the back of my mind waiting for me to find a reason to draw from it's
addicting power,
but where it makes others cower,
I can not help but be drawn in, it makes me feel like I can win.
But I need to fight it, never unite with it.
Keep it under lock and key, this power is too dangerous to ever be set free.
Which brings me to my beloved wife.
.
Where I am dark she is my light, I need her to survive this terrible abyss in which
my dark side thrives.
She's all I truly trust, I'd do anything for her.
Her protection is a must because I adore her.
But I had a dream, and as it would seem,
I will lose her as I lost my mother.
Am I destined to lose every other person in my life who keep my demons at bay?
Are they all to go away no matter what I do or say?
No. I love Padme too much to let her go. I know.
.
She's the thought I wake up to in the morning
The thought I go to sleep to at night
Even in my dreams she's a sight for sore eyes
Don't you know i adore her, i'd do anything for her
If she dies I'd give my life to restore her
I know she doesn't really need me but loving her has freed me from my lonely life
of only strife. Please, force, I can not lose my wife.
What do I do?
AN : I read this whole fic to my best friend and her little sister. At the point where Anakin says "She's the thought I wake up to in the morning" the little sister said, "Anakin needs a hobby." lol! That's the point. Anakin's attachment is not completely healthy, sadly. Still a good love story, and still tragic.
MossyMeow, thank you for your suggestions. I will consider them. I always appreciate constructive criticism. I do want to say though, these were inspired by Hamilton, but they are only definitely dialogue. they could be freestyle poems, and if you like, you could consider them songs, but I was not trying to write songs. I wish I were that talented, where I could structure things so well. Lol.
Up next, Palpatine reveals himself as a sith, presenting Anakin with a choice.
Please review!
Love ya!
