Okay,
well I didn't think I would stray away from "Anakin's Angel"
so quickly, but I would like to
stretch out to more characters
besides her... and that doesn't mean you won't see more of her later
on, either folks.
And I figure this poem is about Anakin, someone VERY influential and important to our beloved Senator Amidala...
This one is about Anakin's decision in the
Chancellor's office, and his siding with Sidious
instead of Mace
Windu. I wrote this one at camp too, with the prompt: Write about
someone stuck in an unpleasant place or situation. ANGSTY! Deeply
inspired also by the Revenge of the Sith novelization by Matthew
Stover. All who haven't read it SHOULD. In some ways, the extra
scenes fill in places the movie leaves out. And Anakin's fall seems
less sudden, too.

A
Shattering Choice
Stained by the Darkness
Yet marred by
the Light
A choice in which neither
Option sounds right.
Two
gruesome black monsters
Fighting for a heart
Voices strung
together
That you can't set apart
Tortured by lies
Agonized
by truths
And both sides backed up
By tremendous proofs
A
glimpse of a candle
Before it goes out
Muffled screams
Silent
shouts
As the monsters chew away
At the soul and the mind
Only
one will prevail
And the answer will find
Itself
As the icy
cold center is reached,
Heart ripped open,
Security
breached,
Hopes washed away
Covered only by fear
That you'll
surely lose
Something you hold dear
A scream
Then the final
decision is made
A tingling feeling
You're still afraid
But
what's done is done
You've spoken the words
And sadly
Your
pleas for help go unheard
The Darkness has triumph,
Leaving
undecided fates
But unbeknownst to the suffering, the Light
sits...
And waits.
The next one is also Anakin, justsoyouknow. Wow.
