Surrender--A Star Wars Poem

You broke through my defenses
And stripped my soul clean.
But for a while, your assault
Brought the better out in me.

Many only saw a former queen:
A pawn, an ally or an enemy.
But your eyes saw deeper
To the lonely woman in me.

I tried to rally my reasons,
All the ways that this was wrong,
But you would not listen
And your will was just too strong.

So I surrendered
And gave you everything I am,
Turning my back on my principles
And for all I use to stand.

Now everything is crumbling.
The world we were working for is gone.
And as I lie here dying,
I wonder how it went so wrong.
