Anakin Again
Today, dear Padme, my only desire,
When I close my eyes, I can see the fire
that burned anew every time I saw you
Your touch flamed on my fingertips
like the revenge of a Sith
so painful until you relieved me
with a phantom menace of a kiss
I know you never should have given to me
for it haunts me in my dreams
But without you I can't breathe
Your absence marked with agony
I could never forget you
unless I lost myself too
I want to be where you are,
we could escape this war in our stars
fought among light sabres
and I'd vow to be your valiant Jedi
to protect you from the dark side
Take my one hand and walk the sky
so my nightmares are not proven right
My voice catches in my chest
like a too long held breath
with all the things that I should have said
so we could live in paradise again
and I could be free from this star of death
for you know how much I hate the sand
It gets everywhere and reminds me
of what I can never have
Because when you are gone, I am already dead
on the life support of a widowed husband
Our hearts are my two suns
Passionate together in rebellion
I feel you within me as if I belonged
and you are forever my chosen one
I cannot live if you’re not here
With every rasp, I disappear
Let our progeny live a legacy
like this was a movie
Run far, far away with me
at light speed across the galaxy
back to the beginning on Tatooine
You were always my prophecy
Forever, your Ani
