Thrill of the Ride

by obi's girl

 -----------------------------------

A/N: Set during Episode III, Anakin's thoughts as he descends closer to the dark side. Some Padme/Anakin angst, but very little.

I don’t know what it is
that attracts me,
what draws me in.

I can never have enough
of it.
It’s a sickness, I know.
It’s a hormonal reaction.

I hold Padmé close to me,
and can’t help but smile.

She’s mine and
no one knows it.

Life was complicated before,
but now it’s become so
simple because I have her.

I can never let her go,
but there’s another thrill
that haunts me, a darker,
seductive thrill.

I’d been warned to stay away
from it;
it isn’t the way for me
I’m told…

But somehow I feel I’m
supposed to walk that way.

It’s my destiny.
Everyone has darkness in them…
I am no exception.

Suddenly I’ve lost everything,
I’ve lost so much.
I don’t want everyone to go away
but they always manage to
and I can’t stop it.

I’ve lost Padmé.
She’s dead, Obi-Wan says.
There was nothing I could have done,
he says…

Our lives were set.
Now I’m walking on shattered glass.
I’ve failed; I’ve failed
all of them...

But somehow I don’t really care.
I don’t care about anything anymore.
I’m in the arms of darkness,
forever lost in its pit of despair.

I am dead;
Anakin is dead...
and all that’s left is a machine,
barely holding onto to life.

I am…
I have become…
darkness…
I am Darth Vader.
