Broken.
Defeated.
Abused and mistreated.
I will not be, I've become something pseudo-significant.
Discarded.
Depleted.
Used and complacent.
And thoughts that warrant matter never made a difference.
A life of love will never be released.
And a soul consumed by hatred will never rest in peace.
You'll recognize your faults and shadow your disdain.
But for now, do what you do best, and walk away.
There's nothing left but a pile of ashes.
Your life of lust will not again sway me.
A black soul becomes translucent.
The hand no longer feeds.
So you may be coruscant from time to time, but know I severed your string long ago.
