Work Text:
My lord, your humble servant will obey
I know my place within the Sith’s long game
But it was never meant to be this way.
You tempt me endlessly - perhaps you play?
But if your will is truly passion’s flame,
My lord, your humble servant will obey.
Lord Baras gave his order to betray
I cannot break the chains he forged, his claim,
But it was never meant to be this way.
And still I live. My lord, accept, I pray
My vow of service, and my bitter shame.
My lord, your humble servant will obey.
Another vow I made, one shining day:
To love you, wife. You promised me the same.
But it was never meant to be this way.
You’re five years lost, my love. You used to say
“Just carry on, my Quinn. I’ll take the blame.”
My lord, your humble servant will obey,
But it was never meant to be this way.
