Notes: All characters and situations belong to George Lucas; no money is being made from this fanwork and no infringement is intended. Sort of a companion piece to "Thicker" from the other point of view of the two characters involved... but it can be enjoyed on its own. "When the Fallen Angels Fly" is a song by Patty Loveless of which this poem is a filk and an adaptation to a specific circumstance.
I have crossed so many deserts,
Emptiness stealing my soul-
So far from those who cared,
I longed for someone to make me whole.
I built so many walls,
My heart I tried to hide;
I drowned myself in freedoms
Just to feed my foolish pride.
On my journey through the darkness
I have finally seen the light,
And I know no one's ever loved me
Like you're loving me tonight.
There's something I must tell you,
I wonder if you'll understand
How I could fall for such worldly pleasures
And become less than a man.
I thought I knew my friends,
And those whom I could trust;
But I was betrayed by one,
And fell prey to his power lust.
Luke, please don't try to judge me,
I've been more wrong than right,
But I know no one's ever loved me
Like you're loving me tonight.
You have saved the fallen angel,
My broken soul you mend.
You drew my heart from darkness-
I've learned to love again.
All the sins have been forgiven,
I can see it in your eyes.
Tell your sister that I love her
And that the fallen angel flies.
I hear the force rejoice in chorus
When each fallen angel flies.
