What Came Before – Torian
Eternity isn’t a one-way street; today effects yesterday as much as tomorrow. I heard an aruetyc saying once from a haryc b'aalyc vod lamenting the things he’d seen fighting for the Sith: history is written by the victors. Winning a battle today makes a murder yesterday suddenly a tactical elimination, part of the path to victory. Losing a battle turns a man from patriot to traitor.
Turns a boy into the traitor’s son.
“Arue’tal.” Curse, name, sentence, blight – the meaning changes with the speaker. This time it is spoken with a sneer, a summons growled out by superio

Another face rises in my mind, and I answer its accusing glare with a flash of my blade.
Red blood wells from the cut and fills my senses, driving the pain from my soul.

Don't let the pain stop. When the pain stops is when we forget.
Forget everything we are guilty of, everything that makes us undeserving of happiness

He's getting me time to go through the pain, to keep myself from forgetting
Don't come back yet, my love. I can't stand you seeing me like this

Sacrifices Claimed by Victory
Tear drops splatter on the ground like rain. There is nothing left for the universe to see, to show that we were ever here.

You said that you would show me the way, that you would protect my heart, but then you turned aside when I stumbled. Turned aside and left me to die. I didn't die, I survived to conquer the Republic that had meant more to you than me. I crushed your illusions, destroyed everything you loved. Anything to make you feel the pain you have put me through. A million miles and one lost soul later, you return for me.
"Why now?" I scream my anger, oh, how it has grown in these years! I cannot control my darkness, I c

Preface
===========================================================================================
Some may call it a curse
A life like mine
But others, a blessing
It's certainly a lonely life
But a fulfilling one and the best
It's my cross to bear
And I'll bear it gladly
Someone has to take a stand against evil
Why should it not be me?

I always hoped someday I'd be free,
But here I am trapped behind bars you won't see.
I want you to look but you won't even try,
You just go away as I fight not to cry.
The wrongness is there in my mind, so they say.
Every day I struggle and fight it, but it won't go away.
Still you ignore it and won't even look,
Blind as the three mice from the fairy tale book.
Just when I think everything is okay,
That's when you decide it's time to go away.
The silence tears at me even more than before,
And that's when I look for that final, black door.
I want to be happy and I want to be free,
But I'll always be trapped as long as you can't se

So someone decided to leave a bigoted review on my piece . Since that person deleted it after they left it (but not before I got the notification of it) I'm going to post it and my reply here.
"That's what every single pervert out there will tell you. The guy who married his dog? He'll tell you the same. An old guy who married a 12 year old? He'll tell you the same"
My response: "You need help if you can't tell the difference between a consensual relationship between two willing adults, bestiality and child rape. As both a queer woman and the victim of a child predator, I can tell you they are vastly different."
