I am, I was, I will be.
by: Maleficus-lupus

I am Nothing.

I am an empty soul, consumed by the Void...

I am Nothing.

No hope, no feelings, nothing but emptyness...

I am Nothing.

I was.

I was a great soldier, scores died by my blade and by my bolt.

I was.

I was a great lover, my Consort loved me, as did my children.

I was.

I was a great leader, thousands flocked to my banner, and were inspired by my speeches.

I was.

I was a great general, by my guidence whole systems fell to my people, and those planets which did not... Burned.

I was.

I was a man consumed by duty, who left his lover and children to die when I could have saved them, rather then disobey my orders. When all the men of my fleet would have supported me.

I was...

A man.

I will.

I will be again, for nothing is only nothing when it contains nothing.

I will be a soldier.

I will be a leader.

I will be a general.

I will not be a lover, for that way lies pain.

I will be..

More than a man.
