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.
