Ben Solo/ Kylo Ren one-shots

Trust

A poem, from Kylo Ren, to Luke.

So tell me what you think

I know you said I'm wrong

that everything I've done

has left me in the Dark.

But you won't show me how

to break the Chains in which I'm bound

to help me start again

to help me find a friend.

You put your Faith in me,

thought I would set you free,

thought everything I was 

would rise up from the dust.

Then suddenly

so clear

so strange 

you found the pain and fear and rage

that lived in side of me

just waiting to break free.

And turned your back

away from me,

you blamed me, framed me,

betrayed me.

I wanted only to be free

from the hurt inside of me.

So lonely and so lost, confused,

you left me only feeling used.

I always hoped that you would see 

the Shame inside of me.

Instead you pushed me to the ground,

you left me hurt and tied and bound.

Betrayed,

Afraid,

I turned right back on you.

I crushed your hopes and dreams,

but only in exchange

for not believing me,

for putting Trust in me. 

Now it's too late,

my mind is made,

now that I've seen

through your Charade.

How dare you say that it's my Fault?

When if you look, you know it's true,

that if you tried, that if you knew,

I'd be the one to forsake you. 

Trust goes both ways,

or so I thought. 

If only you had seen

there was still Light in me.
