Seeking Not Found

I was born with a hole in my heart:
Unwanted, unfinished,
Wrong.

An enemy made me;
And enemy saved me;
An enemy left me and laughed.

I hate as I'm hated,
Use as I'm used,
And take all I can get, though it hurts.

Unloved and unloving,
A sweet knife of pain,
I cry out in the night to be taken.

A thing of rare beauty,
A thing of fine skill,
A thing is how you'll always see me.

OK. I am fully aware of the ridiculousness of this thing. But that first stanza's been rattling at the inside of my head for over a year now; and the other night the rest of it just wrote itself. I decided not to put much effort into refining it, because, really, it's just so over-the-top. So there's meter, of a sort, but no thyme.
I take it somewhat seriously -- after all, Starscream kinda does. But not too seriously, please!

I love how not serious this is yet how powerful it is, because that's kinda how Starscream is: not taking things seriously but having thought and feeling despite saying he doesn't.

Nice job~

It doesn't even make a difference which incarnation of Starscream this is for... to a greater or lesser extent this suits all of them :)

The very last bit is the most...impactful, for lack of a better word, to me. I can see his internal sorrow at that perception.

Thanks. :blush: Yeah, I was like, "That's a pretty punchy last line, pal. I'll just leave it at that." (I just let Imaginary SS write this.)
