This was just a quick sonnet I wrote up. It could be from multiple people's perspective, but I was thinking of Maedhros when I wrote it. :) Reviews appreciated!
Enjoy!

Stained:
Maedhros's Lament
Would that the past could change,
That the pain of regret would leave,
Fired like an arrow from the range
Into my heart to tear and cleave
That which was once pure and true
And exchange it for guilt and shame
What I'd give for a heart that's new
Than one that can only hurt and maim,
My sanity cruelly ripped from me,
Return the favor to others I must,
No peace, except over the wide Sea
And I from their bosom was thrust.
Life lies over there, hope in my hand,
Yet cursed to remain in this bleak land.
