1 Title: Goodbye

Author: Vesha

Genre: Poetry/Angst

2 Rating: PG

Summary: A rather angst-y piece, in the point of view of Samwise (NOT slash). I don't expect it to get a lot of reviews, but tell me what you think (if you do ^_o). I'm not sure why I rated this PG…

-A general update: I am putting Cardcaptor Harry on hold for a while, but if you are reading it, don't worry! I will work on it more when I have time! I have a few ideas for more Lord of the Rings fanfictions. I don't think you need to worry about me making a "Cardcaptor Frodo" though! ^_^

"RRR! What is the extra R for? RE-review, of course!"

5 Goodbye

6 (Ballad)

I never thought once

That this is what you would do

This is what would happen

After all we have been through

You can't imagine the pain

That is in me because of the end

Now that I have to say

Goodbye to you, my friend



I'll never forget when we left,

That very fateful day

We set out on an adventure

I'd no idea what would come our way



We met the strangest man!

After the attack of that tree

He rescued me 'n the others

While he looked for lilies



Or what about when we met Strider?

At that inn in Bree!

He got everyone out of tight spots

I'd no idea he was royalty!



When the enemy was attacking

I was scared; I tried to hide

You did something foolish

Because of the cut, you almost died



We were all so worried

We went to where the elves dwell

You were made healthy again

And met an old friend, in Rivendell



With even more in our numbers

We left that beautiful place

We traveled through Moria

And our fellowship became eight



Then we arrived in Lorien

And spoke with the Morning Star

She gave us gifts before we left

And with depart we walked far



Just when I thought things were looking up

We reached the falls of Anduin

We left the others behind

I thought this might be my ruin



We traveled into horrible Mordor

And you brought that nasty sneak

I didn't trust him one bit

But he was a guide, week after week



And so we stumbled upon

The kind brother of the man

He gave us some good advice

And we told him our plan



Through the worst places we traveled

Until we ran into Shelob

You were taken by the orcs

More hopeless than ever seemed my job



But against all odds I found you

And we escaped by only a hair

There were some almost impossible cases

But luck followed all the way there



Finally at the top of the mountain

The ever-growing burden was stole

It almost brought the end

Before it fell into the fiery hole



And now here I stand,

As you fade from sight

I wonder why you leave

When everything was made right



I never thought once

That this is what you would do

This is what would happen

After all we have been through





You can't imagine the pain

That is in me because of the end

Now that I have to say

Goodbye to you, my friend



Now that I have to say

Goodbye to you, my friend
