Just found this while shuffling through old computer files. Hope you enjoy;)

A Queen never cries.
That is the one phrase running through my mind as I follow the funeral procession. However much it feels as if my heart is being scooped out with a rusty knife and strung on a gibbet, I am the Queen of Gondor. A Queen does not shed tears, unless they are tears of joy.
My father warned me this would happen. ÒWhether by the sword, or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die.Ó And I, foolish with love, denied it. ÒOur love can survive anything,Ó I said. ÒHe will always love me, and I him. That is all that matters.Ó By the Vala, how could I be so stupid? So much else matters. Love is wonderful, but it is not enough. You need more.
I wonder what will happen to me after this. After I have lived out my mourning, which, of course, I will. I am one of the Elf-kind, doomed and blessed to live forever, to never love a mortal. Cursed to live out all the Ages of the world without a blemish.

My first try at anything remotely angsty, so remember, feedback is always appreciated.
