A/N: A poem for the love of Sauron and Morgoth. Could be slash if you see it that way (it was written that way), don't like, don't read. Sauron, Morgoth, and Silmarillion belong to J.R.R. Tolkien. Enjoy~

I Would Burn Down the World for You

it was an easy choice

you

or the graces of the valar

I chose you

I would burn down the world for you

burn it a thousand times over

if you asked me to

when you were shunned

and pursued by the forces of light

I stayed by your side

your faithful lieutenant

I watched you level mountains

ford rivers, turn landscapes to ash

cold, cruel, calculating

beautiful

in your own way

and when they finally caught you

I could do nothing but watch

and listen

and swear revenge

on all who had caused you such pain

in that fortress

your final breaths

gasped in my arms

I swore to you

that I would wreak revenge

and during every battle

your face shone in my mind

I would burn down the world for you

set fire to all the land

level the fortresses of your murderers

anything

to bring you back

I still hear your voice in my head

sometimes

screamingragingscared in chains

other times

low and seductive

in my ears

I would burn down the world for you

burn it a thousand times over

but it would never be enough

it would never bring you back~
