Lament for a Noldo

by Aredhel Ereinionchil

Amarië's lament in Aman for Finrod. A new perspective on their relationship, because it sickens me when Amarië's portrayed as a goody-two-shoes who was too prissy to get her nails dirty for Finrod. Let me warn you, it is slightly teary.

Days by the sea,
wind whipping my hair,
You always seemed to be watching,
You were always there.

No matter how much I ran,
I could never hide from you,
Finally I gave in,
And admitted my love was true.

Why did you leave me?
My hope, my life,
I loved you, waited for you,
Oh why all this strife?

Why did you rebel,
we would have been wed,
But now I see you in Mandos' Hall,
My love, struck dead.

I would have come with you,
Forsaking my home,
Wherever you went,
with you I would roam.

Oh why did you leave?
I only loved you,
And to this day,
Our love stays true.
