I was inspired by the Merlin finale, Imogen Heap's Wait It Out, and Florence and the Machine's No Light No Light. I do not own Merlin or the songs previously mentioned, I just had to write something since Merlin was so great it pushed me into depression and made me wonder why I had been given emotions at all. So, to celebrate such an awesome series, I wrote a poem! It is called The Wretched Hollow. Let me know what you think?


A Queen without a King,

The Knights without a leader.

A wound that has no healer,

And the sword without it's wielder.

No happiness without sorrow,

No peace without plight.

No war without it's casualties,

In eyes there is no light.

The priestess has been scorned,

So on lakes the dead we'll send.

The prophecies are written,

The beginning of the end.

In the diamond of the day,

He goes where his friend can't follow.

Their lives were born by fate,

And they end in the wretched hollow.
