You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
Thranduil sat on his throne ordering his army to search through the forest for his son, who had disappeared that morning.
You make me happy when skies are grey
His hope was fading, his son has been slipping out a lot lately, but this time, Thranduil felt it was different.
You never know, dear, how much I love you
He sank into his seat, ordering his gaurds to leave his side.
Please don't take my sunshine away
Legolas was gone. And Thranduil knew it. He shuddered as he stood up. It had been months since his disappearance now and the last threads of hope hand given way.
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
Never again could he lovingly stroke his son's face. Never again braid his hair, or kiss his nose.
He couldn't even look into his eyes. Thranduil's throat constricted.
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried.
He walked to the large balcony, looking out to the forest he lived in. Cursing the birds that chirped and flew happily about. Six months does not feel very long for most elves, but these six had been the longest Thranduil had endured.
You where my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
Everyone he loved was gone. His wife, his son, and even Elrond. He gripped the railing, his knuckles turning white.
You made me happy when skies where grey.
He'd dropped his cloak from his shoulders and pulled his slim sword from its sheath.
His heart was gone. His eyes cold as stone. He gripped his sword by the blade not caring that it sliced through the skin on his palm, in fact the sharp pain released some hidden pressure.
And now You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
He was angry. Not so much at Legolas but at himself. He had kept him too close and now he was gone. GONE the word made his mental pain worse and he ran his hands gown the blade cutting them deeper. He held the sword by the hilt and rand the blade down his pale arms. The red blood started pooling on the floor. But the pain didn't distract him as he had hoped.
Why'd you have to take my sunshine away
His eyes filled with tears. But not because of the blade; because his heart yearned to see his son. But he was gone. And soon Thranduil would be too.
Why'd you have to take my fucking
sunshine
Away
