Mortality
Your lives so short and small but
grand and filled with things I can't know
Mortal lives are so fleeting and brief
even among the dunedain.
your lives sometimes pass us by
in the blinks of time.
My eyes are wide open trying
to understand wanting to see.
I hold my memories of you close and
freeze them in time.
Because I know one day I will
have blinked and you would
have passed me by.
My heart tears inside! denying
the limits of your mortality
I know not what I will do
when you die.
