Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings, Tolkien does.
A/N: This is the first poem I have posted, although I have put some in some of my stories. This is based on a character in my story "Faramir's Story" so if you haven't read that, then you won't get it. The character is actually the woman in Eowyn's dream in Chapter 29. I felt bad for her, and thought she needed her own voice heard. I hope you like it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am a dream.
For moments I was happy,
My husband loved me.
Our children played in the gardens.
They giggled cheerfully.
For mere moments I sat in bliss,
My husband's arms holding me close.
Our lovely house stood behind us,
The gardens swelled with blossoms.
For priceless moments I watched my children.
They had a past, a future.
They had hopes and dreams.
We were happy.
For moments till she came,
With fire in her eyes.
She did not belong here.
This is *my* family.
In that moment I saw her truth.
Her loss and love.
My husband drew me to him.
He pulled me into a kiss.
For a moment nothing mattered.
My love and his was complete.
She hated me, she loathed me.
I saw her lunge.
In that fateful moment I lost all.
The house and the garden is gone.
My children are gone, my husband is gone.
I am gone.
For a moment I was Lelaya.
A wife.
A mother.
A person.
Now I have no moments.
I have nothing.
I *am* nothing.
I am a dream.

I have another poem for a later chapter in "Faramir's Story" so tell me if I should post that one too. Please review!
