DISCLAIMER: I don't own *Lord Of The Rings* (dammit), nor do I own the song in asterisks, *Points Of Authority*. Respectively everything in here belongs to JRR Tolkien and Linkin Park. So sue me if you want, but be warned: MY DADDY'S A LAWYER!! Mwahaha...anyway, this contains slash m/m innuendo concerning Legolas/Aragorn, so if you don't like it, here's your chance to go away!





Good, hopefully, by now you should have left if you're not fond of slash fics. But those of you that are left, enjoy!!

*Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you've learned)
You have to act like you're someone
(You live what you've learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learned)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken*

How long will this last?

I fear it. Nay, I fear you.

I think I always have done.

The way you look at me. It was tender at first. Those great, wise eyes were filled with passion. Love...

Or perhaps I was just blind. Perhaps I did not see what perhaps was always there. The way you see me now, as though I am a toy, worthless and to be used when you see fit. Did you see me then, in that way? Did you?

And do you feel anything more for me now?

You have broken me. You have twisted and changed me, and bent me to your will. There was a time when you would have died for me. Would you see me dead now?

And when you look at me, eyes luminous in the dying firelight, what do you feel?

I think you hate me. I think I drove you to hate. Forgive me, my King. Forgive me for loving you, needing you, forsaking everything just to know that you are there.

Just to know that I can keep you.

And now, now I am kept.

There was a time when you would have died for me.

Watch me die for you now.
