Disclaimer: I own nothing except my love for a little furry hobbit.

A/N: I wrote this while looking at the painting "Sam and Shelob" by John Howe. The man is amazing. This is my favorite part of the trilogy other then the scene on Mount Doom. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and PLEASE review! Oh, shameless plug, please read my fic, "A Knock At The Door" I'm really proud of it.=) thanks-melanie







It Can't Be True



Darkness sets upon my heart

I don't know where to turn

My master lays beside me dead

To him life won't return

Its all a whir, or so it seems

I can't just leave him here

To sentence him I cannot do

Not one I hold so dear

He's gone I must accept the fact

But no, it can't be true

Gandalf wouldn't have sent me here

If the spell I can't undo

I have to leave though I can't bear

The thought of going on

Without him standing next to me

That time just can't be gone

I now lie crumpled next to him

Crying through my pain

I can't believe it, no, I won't

He wasn't really slain

He's sleeping yes, that's what it is

"Don't leave him Sam" I say

I close my eyes to contemplate

How to face another day
