A/N- Try and see if you can figure out who this is before the last stanza, and no looking at the characters!

Good Things Never Last
The smell of shampoo
A lone lock of hair
A man by himself
A pain he can't bear
His face towards the sky
A downpour of rain
Lost in his memories
Of love and of pain
A beautiful girl
His name on her lips
Graceful and strong
His hands on her hips
A night in her arms
A year by her side
An eternity of love
A passion they can't hide
A plan was hatched
With dire consequence
Kept secret, kept safe
As love's only chance
A secret, a wedding
A woman, a bride
A furious father
With thrice-shattered pride
Exiled and outcast
Traveling by night
Haunted by dreams
And a forgotten birthright
A quest has begun
Nine men, one task
A ring is destroyed
For peace that would last
But still he is haunted
By future, by past
Arwen is gone now
Good things never last.
