Disclaimer: I own nothing except my really whacked out head. But maybe this time it wasn't so whacked out! =) Oh and all poems are mine so please keep um that way!



A/N: Ok this is very sad, and HAS SOME SPOILERS! So stop reading if you don't want to know what happens at the end of ROTK. Thanks.



The shock has long since passed away

He knows he had to leave

All he can hope is that he's happy

Though he knows his heart will always grieve

To see his master go through much

And not keep his reward

And still he tries to understand

Why he walked out of the door

To sail upon the ship so strong

And leave him there behind

And still his words are ever constant

Replaying in his mind

"The Shire was saved, but not for me"

A tear then gently falls

But a simple promise keeps him stable

Until the havens call

The road is long back to his hole

Riding softly through the night

A brother on each side of him

With home soon still in sight

But unfulfilled the journey seems

Without the humble one

But through it all he'll always know

The chapter's never done.







(A/N: Alright this is where I start to cry very reluctant, but nonetheless hysterical tears. Gosh, I can't believe I can upset myself like that. I hope you liked that, depressing and sad as it may be. I think I need a tissue! *sniff*
