FOR THE RING. The only main character of LotR.
~~~~~~~~~

I watch them, watching me.
They are deciding, but what they don't know,
Is that I have already decided for them.

I waited, washed away,
While they forgot my vile presence,
While they drew a curtain around prying eyes...

They halted those, who sought to find me
They wanted the memory, of me, away
But it never would be you see,

For I planned and waited
Hiding myself, finding a new servant,
One easier than a Lord to manipulate...

I found him, a stoor, Smeagol by name,
He could be the one...
To bring me back to the days of Glory

But, alas, he was weak, and he lost me to another,
And I waited there as well,in a pretty land, in peaceful dirt,
I brooded my malice and corrupted their thoughts,

It was when they sought to destroy me,
That I felt the most assured...
Nothing could rid my evil of this land's depths...

Hopeless it seemed to me, all their care,
Because even as my golden form fell into a firery abyss,
I lived on. I will be there. Watching. Waiting. To come again.
