Arwen's Sacrifice

by Lindiniel

A bit of a weepy poem. Set after the death of Aragorn (appendixes - or is it appendices, I dunno.) Like Bilbo said, "they lived happily ever after, until the end of their days." In fairytales, we never think of "the end of their days."

ARWEN'S SACRIFICE.

The end has come,

The end of my time.

I could have had until the end of all time.

I gave it up for love.

*

It seemed like a dream.

So distant, unreal.

I lived in the present, moved by how I feel.

I didn't see the end.

*

I am alone.

My people have left.

Torn between two but now neither are left.

There is nothing for me.

*

Separated by mortality,

The end I must take

from the bittersweet choice I had to make.

But still I do not regret.
