A Songfic. I'd thought the lyrics went pretty well with a certain elf prince we all appreciate, especially given his yearning for the ocean. I guess you could think of this as the song of the girl he'd left behind.

Lamentations

My lover's gone
his boots no longer by my door
he left at dawn
and as I slept I felt him go

Lost amid a sea of waking dreams, I felt him go.

The smell of the rain wafted through the window, as I lay in bed, unwilling to move. I felt so comfortable in my limbs, languid even, that it was easy to forget that he wasn't next to me. The wind breezed through the room, but I resolved to stay in bed.

I wasn't about to let my world crash on me.

I know exactly where he's gone.

Returns no more
I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again

Afterall, it wasn't a question of whether he loved me. It was whether he loved me more?

I tell myself that it's better this way. Now I can go on through life without being plagued by remorse, or be pierced when his eyes take on that faraway gaze.

Maybe I should have a funeral for him? Symbolic, in the sense that he's now dead to this world. Mourning in my heart, as I walk through the forest that he had once loved.


My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last
no more his song
the tune upon his lips has passed.

I still remember the night before he left. The sky didn't seem to have ever been more starry, and we strolled in the usual sweet, solemn way.

I never wanted it to end.

He kissed me for the first time that night. I don't even know why he'd bothered. Didn't he know that that final kiss would torment me for the rest of my life? He laughed and my soul soared, carried by his haunting song.

A lingering farewell.

I sing alone
while I watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again.

I've broken my resolve.

I find myself on the seashore, staring at the surf.

My eyes sweep the horizon, searching in vain to glimpse the Isles.

I wonder if this yearning would last for long?

Especially since he's

Never coming back?

Bring him home again…

Ok, that's it. There may be other versions of it, if I feel like revamping. It's kinda sad and accepting… at least that's the mood I was aiming for! I kinda like it in its entirety, so I think this is how I'll leave it. Review!
