DiScLaImEr I did not invent Faramir, Boromir, Denethor, or indeed any other Lord of the Rings Characters. They are the creative property of J.R.R. Tolkein.

AN Wow, this is the first serious or sad fic I've done yet! All my others are humor. Wow. Awkward silence Poor Faramir.

My dearest brother Boromir,

The man who fought and died,

Whilst I had fought and lived

My heinous crime

Which my father never shall forgive.

Son of Lords, a noble man,

Denied by death a steward's crown

If only you were here,

To stand beside me as I fight,

My friend and brother Boromir. 

And I am the lowly youngest son,

The second choice and child

Who must serve in my brother's stead,

To live forever in his shadow,

A trivial figurehead.

My only brother, Boromir,

If only I could have been in your shoes

The day you sacrificed yourself

To save your fellowship,

Four hobbits, king and dwarf and elf

My dearest brother Boromir,

The broken horn and bloody sword

That sailed down the river

The only treasures left of you

For you are gone forever.
