Author's Note: This poem is based on one I wrote a while ago but I changed
and added some things to make it fit Eowyn when she was in Rohan under
Gríma Wormtongue. (I don't own either of them, need I say). Please review
with comments/suggestions.
"My Night"
In the darkness of the night
I give up my silent fight
Succumbing to my grief and pain
Look for light and yet in vain
Thinking over life and fears
Holding back one million tears
As the light of day moves by
And starlight fills the ink-black sky
In the gentle glow of moon
I give up, accept my doom
To never find my peace or rest
Unless it can be found in death
Caged am I as though a bird
Freedom sought and still unheard
Failed to die an untried maid
To wonder to the end of days
Whether if been given chance
I would take up valour's lance
And the darkness of my night
Settles in without a fight
Evil days at least are mine
In which no light can ever shine
For I do not have far to go
Till death and honour at last I know
