My Immortal
by Kura
'I'm so tired of being here
Supressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your prescence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone'
I see it day after day. Even though the journey's ended and there is
finally peace in the world there is no peace for you. Your eyes don't
hold that spark they once did. Even now you're still bound to that
treacherous ring. It still haunts you no matter how hard I try to
stop it.
'These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase'
I've begun to realize something gradually over time. I can wish with
all my might that you'd be the master and friend I knew before the
ring came into your possession, but that won't happen, will it?
You've been through entirely too much. More than you ever should've
had to go through.
'When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me'
I've lost count how many times I've held you when your dreams became
too horrible and too real. How many times have you been forced to
relive the pain and terror of the Quest? I've been here for you
through it all, Frodo. Before, during, and after the ring claimed you.
'You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me'
I remember your smile. That genuine smile that lit up your whole face
and made your eyes shine. I miss that smile so much, Frodo. I'd give
anything to see it again. Only Elanor can get a smile out of you
these days. It's a sad, almost wistful smile, but it lifts my spirits
to see it.
'These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase'
The wounds still pain you. I can see it in your eyes, though you'd
never admit it to anyone. You continue to see yourself as a burden to
those you love. Don't you know that after all you've done not one
person in this world could ever think that? You're a hero. The savior
of Middle Earth. You did what no one else could have done.
'When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me'
It hurts so much to know that you still suffer. I'd give my life
gladly if only you could truly be happy again. I want you to be the
Frodo I fell in love with all those years ago. Back when life was
simple and all I cared about was having tea with you or listening as
you tried to teach me Elvish. All I wanted was to be with you. You'd
give me that smile and drop whatever you were doing whenever I walked
into the room. Those days were perfect.
'I've tried to hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along'
I see you sitting in the study now, staring blankly into the fire.
Your body is here in front of me, but your mind is far away. You've
gone where I can't follow. The only thing that brings you back is my
hand on your shoulder. Those blue eyes, so full of hurt, burn into my
memory forever. A single tear escapes and that's all it takes before
you're wrapped tightly in my arms. You cry your heart out on my
shoulder and when you stop after some time, I wipe away your tears.
You look up at me and, for a split second, I see a glimpse of the
real you in the small but significant smile you give me. Deep down in
my heart I still have hope.
'When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me'
The End
