A/N: Ok, so, one of my first tries at LotR poetry. May become a series of poems linked into one. I might even try a song-fic. Just tell me what you think. I just wrote this on a whim, and I'm planning to write a story to go with it. This is supposed to be from Aragorn's POV after something tragic happens.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Belongs to Tolkien.
Lost
The suffering has been so great
My soul can barely contemplate
No coming back to what I was
So hard to mend because
What happened that fateful day.
Shattered I try to find my way
Out of this world of pain,
Something to keep me sane.
The world seems to mock me
How can they not see
I've mocked myself enough,
I blame myself for much,
More than they've ever known
The sorrow I have sown
How could they understand?
I'm on a boat that cannot keep sight of land.
If my name means Hope, where is it now?
