I hope you are ready to cry for this chapter. Frodo has his own song. We best let Frodo grieve with the deaths of his friends in this chapter. I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 42
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
Frodo lumping into what was left of Helms Deep's keep. Tears fell from his eyes at the thought of his friends. He began to sing a song for them.
(Frodo)
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
Now my friends are dead and gone
Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came
From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn
Soon, the spirits of Boromir and the rebels appeared around Frodo. In their hands, they held candles that lit up the room in their own spirit forms.
(Frodo)
Oh, my friends, my friends, forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the windows
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
Where my friends will meet no more
Oh, my friends, my friends, don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
Where my friends will sing no more
When Frodo looked to his right he saw Aria standing there with tears in her eyes and holding her hand out at him. He took her hand which was soft and smooth and walked back to the Shire with her. Along side them was Aragorn.
I wanted to make this as close to the 10th Anniversary and 2012 movie as possible. I cried so hard while I was writing this chapter. I hoped you enjoyed.:')
