Love and Loss

Lydwina Marie

Best friends we were for many years,

We shared our laughter, shared our tears,

Now he is gone, I weep alone

In halls before the empty throne.

To no one can I turn and go,

For boundless grief they cannot know.

Now he is gone; I am alone

In the dark halls by empty throne.

His mortal years were less than mine,

but in the night his eyes would shine

with love and strength, unkindled fire

and from his sword would pour his ire.

I weep and sing for Aragorn,

for from my eyes his life was torn.

And now I weep, I am alone

In the dark halls by empty throne.
