Author’s Notes: An angsty poem inspired by TK during a conversation about Mary 
Sues. She suggested a girl who pines for her hero, but NEVER gets her man. 
Tragic, isn’t it? So this one’s for TK. 

See if you can figure out who the hero is.


I Weep For Thee

 
My dearest love, it cannot be

That now I sit and weep for thee

 
I watched you always, night and day

And still, my dear, you went away
 

You did not know, you did not see

The homely girl that pined for thee

 
Your journey met a tragic end

I’m told you died to save a friend

 
My heart is breaking, my head is hung

Your grave is dug; you’re far too young 
 

To meet a doom so painfully

My warrior, I weep for thee
 

A memory brings joy in woe

When I first saw you, long ago
 

Your handsome face, it wooed me so

You won my heart; you did not know
 

Oblivious, my lord, you were

This girl; you did not notice her
 

This girl was I, my heart was aching

Everyday my dream was breaking

 
As I was slowly forced to see

Together we could never be
 

And still I hoped, and still I dared

That somehow we could make a pair
 

When you came out into the street

I ran outside in hopes to meet
 

My armored dream, my handsome lord

Though not for me, your smile still a reward
 

When you rode off, I said a prayer

That any power would guide you there
 

I waited oh so anxiously

Each day I strained my eyes to see

 
A sign of you; you never returned

My heart felt like it had been burned

 
My precious love, your soul’s now free

Ne’er to meet again, I weep for thee
 

Where shall I go? What shall I do?

My dream has died; my heart has, too

 
I shall not live in this mortal hell

If you have died, I will as well

 
And when this world I do depart

They’ll find this note clutched to my heart

 
Because you never looked at me

My Boromir, I weep for thee
