Gollum's Cry by arwenvision
Where once was life
Now death has come
Where once was loving-care
Loving-care is no more
Tomorrow’s gone
And today is about to begin
I weep a cry
A cry that is no more
Don’t say-goodbye
Don’t say- I never even tried
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me
Today’s the beginning
The beginning of being free
And now we say-goodbye
We say-You never even tried
For you are lost
And you can never go home
You are lost
And you can never go home

I love the lines, “You are lost/And you can never go home.” A very touching view of Gollum, and I like the style of the poem too. It’s hard to get free verse right, and not be careless with it, but you’ve done that very well.
