I heard there was a secret chord,
The Elves played and it pleased the lords
But you don’t really care for music do you?
It goes like this: the forth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah…

You seemed so wonderful. When I first met you along time ago, I though I 
could never have you. I didn’t know it would be this easy to come by, or 
this hard to get through. I remember having to pinch myself to get out of 
my fantasies, and I’d remind myself that you had Arwen; Undomiel. I 
thought it would all be over after the council of Elrond had finished, but to 
no avail. I should have stopped myself, but when you offered your service, 
I had to. I had to see if I could have a chance for your affections. 

We travelled together, and you never returned my approaches. Did you not 
see my longing? But still you held me, under the leaves of Lorien as I 
wept for the loss of Mithrandir. And you gave me hope when the 
fellowship broke and Boromir was slain, but never was it more than 
friendship.     

~*~

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw me bathing on the roof
My beauty in the moonlight overthrew you.  
I tied you to a kitchen chair,
I broke your throne; I cut your hair,
And from your lips I drew the hallelujah…

~*~

As we travelled, I liked to spend time alone, thinking of you. But I didn’t 
know you watched me in my most private moments, moments when you 
were the centre of my pleasure and I called your name into the darkness 
that I felt so safe in. Then you began to fall for me. You watched me in the 
moonlight, then you wanted me, and it was bliss. Being in your arms, 
kissing you softly, but you looked down on me. I had to show you I was 
more than a pretty Elf. So I hurt you, I don’t know why, and I hurt myself 
even to this day because of it. At Helm’s deep, my faith in you left me. 
And it took much wine for me to apologize to you. We still fought 
together and loved, but still was that nagging feeling in the back of are 
minds: Arwen; Undomiel. 

~*~

You know that I’ve been here before
I know this room; I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah…

~*~

Then you married her. Out of the blue. Never did you tell me are love was 
over. You never gave me warning, but still you did cry for me. Then you 
told me you still loved me, and we continued to share pleasure, even 
though you were married. But I didn’t want it like that. I wanted sheer 
devotion. I wanted me to be the one you shared your life with, I would 
have given up my immortality for you Aragorn! 

~*~

There was a time when you’d let me know
What was real and going on below,
But now you never show it to me do you?
I remember when I moved in you
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah…

~*~

Now they are only memories. For I never told you just how much I loved 
you, how I would be with you. Finally you died, and there is no comfort 
for me.  Now I pass over to the undying lands alone. I would have taken 
you with me if only you weren’t so scared of a love that was never wrong. 
They tell me I should forget you. But how do I forget a love that would 
span the ages, bringing hope to all lovers? 

~*~

Maybe there’s a god above,
And all I ever learnt from love:
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew me.
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
