A/N: This is a poem, but written in song format (as in it has a four line stanza that repeats like a chorus). This is from Maedhros's point of view, and he's talking to Amras (just Amras. Don't ask me why.)
Disclaimer: Characters, Events, and Places owned by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Rating: PG because these are Feanor's sons
Summery: Maedhros grieves after the third kin-slaying. *Non-slash one shot*.

Title: The Little One Weeps
Blood on ivory hands will stain the soul
Innocent eyes don't affect a heart black as coal
Even icy hearts mourn for what can never be found
And tears of glass shatter on the ground.
Fire, ash, and tears of blood from the sky
Cannot stop the blinded when the goal is nigh
Lost in grief the little one weeps
As brother's blood upon him seeps
Never more to taste the rain
Never more to love again
Locked in ice my heart shall be
Until my soul again watches over thee
Bodies on the rocks there lie
As angel tears fall from the sky
Jewel of light forever lost
As red hair, like blood, lies on the frost
Fire, ash, and tears of blood from the sky
Cannot stop the blinded when the goal is nigh
Lost in grief the little one weeps
As brother's blood upon him seeps
Hearts we've broken, lives we've torn
Loss and grief we have born
Weary of this world we are
Yet we will never again go where no men are
Tears of the last cannot return
Escape from the punishment we justly earn
Lost to this world are those most dear
Tears will not stop from the last ones near
Fire, ash, and tears of blood from the sky
Cannot stop the blinded when the goal is nigh
Lost in grief the little one weeps
As brother's blood upon him seeps
Where is the innocence of the killers now by
Lusting after the jewel now lost in the sky
After jewel or after love?
Matters not, now both are above.
Hold them dear, though both are away.
Souls gone, but bodies stay.
Testament of their brothers' lies
Ever reflected in empty gray eyes.
Fire, ash, and tears of blood from the sky
Cannot stop the blinded when the goal is nigh
Lost in grief the little one weeps
As brother's blood upon him seeps.

Well, I hope that turned out okay. I know if I don't post it now, I'll reread it and hate it ^^;. Thanks for reading, and review if you'd like!
