Dark Contempt

Alone he sat

in dark contempt.

Alone in this cave

Gollum, he wept

Along came this traveler

Frightened and cold

In search of his friends

But now all alone.

Mr. Bilbo Baggins

A hobbit so glutinous

And as Gollum soon learned

A liar and thief nonetheless

In a game of riddles

a game of tongues

A way to decide

which fate was to come

But unfairness transpired

and Gollum played victim

He lost the one thing

That he held close to him

Alone he sat

in dark contempt

Alone in this cave

Gollum, he wept.
