They look so peaceful

We can't help thinking...

I can't help thinking

This could be me? Us?

But as I watch them,

There is no he, only me

No we, only me

And I want to touch the past

I watch them sleeping

Gollum... I chase Gollum away.

My love, I remember

So briefly, who I am

I am Smeagol, only Smeagol

And Smeagol, oh, if only, I would remain

But I remain...

I remain...

I lay my hand upon them

And the urge to snatch it

My Precious!

Away...I push it away

And the monster in me melts

Melts away into dust

That settles upon brows and creases

Of ancient, graying skin

And I, Smeagol

Only I remain.

If only for a moment

Gollum goes away

Only I remain.
