Is it maybe Beren? The first stanza would be Barahir's death, and the second Beren's reclaiming of the ring. Not sure about the 'special friends' line, though.
Then the third and - especially - fourth are about Tol-in-Gaurhoth (not the game, don't get excited); the last lines are about Finrod fending off the final Wolf and saving Beren from death.
(All this maudlin brooding about how They All Keep Dying On Me is very Beren, too...)
