Zidane's Personal Thoughts

Am I Alright?

Author's Note: I LOVE Final Fantasy 9, but I haven't had a chance to finish it yet. I'm still on disk two! Anyway, I wrote this after playing the scene where Zidane, Steiner, Freya and Vivi find Garnet in the chapel and fight off those twin jokers. It's Zidane's thoughts when he lays Garnet on the couch and talks to Steiner before Beatrix shows up. I'm not that good at writing poems but I thought "hey what the heck!" when this popped into my head.

I don't own FF9 or any of the characters.

Oh Garnet I'm so sorry,

For not being here to protect you.

You have to snap out of this

I wish there was something I could do.

Your protector asked if I was alright,

I answered, "I can not shed a tear,"

For I felt so helpless not being able

To save the life I hold most dear.

Yours.

Girls have never affected me this way before

What are you doing to me?

Is this love that I'm sensing…

No it can't be.

I'm not acting like myself,

And it's scaring me more and more.

Usually I'm brave, headstrong and daring,

But not after seeing you there beyond the chapel door.

You'll be fine, we'll get out of here

Let this not be how it will end.

Oh for Alexandria's sake (and mine), come back to us

Dagger, Garnet, and friend.
