Seven Long Years

~Seven Long Years ~

I look out my window

The raindrops are my tears

Hiding from the darkness

I wish I were strong-

But I'm not.

All I do is run

Never face up

The scars on my arms, my face

They prove.

Drunk and angry

He storms down the hall

My tears stream down my face

Once clean, once whole

Thin lines of red

It now beholds.

Oh, my hero!

How I wish you were here!

Wish you had stayed…

Seven long years

How have we changed?

I, once a child,

Bursting with energy

Excitement for the world

Now nothing.

A shell, hidden soul.

How have you changed, fairy boy?

You're now a man, probably out in the world.

I'm stuck.

Can't leave.

Because of…him.

I won't take it!

That man has stolen the ranch, served the King!

No, he is no King!

He is pure evil, never will reign as a true king!

I'll take it no more!

Smashing the window

I run for me, my fairy boy.

Calling my horse

Climbing up

The rain soaks my hair, my face.

It becomes a river, I the riverbed.

The thunder, Farore.

And the striking lightning is Din.

Nayru embraces me, keeps me warm,

But never as much as that fairy boy…

Wanting to ride, I stay.

Epona won't move.

I call to her, tap with the reins.

When I hear a calm voice from behind.

"Please, please don't be afraid.

He'll get to you no more.

I promise it, swear on my life."

I turned around, only to see

The fairy boy, from seven long years ago.

Now grown, a handsome young man.

His eyes still blazing with courage.

Carefully I dismounted,

Stepping onto the sodden ground

Standing, staring, an eternity

Until he made a sound.

"Seven years ago, in that market,

Your eyes a perfect blue,

I knew from the start, in my heart,

I started loving you."

Too amazed to speak.

Only actions would be right

I took the fairy boy in my arms

And kissed him on that night.

I wrote this poem in 5 minutes, so review however you want! Yes, some parts rhymed, some didn't. And yes, I know it was long! Probably the longest thing I ever wrote! The only reason I wrote this was, well, Malon has always been hidden, in my opinion. Everyone's always like "Link and Zelda, Link and Zelda." Malon's the flower that blooms unnoticed, but Zelda's always the center of attention. Well, hope you liked, and PLEASE review! There are never enough reviews for poetry!!!!!!!

Poetry Rulez!
