Link's Story

Summary: This poem touches on a kind of depressing topic about how the journey affected both Link and Ghirahim. This poem doesn't run as smoothly as Ghirahim's Story to me, but that may vary for the people reading. (Why do I sound so formal) Anyways, I hope you enjoy Link's point of view about Ghirahim and himself.

Link's Story

The journey ended just over two years ago

With nothing but a terrified Demon Lord to show

And as the Hero lay down in his bed

The haunting memories start to replay in his head

They're the memories of a battle fought alone

And the depressing thought of how his fear had grown

And as the Hero shifted to lay on his side

He felt the tears he had been trying to hide

The battle was rough on more than just him

And the proof was shown in none other than Ghirahim

He thought of how this Demon had caused so much pain

And how the other had acted as if the battle was a game

But the lies the one who taught him to smile again

There also lies the one whom he may consider a friend

They both had been put through way too much

And it could be seen in both as such

It scares him how, when he thinks to the past

He's honestly surprised that he managed to last

It's not even the battle his mind thought about

It was the time after, when he woke to sobbing and shouts

And even if, in his thoughts, the Hero still had his doubts

He'd be proved wrong in the times the Demon had acted out

As everything they did was playfully good natured and fun

To Link, it seemed as though the Demon's life had just begun

It's what the Hero thought, back when he watched Ghirahim play

But it seems the Demon's torment came with the end of day

It had happened every night since the Hero first noticed it

And every night he'd crawl out of bed, for hours he'd sit

Sometimes, he would even decide to lie down next to him

Waiting for more night terrors to awake his Demon

And whenever they did, he would always be there

Just to hold Ghirahim and show that he cared

And in the morning, when all was well

Things would be said, but neither would tell

But for now, the Hero's happy and everything is great

And he will be forever thankful they are bound by the string of fate.

Author's Note:

So on a further note, I've kind of decided the people I plan to write about next, I just have to actually start the poems. Anyways, Ghirahim and Link have always been two of my favorite characters from Legend of Zelda and I hope you guys enjoyed these poems. (Also, for the first review, that was great because I didn't look at the word count so it was completely unintentional but thank you for pointing that out. I have no regrets. Also, I thank the two of you who reviewed because they were really nice and I appreciate it so much!) Thank you to everyone else for reading as well!
