FaeWings
By SK
-MEMORIES-
Outside, the moon howls from my window.
This home may be wooden and dank, but I remember when it was full of life.
Every day, around sunrise, when you would come to see me
We'd leave in a hurry, running through the village,
Leaping from stone to stone while water rushed beneath us
Trying to find each other through the tall grass
Or failing to reach that highest branch on every tree.
My fairy's scolding would ring in our ears,
but childish intuition would drown it out with laughter and song.
-SECRETS-
You would always ask me what I was thinking,
As I stood on the pillar and gazed pass the town.
I told you it was a secret. It was my secret.
But I can tell you now that I know you don't care.
I wanted to leave this village. To leave behind my childhood.
Become a woman and venture from these tree houses.
And now... as I gaze past the lunar
I know the real reason I wanted to leave
Was so I could come see you.
Fighting alongside you in your battles and help you save the world.
Smiling at you when it seems the odds were against us.
-COURTESY-
The forest changes as thought it always had.
The falling of the leaves, the growing of the leaves.
The blooming of the petals, the withering of the flower.
I don't change physically, but inside I tire.
It makes it worse when I know I can't be with you.
Will you ever return to talk to me, out of pure care?
I don't want to help your stupid quest.
I don't want to help you save the Princess.
But I do out of pure courtesy.
Like you're a stranger.
-DREAMS-
I visit the Deku on a daily basis.
I relax onto its branches and vines
While it tells me what you have been up to.
I could call you with my ocarina,
But I'd rather sleep and pretend what our conversation would be like.
Excuses...
You'd like to visit, and you'd like to call, but you are busy.
Slaying a dragon that holds the golden key to a dungeon.
And after you explore that dungeon, you will come back to see me.
You'll take me from this accursed village to a small home you have by the
coast
Where we will get married and have children of our own.
I think I'm going insane.
-JEALOUSY-
So I've heard about... the others.
Princesses Ruto and Zelda, as well as a sweet farm girl, Malon.
They all seem very nice, but until I meet them, I can't approve.
And the fact is, I can't meet them, so I shall never approve.
Two of them are Sages too. So you come to visit them for the same reasons.
One happens to already be married to you.
The other is an angelic princess of whom you've rescued on a daily basis.
And the other... gave you a horse.
They all seem pretty useless to me. At least I raised you.
Regardless of how you look at it, I made you who you are.
-GUARDIAN-
When you didn't have your fairy, others used to make fun of you
You were guardian-less, and prone to disaster
From the mischievous adventures we used to partake in.
But I told them that I was your guardian
And I would never let anything happen to you.
But now, you are far out of reach.
Always moving quickly and jumping from boulder to boulder.
Crawling through tight spaces, throwing a nut at the target.
Just like I taught you.
But no matter how hard I stretch, my fae wings don't extend that far.
