Love and Death

It doesn't matter the words I've tossed

Or the words I have profaned

It doesn't matter the hope I've lost

Or the hope I will regain

All that matters is you are gone

And you will never come back.

And all the words I held so fond

Are the words, which now I lack.

They took you away from me, My Love,

They took you so very far

That not even the deities, which reign above,

Can find out where you are.

Death is not a fickle thing,

It cares not love or pain.

It tears apart the sweet desires

Of hate and love the same.

And yet, somehow, through all this truth,

I sense a sudden flaw

That death is not a definite end

But a beginning for us all

It teaches us to live life anew,

And to love like we've never loved.

To stop and say things like, "I love you,"

And admiring things such as a dove.

But all this talk of life reborn

Does not take away the burn.

The pain that you are not here with me

And you will ne'er return.

They took you away from, My Love,

They took you so very far

That not even the deities above

Can find out where are.

They said they had to have you,

They had to have your help!

They said that if you didn't think of them

You'd be thinking of only yourself.

Pressured by guilt and pressured by shame

They led you to a lair

To kill a beast that had not been slain

And had been wreaking havoc there.

I begged and begged you not to go,

But you wouldn't listen to me.

So you went there to make a show

And prove how brave you could be.

And so now

You cannot be found.

I must ask,

Were you glory bound?

To risk your life

And keep them be

And in doing so

Give up your life with me?

A fool's errand is what it was!

That's all it will ever be

But to fathom you as a fool

Is something new to see.

My thoughts are leading nowhere

Except to the painful truth

A reality that I can hardly bare

To live with in my youth.

Emotions have overcome me

As I start to weep for you

I crumple to the ground and cry

My tears stream out wet and blue.

I've thought nothing for a while

('Tis hard to think while you cry)

I feel the ground shake with steps

Has something gone awry?

I wipe the tears from off my face

And settle into a form untrue.

I turn to see a figure pace,

My heart gives a jolt! It's you!

I know those eyes I know that face

I know those arms so strong

I come into your warm embrace

A place I wanted for so long.

You stroked my hair and tilted my head

I looked into your eyes azure.

You kissed me passionately and strong

A kiss so strong and sure.

I spoke my thoughts:

"They took you away from me, My Love,

They took you so very far

That not even deities above

Could find out where you are."

All the emotions I had before

Have been replaced with hope and joy!

My heart is singing, praising, elating

No longer death's cruel toy.

He started to speak:

"I slayed the beast Zelda and lost my way

I thought my life was through

The only thing that kept me going

Was the constant image of you.

We held each other once more

And as he caressed me I came to think

He is the, one the only

My darling precious Link.

.AN: I know this isn't probably what you were expecting but I haven't written poetry in so long. I also want to note that this poem is supposed to be in stanzas of four. But since this program will not allow that (glare) it is written improperly. Now read it again in the proper stanzas and it will prbably make more sense.
