Disclaimer: I don't own anything that is copyrighted, besides a few Zelda games, and hopefully 'Twilight Princess' as soon as it comes out.
A/N: My great-grandmother died recently and I was actually basing this on myself, but I saw that I could change it to fit a Legend of Zelda character.
This is dedicated to Ilvinaeda for being so very helpful, and Black Triforce for sticking with me.
Haunting
The face now so mature pulls at my heart
I know you're no longer the same.
Too much pain has past your view
For you to remain as you were.
Even though,
I still clung to false hopes
And wanted to pull you back.
Everything happened too fast.
You left your heart amid the blood
Yet just walked away
Thinking you were stronger.
I see past your useless mask;
The smile that is only false.
You've given up but still try.
There's nothing I can do,
But I fear you're loosing reality.
Every day I worry and all night I cry
For you're not the same anymore.
It's all my fault
And I wish I had taken your place.
Now all I can do is wait here for your return
Yet I don't want to see your face again.
You're no longer yourself the more you fight
So I try to keep you here,
But it's hard to convince you to stay
When I know that you'll leave while I'm sleeping.
A peaceful look contorted in pain
Is the last I see of your once-smiling face.
The youthful one is gone now
And the adult hero has faded
Into a sea of colors;
They're all shades of gray.
I cry sometimes
Into the empty air.
One thousand people surround me
Each mutters their sorrows to me
And theirs final goodbye to the hero.
A visit I pay every night,
When everyone else is sleeping,
To your current home.
I wish you hadn't gone there
Yet I was unable to stop you.
It seemed that at last you couldn't win...
Death had made it's choice.
Yet sometimes,
When no one else is listening,
I think I hear a whisper...
In response to my silent prayers.
None may hear my voice
and my crying heart is hidden
But there's someone who is watching...
Or is it just imagination?
It's haunting me...
