This is a poem I wrote based on my fanfic. I know, I'm a bit absorbed by my stories, but I LOVE writing. So much so that it gets me in trouble. Your free to read this if you want, and tell me what you think. Though it may not make much sense if you haven't read my fanfic or played Fire Emblem PoR. And it's really just sappy now that I think about it. Also, this poem (at least I think it would be considered a poem, maybe a sonnet or something) has two parts that kind of intertwine or whatever. Gemmetra's side, and Naesala's side. I would have written them side-by-side, but this won't let me. But enough of my rambling...

Gemmetra's Side

I remember the first time I saw you...
I had just lost everything I knew
But was too young to understand
I smiled at you, but your expression remained cold
My very presence discusted you
I know now that you hadn't wanted me there

But now things are differant between us
We have since fallen in love
Now you go out of your way to make me smile, if only a little
You keep me by your side, where I feel safe
You hold my hand and kiss my cheek
I'm glad I'm yours forevermore

Before, I worked for you, a faithful servant
You would tease and flirt, but it was all just play
We could not be, that's the way things were
And even if that hadn't been so, I doubted you would love me
I guess I was wrong
Or else you wouldn't be with me right now

Some time ago, someone else came along
He thought I loved him, but I did not
He tried to steal me away from you, before we ever existed
But pride comes before a fall
And you brought me home, safe and sound
It was then I learned how much you cared

You've taken me flying, and shown me the skies
And now both of my greatest wishes have come true
You have made me your queen, despite the odds
Perhaps the goddess meant for us to be
For now I hold your full-blooded child
As gently as you have always held me

Naesala's Side

I remember the first time I saw you...
You were just a child then
You were innocent and naive
Too young to know who you were smiling so brightly at
I was disgusted at that smile
You didn't belong here, and I didn't want you here

But now, that very same smile makes me want to melt
You've grown, and become an adult
And now you smile at me, no longer a stranger, but you husbend
I would do anything to keep you safe and content
And yet all you ask for nothing, but my embrace
But I give my beloved everything just the same

You were a servant of mine, some time ago
You charmed me in ways I could not explain
And I grew more fond of you than I should have
I wasn't sure if you felt the same, but it wouldn't matter anyways
You simply could not be mine
But things change, and here we are

There was a time another man came
He tried to woo you, and I couldn't help but grow jealous
However, without him, I would never have realised our love wasn't impossible
He grew angry, and tried to force you hand
So now his blood is on mine
But I couldn't let him take you from me

Now we're together, bound for life
I never thought this to be possible
And now you are my mate, something that was formally forbidden
I guess we're just lucky
And now we have a full-blooded child
And we will raise him together


I'm still not sure if this counts as a poem... I may rewrite it sometime in the future. Bye!
