Fire Emblem Fan Fiction / Fire Emblem Fan Fiction ❯ Despair ❯ Despair ( Chapter 1 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Authoress Note: This will be the first of the new burst of poems I just came up with. Being the first FE: PoR poem I am posting, I hope it will be a success. Now, in this poem I wanted to show another very possible side of Ike. The one that could have been hiding behind the one we saw every day of his life. His thoughts a day or two after Greil's death.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem, no matter how magnificent it is.

Despair

Father

Nothing is right anymore...

My whole world crashed...

and then burned...

Now, no other day

is likeany other.

I'll miss you dearly,

as much as beloved mother.

Mist keeps crying...

The aches and pains

in my chest

won't go away.

No matter how much

I beg or pray.

I'm desperate.

I have to lead now?

Two have now left

because of ME.

No one wants me...

No one needs me...

They want Greil,

of Greil's Mercernaries.

Not a chump like me...

But I'll lead,

because you said...

because...

There all lamenting...

Regretting...

Crying...

Well past mourning...

So in the end,

they do need me.

I guess...

I don't know...

I'm not allowed

to say that am I?

I have to be the tough guy.

The one everyone depends on...

Is this what it's like?

Knowing, your hands are

gripped tightly on their lives?

Is that fair?

Now I only scowel,

showing no fear.

Or else the tears.

The never-ending fear

I'll have for the rest

of MY years.

Father, I love you.

If only you were back,

I could see you.

Father...

Nothing is right anymore.

All because your gone,

and only Mist is worth living for.

The day you died,

my heart broke once more.

Goodbye father

Goodbye Greil

Never again will I

be able to wail...

Yes, I made Ike much more emotional. I wanted to explore the what-if side more and this is what I produced. Hope you look at this and consider the other possibilities. All feedback welcome.
