"I often think that the night is alive and more richly colored than the day." -Vincent Van Gogh

On a rainy night, a stallion finds inspiration with only the moon, a canvas, and a paintbrush.

I was once a pony with a normal life.

Then came the day that changed it all.

I had to protect her, no matter what happened to me as a result. It was the right thing to do. I hadn't stopped them before, so I had to then. I couldn't let her take the pain. So I took the blame and the pain.

But I deserve it. I didn't stop this before, so I should take it now. It's my own fault for not trusting my instinct... I lost all hope, I broke.

But I didn't shatter. For I am a shadow of the dusk...

With events that cause them strife, which may make them want to roar.
This tale is of one such being, who thought life was disagreeing
With her when she lost her sister, who forever she’d adore.
Perhaps another can step in, since she’s lost one she does adore…

I was inspired to write this when Unique SKD took his own shot at 'going Poe' (said story has since been deleted, unfortunately). It just took me a while to work out the kinks with this one.

My second story in poem form, I followed the trochee as best I could. It wasn’t easy.
