//------------------------------// // Side by Side // Story: Spike's Poem Anthology to Twilight // by Zephyr Spark //------------------------------// When I was born into the world an orphan, She’s beside me. When bullies treat me like a monster, She’s beside me. When ponies ask when she’ll return me to the wild, She’s beside me. When I get dragon flue and think I might die, She’s beside me. When I look in the mirror and wonder who I am supposed to be, She’s beside me. When I get my heart broken, She’s beside me. When I think about mom or dad, She’s beside me. When she needs me, I will be by her side. When she is sad, I will be by her side. When she wants to be treated like a normal pony, I will be by her side. When she is stressed, I will be by her side. When her heart is broken, I will be by her side. When she wonders who she’s supposed to become, I will be by her side. When her birthday comes in a month, I will be by her side. When Equestria turns to ash amidst the cosmos, We will stand side by side and face tomorrow.
