dear diary

the world i now knew
has been replaced with a castle full of secrets
that have all been built around You

i sleep in the rooms many floors below yours
and You promised me one day 
that i would have 
a wonderful library tower 
in the shadow
of towers that are Yours 
when i am old enough

in that one is a telescope
to count all the stars
as if anypony has the time

dear diary 

i wish on those stars sometimes
just so that the Princess knows
i will be more than
Her faithful student
i want to be
somepony She never forgets

i hope She can't hear me
from all Her windows above mine
and not just because it would ruin my wish
to have it spoiled by the wind
or because She told me 
not to open my window
when i am so high above
this sleeping city 

my sleeping city

She doesn't know
that i want my own secrets 
if only just sometimes
and i will keep them like lanterns
to light the dark
i sometimes feel
instead of the lighthouse beacon 
they would be
if She ever knew how scary it was 
to feel like a candle in Her light
and only Her huge shadow over me
as another reminder 
She is a Goddess
an Other
to a pony like me 

i would hate for every lesson i could ever learn
to end before they even began
because a great Goddess brighter than stars
(and probably way older too)
thinks i might fall out a window
(again)

p.s. 
i do not think
i will feel this way 
around Her
too much 
longer
