why do You talk to me
like i want to 
(or could)
fail You?

Your every command
has padded my life
freeing
all my time
only so
You might
chain it
as You please
to all the paths
paved with promises
only You
can speak
and 
ignite
in me



i think
that if
i could
even i would breathe
for You
(and You alone)
to show You
that i am sunset shimmer
Your faithful student
brightest pupil
favorite talented prodigy 
promising pupil star
so that You should love me
the way i do You



let me be
Your little princess
like nopony else could 
because i want to light the world for You



yet

i feel


You have let me slip
just a few steps
away from Your side
leaving me
closer to
the edge
of Your shadow
then i can remember



i
who
have only
ever
wanted
lived
studied
for what You
might give me
for i
gave You
me
and
the first and only
Mother's day gift
i ever got to make
only for You
to look


confused
