Twilight stared deeply, into the hole,
A void that would swallow both body and soul,
A heart so heavy,
She was ready,
To take the first step to places untold. 

But holding her back, with a cry of reproach,
Was I, a mare, with a snow white coat.

“Why must you go?” I cried out with a tear.
“Don’t leave!” I said, voicing my fear.

“I leave to save you, my dear Rarity,
I leave to save all so dear to me.”

“But saving you, that’s what’s important!
Without you, my days will be torment!”

Raising a wing, she too raised my head,
She then kissed I, the mare she had wed.

“There is no other choice, my sweet Rarity,
For it is but I who can stop this calamity.”

Then her heart so pure, so full of hope,
Led her away, down the dark slope.
