The Dream You Can’t Wake Up From

I can’t believe I’m still alive
After what I tried to do.
I almost killed my sister, Tia,
And all the ponies, too.

And after all that, what Celestia did
I almost cannot comprehend. 
She had the heart to let me live
When the world, I tried to end. 

She could have killed me, but instead
Locked me away in the sky. 
Alas, the memories haunt me so.
I almost yearn to die.  

Well, Luna, you got your wish. 
Nighttime to last forever. 
The sun never reaches this desolate rock.
There’s no light whatsoever. 

As it turns out, my beautiful moon 
Is a cold and lonely place.
I just want to go back home.
To Tia’s loving embrace.

But I had to go and ruin the life
That I had and yet ignored.
The happiness, joy, warmth and love
Had all been there before.

I was so blinded by jealousy,
So filled with cold despise,
That I ignored the loving ponies
Right before my eyes. 

This is all my fault, I gave her no choice
But to banish me up in the sky. 
She had to do it, I was out of control,
There was vengeance in my eyes.

At least this way, nopony gets hurt
At the hands of a monster like me. 
That is the only solace I have:
That they’re all safe and free. 

I never meant for this to happen. 
I just wanted love, that is all.
I let it get the best of me, 
And now it’s caused my downfall. 

I don’t even deserve to be loved anymore,
Not after all I’ve done.
I hope they just forget about me. 
It’s best for everyone. 

I wish that I could take it back,
Go back to the way things were. 
Resume my life of happiness
With my belov’d sister. 

That hope is but a fantasy, 
I’m stuck here all alone. 
Trapped until the end of time
On this rock I now call home. 

Nopony to talk to, not one single friend
And that is how it should be. 
The only way that they can be saved
Is to stay away from me.

It’s torture, banished up here on the moon.
However, the worst part of it;
No matter what I’m forced to endure,
I deserve every last bit.
