My Little Poemy: Diary of a Deity

Torturing The Both Of Us

Torturing the Both of Us

I’m sorry, Luna, for what I’ve done,
I wish I’d had a choice.
I had to protect my cursed sun,
And now all the ponies rejoice.

They seem to think you were a monster,
Needing to be slain.
But you were still my little sister.
Can’t they see my pain?

A party in honor of the sun.
I wish they wouldn’t remind me.
My heart feels though it weighs a ton,
From anguish I can’t flee.

Luna, where did I go wrong?
I thought you were so happy.
How was I blind for so very long?
Your pain I could not see.

What happened to us, little sister?
What is it I don’t know?
I heard not a single whisper.
Why did your anger grow?

Without you I am all alone,
No one with whom I can talk.
All the ponies see the throne,
And all they do is gawk.

The only one who understood
What we both go through.
And for the sake of common good
I sent you to the moon.

The ponies, they may love me so,
But they don’t last forever.
I know that they will come and go,
But leave, I thought you’d never.

I failed you, Luna, I truly did.
Regret it, I really do.
And though for it, the shame I hid,
I failed Discord, too.

My best friend just wanted a laugh,
So my sun he took away.
He did it not on evil’s behalf,
He simply wanted to play.

But blinded by my pointless rage,
I did not see a friend.
Instead a battle I did wage,
His rule I had to end.

I killed him, turned him into stone.
I doubt he could survive.
But you, my very flesh and bone,
I could not petrify.

Instead I sent you out to space,
The moon you love so dear.
I cannot get you off that place.
I don’t know how, I fear.

Both my friends I did destroy,
To save our fair country.
The Elements, I did deploy,
To protect Harmony.

I cannot bear these Elements,
These horrid chunks of rock!
I care not what they represent,
My very heart, they mock!

They helped me kill my greatest friend,
Banish my sister too.
Their curse, it seems to have no end.
I know what I must do.

I must destroy these wretched things,
Regardless of the cost.
Only pain, these gemstones bring.
Only pain and loss.

I shall eradicate these rocks,
Smash them into bits!
Cure the world of this evil pox!
…..But I can’t do this.

It’s not the fault of these blasted stones.
I cannot pass the blame.
This is my fault and mine alone.
I must live with the shame.

Never again will I let this happen,
The ponies I won’t fail.
Where there is pain, I will take action.
Happiness will prevail.

I must protect them and their hearts,
Though it’s too late for me.
Mine ‘s already torn apart.
There’s no more harmony.

I now know what father meant
When he spoke of the cost to rule.
He joked, I thought, to the extent,
But I was such a fool.

In order to sit upon the throne,
Decisions must be made.
Truly, I am all alone.
The cost, I have now paid.

Luna, please forgive me
For what I had to do.
Your soul must burn in agony,
Just as mine does too.

I don’t know how to set you free,
But one thing I do know.
I don’t care how long it takes me,
I will bring you home.
