Tears of Regret
By Princess Celestia
Sunset, now that you are gone,
I don’t know what words to say,
I didn't really know you long,
So why am I sad you've gone away?
Our bonds were lightly tied,
But my heart ripped just the same,
When I learned you packed up all your books,
And left Canterlot that day.
I wish you would have reminisced,
On the small time that we shared,
Before you left this mystic realm,
Thinking no one cared.
I wish I could have said some words,
That saved you from your fate,
But as I cry in solitude,
I realize it’s too late.
But though I barely knew you,
Rest easy knowing you’re a part,
Of the precious box of memories,
I keep closest to my heart.
You know, i rarely ever see things like these. Usually, when people write about Sunset and Celestia, they'll just explore Sunset's feelings while not even touching upon Celestia. However, this poem felt very unique in the way it presented itself. Maybe, Sunset's departure reminded Celestia about Luna's wrath and that the history has repeated itself. Or maybe she felt immense sadness since she let down somepony who really looked up to her? Either way it is very powerful and very sad. Another wonderful masterpiece.
