Just Weep

by Ice Star

And Celestia Wept

Luna and you
both wash up alone
and always
stray from each other
to use the bathroom
as is sensible

Whenever she leaves
you often manage
to find a few
tears leaking
out of
where you lock them up
and you force yourself to
stop

You are not
always sure
who or what you may
be crying for

Only
that every time
you
just weep—

Your body usurps
your head
and
traitorous heart
telling you that
it was
never enough

There really isn’t. I try to correct that.

You formed her into what she is, Celestia. She lost her way because of you.

This is really good. I can almost see Celestia writing them herself to help express grief, with the style choice to not write from the first person perspective despite it being about her.

Thank you so very much! I try to publish as much pony poetry as I can. Seeing the titular poem languish in a crazy-crowded collection always bothered me, but it wasn't until recently that I finally managed to expand the collection.
