Memory lost and feeling alone Past gone and future unknown A stallion finds his way to a place Where friendship thrives and feeds a race But as he continues down his road He starts to see that he carries a load For left behind, he has not, his lethal past He can't seem to make the peace he has last For though he wants to leave it behind He can't let it destroy, the peace he must find So back to the black of space he returns And here, it is, his final lesson he learns The lesson that not all learn or can face The lesson he can see and must embrace To give his life so his friends might live To release all he has left to give All his friends now see and are left to mourn Hoping his soul might no longer be lost; no longer forlorn A final peaceful rest he might have at last Free and away from his Keldarian past To those left behind, his death, their hearts rend Torn to pieces, from end to end He finally made a difference to all, In his short life, before his fall His final wish was at last fulfilled When the threat to his loved ones was revealed and killed And now he continues to live, as a memory carved within The hearts and minds of those he knew, Those where, in his short life, love was planted and grew His memory forever pending He made his own upon his ending The end of his life Saved his friends, new family, any last strife

Trials and Tests of Life/Make Life Your Own (Past Sins)
Trials and Tests of Life/Make Life Your Own Past Sins
When you have no past to call your own When your looks cause doubt to be sown A filly taken into another's home So she may be happy, not forced to roam A happy life without idea of who she was A happy foalhood of warmth and fuzz Three new friends to adventure together Four little fillies like birds of a feather But alas, this could not last For nopony can outrun mistakes of their past Come to light to cause a scene The Nightmare causing the tower to lean Twilight staring, lost in thought Losing Nyx, forgiveness then sought In New Nightmare Moon, she sees her daughter so loved Close to her death, this for this decision she's shoved But nothing in this world, can beat what Twilight's sown And away from her death, Twilight is thrown For her little filly Nyx, finally had enough Coming down on Nexus, Nyx starts getting tough The sun will start to rise again, the ponies think they're freed Only to be crushed again, though Nyx no longer leads A curse discovered, the Nightmare cult is gone Twilight's love of little Nyx, come out, shown and shone No one left for comfort, a house that's not a home Too guilty to even leave the place, to guilty to try and roam Little Nyx has lost it all, friends and family too She lost it all, to her fall, when her magic was forced anew Now she has a castle, but money makes not the mare She only seems happy, when ponies come back to share So share she does, glad to do her part Though when the monsters attack at last, she fights with a heavy heart Guilt for being the cause, the cause of this attack But though she may be guilty, courage she does not lack Stop the monsters, fight for those who must escape this town Even if, in the flood of monsters, she will surely drown But against all odds she finally beats them back And must hope to all above, they don't come back to sack What's left of the ponies homes, little though they have At least not one was lost, down to the smallest calves Now Nyx must face her judgement, for upon release Princesses will be livid, demanding the Nightmare cease A beautiful finale, with Nyx's final fate She got to stay with Twilight, not victim to others' hate A well deserved fillyhood, for the lovely little foal Though rocky it may be, love will fill the hole No memory left of Nightmare Moon to taunt her little Nyx Though her guilt as the Nightmare Queen has no easy fix And down the road in hope they start, towards a better life One that will not be, without a little strife But hope they do, each day improved, upon the one before On with each step, continue to move, finding each new door Without a doubt life is a test, to try our very core All we can do is our best, continuing to soar

The Order (The Order. Yes, the poem and story share the same name. Deal with it.)
Graves' Journey Inspired by GentlemanJ's A Journey of Graves. The Series as a whole. Roaming free across the land Dealt by fate, an unfortunate hand He tried to run, to escape his pain He ran through sun and snow and rain Buried beneath as he continues his work Though in his air, does his past still lurk Then along came a jewel, to try and break in Break his mask and see him grin A Rare break from his work defending To stay in one place, the town, on him, depending To stay in one place, and see the magic of friends But one must remember, actions run in trends As if to prove to all, too prove that this was true Graves up and left, went to someplace new But one must remember, when dealing with her You don't leave behind, a love that felt so sure She chased him down, to the country of the Changer Rarity forced him to see, his heart was in no danger He still did not believe, and broke his beauty's heart With words nearly as lethal, as love's unholy dart But when he finally listened, to his heart's one true desire It was almost to late, to restart love's great pyre But tried he did, and managed to make it light And in the end of it all, it all turned alright So now they live a life of love, Graves and Rarity Though Graves still has small problems, with insanity They work it out, sometimes shout, but still they carry on For without strife, how in life, can someone say they shone.

Leaving the Past or Fear and Hope (The Walls Came Tumbling Down)
Pre-Poem A/N: Before you read this, you should probably actually read the story it comes from. This avoids questioning my mental state while it is being read. It can still be enjoyed on its own, like the rest, but reading the story shows where it comes from.
In the Everfree, remaining unseen A little colt tries to avoid the world's mean But when a life's in danger, the colt must intervene To protect a life, he lets himself be seen
When she sees the little colt, Shy cannot let go Everyone deserves a family, she tries to let him know But only hate he's seen in life, so his answer at first is no He cannot see any joy, his heart has been laid low
A heart of stone that Shy must crack When he agrees to stay Getting the colts life on track To try and help him on his way
But as all life's challenges They are not left alone And Applejack's blind hatred Brings back Dawn's dark tone
Cult Solar and hatred follow Where ever the poor colt roams The pain of hatred's shadow Prevents him finding a true home
But as with all trials beat They get back to their hooves Apologies and honesty meet And force her guilty move
Apoligies from the Apple Force the colt to break His heart of stone starts to crack And progress Dawn does make
Slowly he does feel, though the journey will be long He will do right, he'll make mistakes, and try to right his wrongs But long as his loving family's there, his heart may still find song.
Losing his mind from the buildup endured Madness suppressed, completely uncured He loses his from the demons at last Demons that came from an unearthed past Lost to the madness, he will soon be Lost to the madness, set your mind free The nice guy killed, slowly from the inside Caged in the back, forced along for the ride As Madness lights up, and Mender's bridges he burns He laughingly says "Yes! Oh, yes! They'll all learn!" Watch the Monster take control [1] Eating his sanity, destroying his soul [2] While the Mender we know is forced to watch from within While Madness takes hold, with a skull for a grin But should he go insane, would he know Would others see, would it show If he went insane in a way just so would anyone see, would anyone know?
Bottled up rage, ignites in a flash Taking it out, Twilight does lash But in her remorse, tries to fix what she broke A timeline change, she tries to evoke
Back to the past, twenty years before The first time Defender was met at her door It takes near death for the Princess to see How much Defender does set her heart free
But is it too late, when they can't get home? Is it too late, if the past they do roam? Taking new names, new colours, new marks They move through the ocean to take out the sharks
Demons from past, the hardest to end To their past pony selves, help they do lend But as they bite off, more than they chew Past ponies do see, illusions pierced through
Once found at last, they must fix what is broke Past and future selves meet, as equals they spoke
A lesson learned in this trip to the past, A lesson learned as the end nears at last But nothing goes perfect with time or space For in the future, Twi's foal has no trace
So she cannot go back to her own time again She cannot go back, until a time when Years go by and hope is all lost, Nothing they do, will pay the cost Until Magic doth finally intervene, Uniting lost loves and thier foal of between
Two timelines met, new friends they made Lessons learned in full, high prices paid Don't lose sight of your friends, for where ever they are If they're in your heart, they'll never stray far
It's always darkest before the dawn, the most dangerous of us, nothing more than the pawn. So the world turns on, with the sunrise and set, all of those we've only just met, I stare at the beauty of the world as it turns, and watch the as the plains of Zebrica burn.

Losing Her Grip [Hard Reset 2(Chapter:Among Monsters(1))]
Losing her equinity to the repeat of days Like going through the motions and redoing the plays As she goes on she falls farther away From her sanity, a price she does pay For setting things right will not come with ease Paying dividends of sanity, as her reset fees Becoming the monster she seeks to destroy The little things like death only seem to annoy And with no end in sight, perspective she lacks Her facade she now wears, slowly starts showing cracks Among the monsters she now rests her head And as a monster, she now lays in her bed As this downward spiral slowly goes on Is there any way for her to see the beauty, and light, of the dawn? Losing herself before she knows Her coldness latches on and slowly grows Until the day the loops finally end At which point she'll look back and her heart will rend At the terrible sight of what she's become For her whole spirit, now black, has gone fully numb She will be forced to confront an irreversible sight She has finally become, darker than night
To lose it all to a trusted friend To watch your home come to an end Sanity slipping, but feeling no pain Hope killed, buried and slain But still she walks this lonely earth The place she loved, the place of birth The lives she kept, the lives of love Lives dead from a little shove Of the sun, the source of life Now the cause of death and strife As hell's gates opened and released The monsters on life and love to feast But still she walks, holding false hope Holding the facade to avoid the rope As she wanders alone forever more Waiting to be able to enter, death's welcoming door.
Becoming the monster and seeing you fate Seeing you become the thing that you hate But being unable to change, forcing yourself on Creeping farther into the dark, before seeing yourself at dawn And when you see what you've become A mournful tune, all will hum But as you fall farther into the black Once the future is saved, can you turn back Back from the dark and insanity you embrace Will you look back, look it in the face Or hide away in the shadows not to see the light Hide away in shadows, giving up the fight A loss of all you know, inside yourself and out And all you can do now, is sadly fall and shout Your despair unheard by any above Untainted as you insured they could live on in love But only if you become the monster you hate Only in embracing your darkening fate.
Round and round, watch time go Where it stops, she never know Death becomes nothing, a kill just resets Forever around, never a break she gets Same hours even, once more Tartarus begins again She always know where, she always knows when The world burns around her and it all becomes routine There is no more moment, of ‘so I must scream’ She learns to endure, to carry the burden through To enter this hell again , and begin the cycle anew The end is not what the end once was A new beginning to life, to the pain because Nothing is easy, not even the end, The end of it all, for which she seeks to mend No longer going on, she hopes for harmony to fix But too many tries it seems, to long for the plan to tick A perfect run is what she needs A perfect score for her hope to feed And when that run comes at so long last… She finds herself once more in the past To loop again when they didn’t work To loop again, her sanity shirked To become Queen and Master of her realm To destroy Equestria at her blood soaked helm The end turned out to begin anew A life she can no longer force herself through But she cannot end it, no, never again There is no time, no more when Only hell, where her home has become Lost forever… old… regretful… numb
The End of it all is here The coming of darkness Creation of fear
Yet they all hold out to the final and last Future no longer, remember the past
When the skies rain fire and the oceans become steam When Terra is done and tears are a stream They hold those they love, they hold them tight For every minute and second, is a final figh
Cause when they lose it all comes to an end Their power over all, creating a world rend But with each to the last, the alicorns stay That they meet those they love, the Princesses pray
As leaving this life, the memory does not end Deeds and hope, into the future, Their existence does send
It matters not that there's nopony left That of life, the world is bereft, For they tried their best, they fought to mend And go on into peace, but met their end
An end they met with heads held high In a final rest, do the alicorns lie
As Darkness falls in the world around The eversleep beacons, its siren sound The end of life, the canines fade Fight to the last, resistance made But in the end, it was out of their paws For all their strength, there was but one flaw Another one was acting their god Killed by trust in a deadly fraud Weep at the loss, loss of such life Lost in the dark, back hosting knife We will never forget, though we may never know We will always remember, as within their home we now grow
As they return from over the sea, There is only one I wish to see He who promised to return to me Only once I see him again will I be free
From worry and doubt that plagues my mind Did he go on and leave me behind? A truth to this visit I must find Of the one I love, and hope loves in kind
What happened to my silent knight? He who shines with radiance bright He who promised to come back alright What has happened to my Silent Knight?
Grip of the Heart / Heal Me (Secrets of a Royal Guard)
Grip of the heart and the vice of the mind Of the darkness and lonely, our soul is lined To help the weak is our purpose held true But in need of help, I am too Hardened of heart, though I might be It still harms my soul, in ways you can't see But admitting this would prove me weak So this help, I will never seek Admit to the need, I will never do So seeing my hurt, falls to you I suffer in silence, in ways no one sees Until it's too late, and I fall to my knees So come to my mind, and come into my heart See my wounds, so my healing might start Make me see, the lines I'm blind too Make me see, the lines stark and true Or descend into darkness, I will forevermore, Until I can't go lower, and stand at death's door The death of the soul, an empty shell in full Please don't let it happen, take my hoof and pull...
The wishes of a filly, starting from small, Watching her grow, answer life's call Through romance and roses, she saw the world Around her always, inspiration swirled Though pain of the heart must sometimes had She found the good; those reasons to be glad Love and friendship, found through the years Those to hold close; to speak of your fears And one to hold closer, your silent knight He of frozen heart, and armour bright The frozen heart, to thaw so slow The stony facade to warm and grow Though separate, your paths had their start Now merged together, a single work of art
A story told; a chapter to close But the journey goes on, the path still grows It marches on, with twists and bends Never knowing what's next, What the future will send But for one thing, and one alone You will stand together forever Love set in stone
No more secrets, no more lies Only the truth, left out to dry The Guard leaves home, heading for war To return to his love, he all but swore But that return might not be all in one piece The Silent we know, will upon that day will cease Growth and change is the way of life Trials in fire, facing down strife, but no matter what happens, time marches on bringing each day, a brand new dawn but each day is not always dawned new Sometimes your demons follow you Trials of life, and trials of war Facing all these, and so much more Never again will he be the same Never again will he shed the shame Trials we live though, and so much is lost Every action we take, has a cost The costs can be large, the costs can be small But tell me, Knight, do you truly know them all?
