Ever since the day I've lost them, I vowed to keep this to myself forever. This secret shall be mine to guard, and mine alone.

But one little event messed everything up, and now the only creatures I can call my family knows everything about my past.

What they didn't know is that I didn't lie to them, but neither was I being completely honest.

This is just an experiment on one of my newly found OTPs and after I saw the incredibly heart-crushing past of this little griffon from the newest episode ;w;

A/N: Holy Celestia this reached 1k views?! Thank you all so much I love you <3

Everypony in Equestria knows of my descent to Nightmare Moon. Everypony knew of the one thousand years where my dear sister had to rule alone.

While everypony had gotten over it, I knew that Celestia hadn't. I can see what the past is doing to her - chipping away her soul bit by bit until there was nothing left.

What she doesn't know is that it hurt me as much as it hurt her. I love her dearly, often far too much for my aching heart to bear, and I'm suffering as I see her pain.

I feel so helpless, like I could do nothing but just watch her fade day by day, night by night, until the moment where I watch her disappear...

Only rated T due to the incest shipping, otherwise this is mostly a very E-rated fic.
Title and story inspired by this song.

It's one thing to know that you're dying. It's another that you know that no one cares about you.

It's one thing to know you're sick and weak. It's another to know that you have no one to fall back on.

It's one thing to know you've met a goddess. It's another to be completely in love with her.

It's one thing to know you've fallen long ago. It's another to know that you've fallen so far.

My first ever multi-chapter fic to be published, and also an admittedly lame way of introducing my OC.

No one is ever perfect, but you already are in my eyes.

That's called being perfect in your imperfection.

This is a gift for my special somepony/best friend IRL. If you're reading this, go to my author's notes, at the end of the story. After you've done reading, of course.
To everyone else, our backstory is complicated, so ignore everything in my A/N that isn't directed at all of you. Or just ignore all dark blue text. Yeah, that's more simple.

Proofread by Koekelbag. Thanks a lot, mate.

I'm not afraid of you. You are just another one of those who kill bodies. At least, that's what you became.

But still, you can't kill a soul. Especially the one that came alive in you.

Contains a lot of heartbreak and dark themes including acts of violence told in flashback form.

Amazing reading done by Sparrow9642!

I'm a princess, an alicorn, an immortal.

There's nothing I couldn't do. No promise I couldn't keep. Nothing that would make me give up.

Nothing but possibly this.

But I won't give up. I have never failed to hold on.

... but why do I feel like I'm losing control?

Warning: There are rather heavy themes and character death in the story, as well as major sadness.
Inspired lightly by this song.

WARNING: Major character death. If you are not fine with that, please turn away, now.

I will do anything to fix my mistakes.

No pony will miss me when I'm gone.

But even if I leave, I will not let the Princess Of Friendship follow me.

She deserves so much better.

The last scene was inspired by this song. Other song lyrics are purely made up, anything similar to a real song is purely by coincidence.

WARNING: Major character death. If you are not fine with that, please turn away, now.

Some mistakes, once made, cannot be erased, no matter how much you want it to.

Such a mistake has already been committed.

And some decisions, once made, can never be reversed.

Such as letting yourself fall after your flames are completely extinguished.

Such a decision is being made right now.
