Crystal Heart: A Poem

Load Full Story

One morning, I found a pink alicorn in my bedroom.

One morning, I hid her in my closet.

One morning, I fed her with a bottle.

One morning, she became my child.

One night, a white alicorn stood in the door.

One night, a white alicorn took my child away.

One night, a white alicorn made me sob.

One night, I let my daughter go.

One day, I found a way into Equestria.

One day, I was formed into a gray unicorn, with a curved, red horn.

One day, I took over an Empire with my rage and fury.

One day, my child banished me to an ever-frozen existence.

I never got to see her marry.

I never got to see her rule her kingdom with pride.

But if there’s one thing I hope she’ll always know,

Cadence, I love you to pieces,

No matter how cold I’m inside.
