He Was By My Side - (Sweetie Belle Poem)
He Was By My Side
By: SilentBelle
Tonight I look out at the stars to calm my nerves,
They call out to me in the language of songs unsung, like the cutie mark that I should have had.
Tonight I open wide the window curtains and search the clouds for my memories.
I see a fleeting wisp of a familiar face, shining with a moon full of regret. I can't sleep.
I'm watching all these moments that tie me up inside,
Watching all the wrong ones, and the passing scenery.
I'm singing all these songs that I have never heard,
I'm humming all my sorrows, voiceless without the words.
Tonight, I look out at the stars,
Tonight, I decide to look at what it's all meant so far,
Tonight, I slide my curtain wide
And remember my innocence, when he was by my side.
Your laugh fills the nighttime, as I pretend to sleep,
You flash in emerald magic and say, “I'm forcing you to choose.”
That time was important, a time I won't forget,
When you called me your friend, the first one that you'd met.
So I pulled you close before me, and tied you to my side,
You say you're only Discord, but I saw through all of those lies.
Tonight, I look out at the stars,
Tonight, I decide to look at what it's all meant so far,
Tonight, I slide my curtain wide
And remember my innocence, when he was by my side.
Under simple thatched roofs of Ponyville, so calm and slow,
I work on this gift you gave me, it won't just be for show.
Moving on.
I search this world for hidden magics.
Sort the spells that I learn, from the ones that I yearn, to find a way to bring you back to me.
Moving on.
I've searched through dusty spell books,
Read through histories looking for the answers to your friendship.
I'm going to meet you again,
I'm going to pass years by mastering all of magic myself.
But eventually, my town became too small for such an ambition,
Eventually, I'd tried everything I could.
Eventually the spells I learned went beyond the capabilities of my horn,
And I couldn't do anything other than give up.
And I've become desperate
I'm trying my best to find a way to save you,
But all I ever meet is the feeling of burning agony.
Laugh all you want, Scoddri!
I'm still searching for a way to bring you back to whole!
Looking for the spell to bring you back to whole,
Like you were.
I'm looking for that sigil, I'm searching for that pattern.
If you don't believe I'm looking, then here's how you'll know.
I've been burning bright my magic, I've been exhausted to my core,
I've used up thousands of crystal shards and have no more left in store.
But I'm still casting new magic,
And I know I seem a foal,
But I'm looking for the spell that can bring you back to whole.
Tonight, I look out at the stars,
Tonight I look out at the stars to calm my nerves,
Tonight, I decide to look at what it's all meant so far,
They call out to me in the language of songs unsung, like the cutie mark that I should have had.
My cutie mark speaks to me, giving voice to your songs in waves of laughter caught in the night's breeze.
Tonight, I slide my curtain wide.
Tonight I open wide the window curtains and search the clouds for my memories,
And remember my innocence, when he was by my side.
