A corrupted perspective

'It's not fair it's not fair it's not FAIR!!!'

Discord cursed to himself time and time again, how could he have been easily defeated by gushy romance?!

'I was a being above the comprehension of those miserable equines! Every obstacle that rivaled my power had been removed! How could their love be strong enough to create a new element that could re-trap me?!'

It didn't make any sense to Discord, and coming from him, that said something....

He thought to himself on what he could have done differently that would have resulted in things ending much better for him.

'Should I have just put Shining Armor into a coma?.... No, that isn't nearly as fun as posing as his bride..... Should I have just been nice to Twilight and not banish her to the caves? She was already feeling remorseful and was on the verge of tears.....'

Discord speculated time and time again what could he have done to prevent his stony fate....

'If I had at least tried to act like Cadance and welcomed Twilight with open hooves, would Cadance ever have escaped without her help?.....' The wedding never would have been interrupted, and maybe then he would have......

'No! That's ridiculous even for you! Get a grip Discord!'

His goal was never to marry Shining Armor for himself, it just happened to be a side effect of achieving his true goal.

He could never love Shining Armor........ Because he could never love him back.....

It just wouldn't be genuine.......

Discord ultimately gave a non existent sigh, as he stared into the garden in contemplation.....

However, one thing was for certain for the chaos demigod.

'And I thought being beaten by the power of friendship was embarrassing.'

The end.
