Tanka: Twilight Sparkle

My name is Twilight

My special skill is magic

I have many friends

However I feel troubled

At the thought of losing them

They are my best friends

I never want to lose them

It would bother me

To see one of them…vanish

To never see them again

I know I worry

Over every single thing

Even when I fail

But what happens when I botched

And it costs somepony’s life

It would torment me

Eat me from the inside, out

I would shun myself

From everypony I know

For causing them all this pain

That is why I try

I try and improver my skills

So I can be set

In case the setting arrives

And I can be there for them

I know that I fret

About every little thing

But…for a reason

I care about everyone

And would suffer to save them.

Free Verse: Celestia's laments

Every week, I get a letter from Twilight sparkle

My most faithful student.

I would always read what her and her friends have learned

What they learned about the magic of friendship.

It would fill me with joy to see her happy with them.

However…that joy will come to a close

On the day I see her die.

I had many students before Twilight

And they all met with the same fate…

They all died and I just continued living.

I outlive everypony I know

And it would pain me to see them go.

I have grown close to all of them

But not as close as I have with Twilight.

I think Twilight as if she was a daughter to me.

She has filled me with so much joy

When I was teaching her magic.

I was happy to see her when her and her friends freed my sister from Nightmare Moon

To defeat the chaotic nature of Discord,

To help defeat the evil changeling named Chrysalis

And now they helped save the crystal Kingdom

By defeating the evil Sombra.

Now that I look back at this…

I would wish that Twilight could live forever

But alas…it can never be.

That is the fate of the Alicorn.

They always outlive the people they get close to.

They always have to see them grow old…

…and die
