MY LITTLE POEM
- Ponies with Nightwish

[Click here for the accompanying song]


Dead Memories




"You've got to get into the spirit…
For this is your home."
"Not anymore…"



Memories of friends, memories of home
Blissful life with all my loved ones
Those heartfelt moments, good times we once shared
Turned out but dead travesty

Where were my dear friends
Where was all harmony
Everything I saw only betrayed my trust
They spit on my friendship, kicked dust on our bond
Only wish to leave it now behind…

Painful is weight of abandonment
Too much to handle ever again
Nevermore be hurt by so-called friends
Nevermore let them break broken heart

Library lights, silhouette of old home
Now twisted emblem within a new nightmare land
Prepare for leaving, seek for a haven…
Glimpse of letters waiting for you

Letters from the times now gone
Stories of friendship, lessons of life
From the adventures we once had
Letters tell their tales, hear what they say…

"Real friends don't care
what you are on the outside.
It is a wondrous thing, a power of friendship,
forged in a heartfelt bond.
Like the path cut through the orchard,
there will always be a way through.
Whenever alone, remember this, for ease and solace:
Everypony has a special link with her friends.
Maybe even before she's met them."

"The best thing to do is stay true to yourself.
Be honest, be loyal.
Accept flaws and mistakes from those you care of.
Whom you love.
Be kind, help those in need.
Nothing stays forever, but it doesn't fade the truth
that being loved even once is worth everything it takes."



Remembrance…
I see it now…
What almost lost…
Bring it back.

"Nothing can take away the ties we bind together.
Fight for it."


Epiphany.
Determination.
Restoration.
Reformation.
LISTEN THIS SONG WITH THE POEM FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go-nJY…;
in case the link is broken: the song is "Dead Boy's Poem" by Nightwish.

It's been a week since I submitted the ending of My Little Sequel, so it's time for some extra stuff.

Once I had finished the Part VI, "Letters Tell a Tale" fav.me/d4tqs8o, I wasn't completely happy with it. It felt forced and a bit off at some points. Then, when I was listening to Nightwish' "Dead Boy's Poem", I got inspired to write the actual letter from the episode to match the titular dead boy segment. The result is this piece.

However, I was rather anxious to choose which one to include in the series. I did like both of them, but Memories was in some ways st$ronger than Letters. However, its narrative approach on the subject felt out of place with the series: it was more personal, more individual character piece rather than part of the bigger story.

Thus Letters was used in a series and Memories was used as a alternative, independent version. And no, it had nothing to do with the certain vocalists.

edit OMG only 15 hours on MLP-Literature and it's already my second most favorited work? (totally not anymore, but back then...) Thank you so much!
