Can I be your moon?

The moon is an arrant thief, and her pale fire she snatches from the sun.

How long have you stood by my side?
Through times of turmoil, victory and near defeat.
Loyalty is not an emotion. A choice, conscious.

Do you think I am blind?

Stupid?

Or am I merely reading too far into things?

A habit of mine, survival. To read too far into things is to survive. to thrive

I feel so trapped

I have too much blood on my hooves to name names. picking faces from crowds.

I would be content if the world were to melt away...


I like to think the moon is there even when I am not looking at it



You confuse me so. Confusion. That's not really an emotion is it. even vermin feel 'confused'

But...

when I see you with others...








How easy it would be to tear them all away from you in my nonexistent anger.

But how could I ever do that?

...

I couldn't.

I could try.

I have.

I did.

I wanted to.

Want to.

Because

I'm

jealous.

They have so many.

Want so much.


The moon of a bright silver, which dazzles by its shining, illumines a world which surely is no longer ours.

And I have so little.

want so little.

A world that I can feel joy in.

but...

What joy can there be in the world...

if I can't share it with you?

If I lose you.

What would I have left?

dreams of a world bent to my will. Worthless, what kind of world would it be with nobody to stand by my side?

...

Sometimes, I get the feeling you don't really want to be there though.

I wouldn't blame you.

after all I put you through.

she's a distraction

do this, Saix

do that, Saix

fight for me Saix

...

but have I not said kind things...
tried to.

hidden in my words...

"if it meant I had to die. For you to live. You would sooner see me dead"

"are you hurt?"

What I've been trying to say.


I have seen the movement of the sinews of the sky, And the blood coursing in the veins of the moon.


I'm no good with words.

With my limited memory of feeling...

I Trust you...

I want to Trust you...

these occasional little glimmering memories of mine. Emotions long passed.

Somewhere along the line I began needing you.

I don't want to lose you!

if I lose you, I'll...

I'll lose a part of myself...

But.

If you would rather them...

over me...

I'll accept that.

How strange.

I guess somewhere along the line, with my need. My jealousy.

What would one of the silly inhabitants of this forest say...

ah.

Yes.

I guess somewhere along the line.

I fell in love.

...

If I could love I mean.


Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.

Hubuhbuhbuhbuhubuh... Cap'n

Hubuhbuhbuhbuhubuh... Cap'n you really outdid yourself with this. This probably elicted the most of an emotional response out of me yet. I audibly gasped as I read. Honestly, this just shows that your writing is getting so much more... More than it already had, and I didn't think that possible.

Honestly, I officially envy your abilities to hook the reader in.
