Princess Celestia sighed as she made her way out to stone gardens to pay a visit to an old friend.

Discord sighed in his lonely prison of nothingness. A sudden movement caught his eye.

Celestia put a hoof to the statue.

Discord felt his heart tear as he put a claw to her hoof.

"Why? Why Discord?" She whispered as tears started forming.

He shut his eyes as tears threatened to overwhelm him.

"Why Celestia?" He whispered back.

He let the sadness overtake him as he remembered

A memory of them by a moonlit river, kissing under the twilight glow.

You've applied the pressure, to have me crystalized

Another memory of Celestia's mother finding the two in her bedroom. He remembered the screams as her mother berated her. Celestia screaming back at her.

And you've got the faith that I could bring paradise

The two of them walking through the Everfree forest. Celestia glancing over to him as she leaned in for a kiss. The memory of her soft lips meeting his.

I'll forgive and forget.  Before I'm paralyzed. Do I have to keep up this pace, to keep you satisfied?

The two of them arguing. Discord screaming as he tried to tell her that they could run away together. She screamed that her life was here and that she was destined to rule. He remembered storming out, he could still hear her sobbing as he left her.

"I'm so sorry Celestia." He said in his prison, his claw still extended touching Celestia's hoof through the barrier. "Discord if only I had listened." She whispered to the statue, tears freely flowing down her face.

Aaah [4x]

The two cried silently as the prison kept them separate.

You don't move slow, taking steps in my direction. The sound resounds and echoes.

Celestia coming to see him in the royal dungeon. He remembered he had been captured and locked away because he had practiced the art of chaos in a village called Trottingham.

He remembered her coming closer and closer, her hoof fall was the only sound in the large dingy room. "Celestia, how nice of you to drop by." He spat, venom dripping from his voice.

Does it lessen your affection?

He remembered her opening the steel bar door that separated the two. She ran to him and gave him a hug as she cried into his arms. The two lovers embracing and crying letting out their pent up emotions.

No.

You say I'm foolish, for pushing this aside. But burn down our home, I won't leave alive.

He remembered another time they argued. Celestia begging for him to live in Canterlot and stay with her, he refused adamantly. He saw himself, a younger him screaming at Celestia who in turn was now crying on the floor. "I'VE SEEN THOSE PONIES LOOK AT ME! I'VE SEEN THE WAY THEY LOOK AT US! CELESTIA I'M DOING THIS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!" His younger self said as it stormed out of the castle for good.

Glaciers have melted into the sea, I wish the tide would take me over.

Another memory, this time he remembered sitting on a throne as he watched his chaotic magic warp the town of Stalliongard. He remembered feeling cold, irritated and annoyed. Buffalos in tutus dancing around the town as it flipped upside down then back again. "I miss her" He thought hollowly as he watched his chaotic domain.

I've been down on my knees

A final memory before his imprisonment. It wasn't long after he had occupied Stalliongard, Celestia had come to take care of him. As he keeled over on his knees unable to get up due to the sheer stress toll taken his body had taken after he had used immense magical power in dueling Celestia. As the elements whizzed faster and faster in a circle, he looked up to see Princess Celestia walking over to where he sat.

And you just keep on getting closer.

She hugged him as the elements froze his body in stone, tears landing on his face as she cried.

Aaah [4x]

He opened his eyes to find that Celestia had fallen asleep against his stone statue, her chest rising and falling steadily as she dreamed. "Goodnight Celestia." He said, he felt warm inside for once. He began feeling sleepy himself as he closed his eyes.
