Tried and Tears

She was like a star to me,

this woman-she was like

the anchor of my reality.

If dusk knew dawn,

she would still be here.

As I seek with the sun

while the moon hides from me,

I yearn for lost life.

It's not in the air

or the bare wind as

I used to feel.

She was her life,

and these tears remain

in just her memory.

Several tries and daze

trying to capture light

from day-she is gone.

These words tried and true,

but my mind tries tears

Until I see her revived.

You masterfully tell a sad tale of a loved one. Such friendship remains a gift. She was well loved. Nice pen.

The rhyming and word choice is beautiful- short, sweet and poignant.
