You were
like
the stars
that surrounded
the earth
in a thousand
silent songs.
Small to man
quiet
mysterious
but no one
ever seemed
to realize that you
were worth
all of the stars
and
the
moon
and sun
itself.
you did not understand
it either.
and
so
you
tumbled
downwards
like a
shooting
star
falling
to the
dark and
cold earth
you
filled the
darkness.
with an atmosphere
of white
pure
empathetic light
but when you left
there was a gaping
void
which seemed
to pull everyone into it
and you never understood
the
very
magnitude
of
your
worth.
My love,
you were
the galaxy
that surrounded
me
you voiced
the thoughts
in my head
when I could only stutter
though you could barely
understand
your
own.
