He cries

Because he knows that she's gone

And that she will never come back

They say an evil spirit took her away

But he knows

As he walks to her stone

Bringing white roses

With words written

He ponders them

She really was a loving person

She really was a great wife

She really was an amazing mother
T

he key word

Was

Written just like every other word in stone

But boldened and stuck in his mind

When he walks to her stone

He gives it space

He wouldn't want to step on her

Although she is just dirt

She will always be there

He sits there and cries

Wishing and begging that she would come back

Bring the color back into his life

Because all is dark now

She would bring the rainbow with her when she walked into the room

Her eyes resembled home

Her hair reflecting hope

Her heart

Her heart was forged of spring by the gods

Full of kindness

He sits there and cries

Tears streaming down his face

Watering the grass he sits on

His tears soak down to her bones

Just laying there six feet under

He looks to the sky

And he remembers something she used to say

Every night before he shut his eyes

And woke in the morn

She said

That the stars are deceased souls of the good

Bringing light in the darkness

And when he looked up

Eyes filled with tears

It seemed as though

There was a star brighter than the others

She was bringing light into his darkness
