A STAR ON THE HORIZON

When I was little, my mom would say 
The people we love become stars 
They go to the kingdom of benevolent gods 
And smile upon us from afar. 

Little did I know that the day would dawn 
My own breath would become distant too 
I can see you on horizons floating away 
Out of reach, on your journeys new. 

I remember the days when in my heart 
You shared my space, without a care 
I will wonder forever what tore you apart 
A stranger, whose eyes never stray here. 

I know my soul didn't hear you wrong 
You sang the same songs as me 
Your octave was another pitch but still 
We made a near perfect symphony
