Sun and Moon

She  is the sun; he is the moon
And though they each dance to a different tune
They bring us light through day and night
But never so soon did I think it would happen to my sun or moon
They fade each day and night 
I watch them fade and I stayed, through it all
I watched them rise and fall
But my sun rose too high and is now in the sky
I watch and cry, looking to the sky for my sun who has left me to die
I am a star and I watch from afar
This world that wants to take away my light
I still have the night
Where my moon and I stay
Even when it's day, but you don't see us
I try to spread my light, but you try to kill it 
You get a thrill in it 
Tearing down my moon and trying to make me fade
I have stayed, through it all though and I will not let you watch me fall
You have taken my sun, but I am done letting you tear me down
I still have my moon and though we each prefer a different tune
We bring light in the darkness of this dreadful night 


The author's comments:

Usually when I lose someone close to me, all my feelings stay inside, but I tried to put them in writing, and I got this piece. It's not great, but I kind of wanted to share it in the memory of that someone I lost. So, this is dedicated to an amazing women who was more like family than even some of my actual family. She brought a lot of light into this world, when everything seemed a little dark, so I hope this poem can make your day a little brighter. (p.s wow, that was super cheesy.)
