"Poem" to Kaylee

Kaylee
 
The stars seem dimmer down here.
Their light fades with every step I take.
And as I fall deeper down this pit I have created
As I drift further away from that bright sky we sat beneath all those years ago
A twisted thought suffocates me.
Can I really see them, or is it all just a memory?
An illusion of the sky that I still attempt to grasp on to.
Nothing but memories. Memories of light.
Of hope
Of love.
 
But you taught me that the stars never die.
No matter how far I stray from them they shall still be there
Burning with the same passion they had when you first showed them to me.
My steps in the sand have no power over the sky above us.
And as such they shall always be there, waiting for my return into the light.
So now, as I delve deeper
Your voice kills those twisted thoughts
And again I can breathe.
 
Even if it is just a memory,
Those stars are still real for me and you.
And wherever I lay my head I can still look up to them,
Even if they are nothing but illusion,
I can still be comforted by the memories of our light,
Of our hope
Of our love.
