I can see why this person is such a
blessing to have in your life. What
great inspiration
awesome poem

Great story, this shows a poem doesn't have to rhyme. It is powerful and thought provoking.
Did you ponder over dreamed rather than dreamt?
Dreamed sounds much better, and works well in the opening line.
but you held on to my heart
at it's most hollow time, (its..) (it isn't it is or it has)
when I was ready to starve
rather than
keep air in my lungs.
I always read poems twice, is she still dreaming?
There is an apparent air of guilt, which is extinguished once met again. Then it goes back to loss and realisation that your memory will keep you strong.
Like the fact that you compare the illumination of the moon to illumination of his love.
Love the line "night racing through my veins" is that darkness trying to make its way to your heart?
.............I have just read it again and noticed that indeed you did wake up, in stanza 14
(I will get with it in a minute!!)
Is this your grandfather?
Assuming this is a loss, this contains some very poignant thoughts. I like the way the flow isn't forced in any way.
Good job, and I think I finally got the message in this.
