Falling star

The star was his beacon
He held her in his sight
And when the sea was stormy
She guided him in the night

She stayed for the security
She knew she was giving
But standing in one place
Can hardly be called living

Her strength began to flicker
From standing still so long
She looked to him for guidance
And kept trying to be strong

She cried for him to help
And save her light from dying
But he turned his back
And sadly she stopped prying

Her legs began to cramp
And she fell to her knees
Her shoulders buckled under
And she cried -help me, please!

She never gave up loving him
Not even in the end
The final thought that crossed her mind?
Im glad I was his friend

And in her dying moment
She decided on a gift
A last glimpse of comfort
To repair the friendship rift

She summoned up her courage
And let go of the sky
and in that graceful moment
She said her final goodbye
