My Star Still Remains

I remember you, my star
I stood by the window
Staring into the inky sky
Such a dreary horizon
But there was you
Twinkling back at me
A sign of hope.

I remember how I felt
When my whole world fell apart
Crumbling like my heart
I thought that you were gone
For my eyes no longer sheltered you
And even if you stayed
I was ashamed for you
To see me cry.

And I remember when I found love
An infinite clarity
To my clouded vision
Though life has taken
It has also given
I learned of beauty
I learned of pain
I thought that nothing gold can stay
But deep there in the weathered sky
My lone star still remains.
