You were...then not...

by Alexander   Nov 30, 2008


You were my rock
To you I could always talk
And with you I wished to always walk
Down this endless road called life

You were my hero
To you I could always admire
And with you I wished to learn
About this place called Earth

You were my role model
To you I could always run too
And with you I wished to destroy
All these depressing memories

You were not there that day
Without you I could never accept
And without you I could never expect
To do anymore than fake a smile

Another poem dedicated to my old soccer coach Bob Goad. I've been doing a lot of poems about him lately because the one year mark is almost here...

    ^^ Sweetie , since the rest of your poem doesn't rhyme , you should really change up the structure of these sentences . It's just really oddly put into words .

    You were my hero
    To you I could always admire
    ^^ This don't make sense , try something like "When it came to you , I could always admire . "

    This is really sad . I think you did a really good job , but there is some improving to do . 5/5

    Perfect word choice. The feelings came from the words to my mind and they keep spinning in there. Very memorable. Great job. 5/5
