You weren't there

by Jacqui Armstrong   Jul 29, 2005


I needed someone to hold me tight
to tell me everything was alright.

But you weren't there.

I needed someone to keep me calm
to keep me out of any harm.

But you weren't there.

I needed someone to keep me sane
to help remove all my pain.

But you weren't there.

Now, you need someone to hold you tight,
to tell you everything's alright.

But I'm gone.

    Needless to say, this was a great poem. I liked the repetition of the phrase "But you weren't there" which made it look as though you were complaining to him all the way through, and in the end, you stop being weak and simply disappear to forget him. Nicely done, well developed, and great rhyming couplets. Well done indeed.
