It seems this poem shares in such a general way no one could accuse you of forcing your esteem of this well respected hero. Therefore I believe this one has a mass appeal

The comparison between the his and her heart was what really brought in the emotions with
"Her heart didn't skip a beat,
but his stopped for days -"

A trailing off into silence with "-" perfectly done,

"We never stopped to tell him bye,
nor joined him in the chorus -"

and thanks for the link. It was pretty helpful, got to admit that I was careless about my recent poems but I'll make sure I check over next time. Thx
