Why Are You Falling Without Me?

by Stephanie   Sep 28, 2008


It's so easy to say that I don't miss you,
But of course my heart won't say the same.
Cause you used to be the hero in the storm,
And now I struggle with just saying your name.

I remember all the stupid jokes and inside laughs,
In the end, they really make no sense at all-
Yet, it was something that only we understood.
"I never realized that you'd be the one to fall."

I haven't heard your voice in a little while,
And the air feels a little colder with you not here.
Life just gets a little harder, a little lonelier -
When there's no one here to calm these fears.

I'll never doubt that you'll always care for me,
Cause I grew up for years as your best friend.
But daddy, you're ripping your whole life apart,
And I know that I can't save you in the end.

    This poem is touching. You're trying to stop the person who stands as the manly figure in your life - your father.
    About the technical details: The structure is solid and constant, The rhyming schemes don't seem forced, which is good, and the flow is strong.

    Nice poem 5/5

    I liked the flow of this poem.
    the theme was nice and unpredictable toward the ending.

    good job.
