Why did you have to go?
June 25, 2011
why did you have to go?
the tears fall from my face.
why did you have to go?
no one can take your place.
why did you have to go?
and leave us behind.
i hoped you'd stay and forever be mine.
i will love you til the ends of the earth.
so save me a seat on gods turf.

This peom is good but it needs work. First, you need to capitalize the first letter each sentance. And in the second to last line I think it should be "I will love you 'til the ends of time." 'til needs an apostriphie and I think time helps the flow a little bit, but that part's just my personal opinion. I really liked the repition of the "Why did you have to go?" and you really put a lot of feeling into your peoms. I like that. Keep going.

Well... to tell you the truth... I only read this because you had commented on my photo and I thought I'd return the favor... But I totally loved it!
My friend died last year and I've written a lot of poems about it... You put so much thought and feeling into this poem that it felt like it could have been mine, it was so real.
nice job!
