Where are you?
January 20, 2011
I was there
When you cried
When you screamed
When you bled.
I listened
To your rants
To your fits
To your lies.
I cried with you
I sat with you
You promised to do the same for me when I needed
Your strength
Your courage
Your understanding
So where are you?

Poetry isn't quite my specialty, but I'll do my best to critique.
I like the pattern here. However, I think the 'I cried with you / I sat with you' part a bit repetitive from the beginning. Perhaps you could take that part out? And the 'you promised to do the same for me when I need' is slightly too long to compensate with the rest of the poem. Maybe 'You promised to do the same / When I needed / Your strength...' and so on. These are just my thoughts. Overall, this poem is really down-to-earth and reflecting the true meaning of friendship. Keep composing those poems! Great job(:
