Every night
I sit and cry.
Hoping you
Won't come home high.
I need
To find the strength to go.
My heart
Just won't let me, though.
After all
You've put me through,
I can't
Believe I still love you.

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."

I love how honest and straightforward this is.  It's simple, yet the reader can infer that this is really just a long story short. I feel very connected to this poem. Its simplicity makes it more relatable. Great work.

I love the way the author put her love for her boyfriend in words. The way the mood is presented to the reader is touching. The way the author tells how the boyfriend comes home drunk and high but, but still she loves him is a part why the mood is touching and loving.(l.2) If the author would have given some more examples of what she finds fault in would have made the poem more interesting.
