Owe You the World

When I touch down
You owe me nothing
Ima give you the world and I ain’t bluffin
I had no business leaving you all alone
But ima make it up to you when I come home
Just know me and you we are the future.

    Short and powerful. Poems like this pack an emotional punch. Great use of rhythm.

    In future poems, you might try using more concrete images and discreet details to represent your emotions.

    I like how the poem is part of an imaginary dialogue between the author and a lost loved one. It’s an interesting structure for approaching a poem.

    Keep it up!

    This is a short and sweet poem that gets a very strong point across. From reading it I can tell how much you care about this person and how much you feel you own them. It is really good that you are aware of the mistakes that you made and that you are willing to build relationships back up. Once you find forgiveness people will start helping you and it will make you feel really good. Keep up the great work, you go this!

    That’s some serious dedication right there. It sounds like you’re really committed to making things right and building a strong future together. Keep that energy up!
