When You'Re Gone Poem by Fareez Phalez

You told me to walk on this road
It's an open world to roam
You told me not to have any fear
'Cause I am not alone

And you did pick me up
When I once fell on my knees
You said I could go further
So you fixed my broken wings

I followed whatever you said
You labelled me a true soldier
But at times I cry
I always had your shoulders

But now my heart breaks
To see you fall to defeat
I thought you were stronger
With a heart harder than concrete

When you can't get up
How can I move on?
I shed so many tears
When my hero's gone

Now my spirit died
My soul twisted and weak
I need you right here
I am falling sick

Don't expect me to be strong
I can't get up to my feet
Even the truest soldier
Needs someone to lead
