Dedicated to Tef =P

if you ask me now where my heart is
i wouldn't know what to say
i think it grew wings on both sides
and then flew away
i should have chained it down
and held on a little tighter
now i have no heart
and my body's a little lighter
i think i just might float
lifeless and alone
to nowhere, from nowhere
where ever the wind has blown
my heart had kept me steady
and helped me feel alive
now it's g o n e and i have nothing
and i doubt i can survive

I liked this. I'd add capital letters and add punctuation. I like the idea of the heart having wings and the rhyming scheme worked well.

With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise."

I'd definitely capitalize the i's but otherwise I think it's pretty good. You have a nice sense of rhythm and your rhymes are quite natural, not forced. Your images are a little cliche, but then on this topic it's hard not to be. Overall a good poem, but it would benefit from a little originality :) Try stretching a little next time.
