This isn't that great, and I wrote it a while ago, but I hadn't posted anything in a while, and thought I could make it better.
--------------------------
I'd told you I care
and I'd do what you want.
I said I would live with you,
and follow you anywhere.
I followed when you left,
and sold my house to travel with you.
I said I would be with you,
and follow you anywhere.
I said I would be there,
no matter what happened.
I'd follow you anywhere,
even to heaven.

awwwwwwwww(: This is so sweet! Who is this about?
I really did enjoy this poem. This was just some constructive criticism.
I thought this was a really good piece. It it's a little hard to see what your feeling, but this is your personal experience. I thought it was really good. It's one of those poems where its almost as if I'm watching everything your talking about unfold before me.
Over all: I think you need some more imagery / examples to help get your point across.
Also, you didn't really move from the I will follow you thing. That's not good, it makes your poem boring. You need to move from one idea to the next and result with that final conclusion that will leave us saying, you'd follow him/her anywhere, even to heaven.
Writing a poem can be like writing an essay or teaching a lesson in a class. You need to give examples and a fluid chain of thought. Everything you say has to help us get to your main idea or lesson, all of your details and ideas need to support one another, and what you have here is one idea repeated over and over; there's nothing to follow.
Next time you write a poem, try mapping it out first, getting your ideas and basic descriptions down first. And you can ask yourself, do these support my main idea(s)? If so, how / why? And the better you can answer these questions can help you decide the usefulness of your lines. And remember, whatever you use to answer this question must be in the poem or implied / suggested enough that it can be reached though our thought process.
Good luck, keep writing.
