Even tough I’ve got a long road in front of me
I’ll always be in your heart, always send you my love
Till I’ll be inside your four walls again
far from this lonely town.
I can’t wait to feel the pain
Go away as I hold you in my arms.
Cause your everything I ever wanted and more
Your everything I ever need and more.

Got your picture inside of me
Can’t believe I’ve been away almost a year
Can’t believe I took what we had for granted
I promise you from now on, I will be here
To wipe away every single tear, that you cry

Every time I am away from you I fall so deep
Cause I’m afraid to hurt you, I’m afraid to lose you
So every word I say comes from the heart
Every word is more than true
Cause every word comes out of love
that’s why Every sentence is written with my soul.
Cause your everything I ever wanted and more
Your everything I ever need and more.

Got a vision of you here inside
Can't believe I haven't called for so long
Can't believe I took what we had for granted
But...I promise you from now on, I'll be the one
to hold you when you're alone, for all eternaty

Not a bad job.  Get a thesaurus, and look up "ever."  You used that word far too much.

I'll agree with Allan on this one.  You used "ever" too many times.
Other than that, the poem was great.  I like the title.  Keep sharing..

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

You can use any word you want as many times as you want. In fact, write a poem called Ever and just repeat it over and over again.
Nicely done here though, I liked it.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
