        Ok, like forever ago I asked for opinions for if I should enter this school poem contest and since no one really said anything, I prepared a poem so I want honest opinions on if it's good. The title is My Beautiful White Dove and it is sad:

The person you love is like an automatic best friend, someone who will support you 'till the end,
They help you conquer all your fears, and wipe away every tear,
But when they leave, the only thing you can do is grieve,
'Till death to us part, they are the words that ring through my broken heart,
Long ago I made that vow, I didn't break or back then or now,
But now you're gone, like the early morning dawn,
If I haven't ever met you, I don't know what I would do,
Because you stayed faithful year by year, and that's just one of the reasons why I love you my dear,
And without your light, my heart would turn as dark as night,
What keeps me happy I'm glad to say, is when I remember how I proposed to you that day,
You smiled and squealed yes, and when you hugged me I felt the softness of your dress,
As I held you close, I whispered I loved you most,
The memory still makes my heart soar, but I can't live without you anymore,
I rubbed my silver wedding band, and used the wall to help me stand,
I shakily grabbed the gun by my bed, and cringed as I hesitantly pressed it to my forehead,
'I will see you soon my love', I muttered and thought about seeing you above, 'together we will fly like a beautiful white dove',
'Free of pain, for we both have been slain, and there will be no more sorrow, as we spread our wings and fly past tomorrow',
As I clicked the gun saftey off, I heard the door open and a man cough,
I avoided looking at him in the eye, as I gradually started to cry,
It was my father, he had came to see what was the bother,
'Son of mine, you're not nine!' He bellowed as I bit back a whine,
Don't you see, how much pain doing that would give me?'
Silence filled the air, and I could practically taste my dad's despair,
Finally he said at last, 'it's time for you to let go of the past',
With much reluctance I threw down the gun, realizing that I had almost hurt someone,
If my dad was alone, he would suffer like I did on my own,
'Lets go', my dad kept his movements towards me slow, like at any moment I'd blow,
Numbly I followed him outside, and that was when it hit me that I had almost died,
With the pull of a trigger, my life would've ended with little vigor,
As we drove away, In my mind I began to pray,
'Though life I'm not void of, I am so sorry my love, just remember you will always be my beautiful white dove'
