I really love this one. The unwavering strength and faith of the friend to stand by even in the most dismal circumstances. It's beautiful, really. I love how I can feel the emotion in this, the heart, the love. When I read through it, I can imagine the emphasis on the lines 'I won't give up on you. I won't give up on you.' In my head, it's being said firmly, as if in arguement to the friend drowning in sadness and despair. The images are vivid, and the word choice is excellent. The rhyme adds substance to it. The only thing that could possibly hinder it, is that in some lines, it takes a bit of effort for the reader to grab the right rhythm to make it flow. But, still, it doesn't take away anything from the poem itself. I love the promise in the words. I just can't get that out of my head. And while I'm here commenting you, I wanted to add, although I'm sure you know, that I will never give up on you, my Eggo.
