walking away

I'll never be myself again until I can look
at you and walk away.
Someday I'll have to test it,
But right now there's  no point.
Because if I were close enough to see you,
you'd run before i 'd never walk.

    Very good write. I totally identify with it! I'm trying to find that place myself yet, where I can walk away. Good work with this. I understand how you meant never in the last line, however, using "ever" would probably still get the idea across and wouldn't be so confusing as using it the way it is. "Yould run, before I would never walk" Drawing out the contractions it sounds funny. It is a mix of positive and negative. You could say "you''ld run, BUT I'd never walk" Or even You'ld run, before I'd ever walk" would get the idea across. Just a suggestion, hope it doesn't bug you. I really liked this, good writing!

    I lied this poem...but I wonder if you meant to say 'ever' instead of 'never at the end...for it sounds kind of confusing if you truly meant never...but besides that, I loved it very much...Continue the great writing and thank you for comenting on my poem. ^.^

    I liked this poem until the last two words, then I became confused because I am not sure what you meant by:
    "you'd run before i 'd never walk." is it a typo...do you mean...
    you'd run before i 'd EVER walk..or..EVEN walk ...or am I having a dense moment and am missing something obvious? Please let me know!
