A morning Gallo
You said you'd never leave me,
You promised me you cared.
You kissed me goodnight,
But when morning came you weren't there.
That next night;
I set out to find you.
I looked in the shadows,
Until el gallo crowed at the sight of morning.
I know now;
That I will never find you.
I know now;
That I am lost.
With a gun held high to my head,
Hell does not make me tremble in fear.
Knowing now that I will never find you;
That's the only thing that makes me shed a tear.
You promised me you cared.
You kissed me goodnight,
But when morning came you weren't there.
That next night;
I set out to find you.
I looked in the shadows,
Until el gallo crowed at the sight of morning.
I know now;
That I will never find you.
I know now;
That I am lost.
With a gun held high to my head,
Hell does not make me tremble in fear.
Knowing now that I will never find you;
That's the only thing that makes me shed a tear.

The last stanza is the most powerful in the whole of your poem, and sums up well the despair that is felt throughout this piece.
It is short, and powerful. I like that.
