The [Stand In] Companion
All I want is
Someone
With whom
To share
The details with
Carefully listening
Giving my life
Meaning and purpose
Knowing that all
Will not be forgotten
Making me feel
Importance in
All that I do
Giving recognition
Where it is desired
Taking my hand
Walking with me
Day by day
Filling in
The missing spaces
Someone on whom
I can rely
When I have lost myself
To find and gather
All my broken pieces
A temporary being
Here to take
The place of
A love lost
Long ago
Alone I will
Never be
So long as
I have you here
For the time being

This one I'm writing a comment even though I didn't give it a five.
I like this. I get the idea that your trying get across in a way. But In some ways I'm still very confused. And I like that about this poem. I think the reason I'm confused is that the background of the poem is a complete mystery to me.
Taking my hand

I LOVE that stanza!!!!!! haha now to the critique.
This poem left me feeling like I often feel when I get done reading proffessional poetry - impressed and more than a little confused. Don't get me wrong - that's not a critisism. I don't have a poetic mind, so when I say "confused", what you should be hearing is "your poem is deep and poetic enough to fluster a very literal person, and that's AWESOME." That being said, I did have one critisism, and that's the flow. It seems kind of choppy the way you have it formatted. Maybe you intended it that way - I know I've done that before. :) Overall, very good job!
