in depth look at poem: This is a poem questioning why she had to leave. Of course, she had to leave and everyone knows why. She needed to get away on her own.


Sarah,
why did you have to go?
you were the only person
who listened to me,
who comforted me.

Sarah,
why did you have to leave?
you were the only person
who spent time with me,
who was a friend.
