in depth look at poem: This poem was actually written in an area next to a bathroom. (it contained a sink and a huge mirror above it) I couldn't sleep that night and had been just thinking when I thought of Sarah and how much I missed her. So I wrote this poem for her. I think this is one of the only poems about her that I have ever given her or shown her (unless she looks at this page).


these are the times

these are the times that I miss you
the long nights with no one near me
no one for me to ask questions about life

these are the times that I miss you
the long nights without any company
or someone just to be with and talk with

these are the times that I miss you
the time that I spend with everyone else
but not spending time with you
