    Pretty good. the only thing is..well im not sure you did this on purpose or what but

    This place I sit,
    Shall not consume me.
    I shall sit here,

    seems a little repetitive with teh siting.
    besides that its pretty good.

    This piece is so sad Simon , you have painted a picture in my head of a little old man just sitting there all alone , with his elbows on his knees and his hands under his chin . Waiting !!

    I fear I sometimes read something else out of someone's poetry but this is the image that I received from this piece . It is wonderfully written Simon and I just had to reread it many times because I just loved it so.....

    "Biding my time,
    And dreaming of you."

    ^^ the way that you ended it completely gives the poem a make over...it captivates me...the way you have conveyed your emotions is brilliant...i really cannot find anything to critique in this siE, it is really flawless. But I think that the third last line..."entertaining my thoughts", is a little long, and takes away the honor that the last two lines should recieve...only if you could use a few less syllables in that, i think it would be a little better...but i dont know...obviously, you write better than me lol. Take care sie, Dhaval

    Hey SiE, I really love this write..... gives a person something to think about. The only thing I see with it are the last 3 three lines....

    Entertaining my thoughts,
    Biding my time,
    And dreaming of you.

    Maybe say something like

    Biding my time,
    Entertaining thoughts,
    Dreaming of you.

    or

    Entertaining thoughts,
    Biding my time
    Dreaming of you

    Other than that, it's a perfect read. I truly enjoyed it.
