About the Poem. This is a poem about a girl I recently started dating. I thought of all the ways she affects my life and wrote them down (this is quite possibly my longest poem yet). I am greatly influenced by music (mostly punk, ska, alternative, and hard rock), so my poetry is like lyrics to songs. I hope to one day put this to music and play it for her.
