Like my Memories--collab with Rabea

by Sunshine   Sep 8, 2011


I ask of you, before you love me
to destroy me, break my heart to
countless softened pieces
burn my soul into light ashes,
but don't blow me away...

And if you ask me why
my darling, then I hope
my silence satisfies you
as the answer might be
painful, very painful.

For I misshapen to
be a heavy ground that
carries on its shoulders
burdens of a house haunted by
memories that are to the slightest
wound, broken, shattered
and burnt.

So before you love me my
darling, make out of me
a portion of these memories,
to be able to love you back.

    Wow ... this was an amazing collaboration! I loved the opening stanza, it really engaged me as the reader.

    I think that this stanza really spoke to me too:
    "For I misshapen to
    be a heavy ground that
    carries on its shoulders
    burdens of a house haunted by
    memories that are to the slightest
    wound, broken, shattered
    and burnt."

    I love the idea of this poem, and it was just so deep yet expressed simply and sweetly... you can tell that this 'person' is warning the person that might love them to beware of his/her fears and past memories... I really loved this collaboration. I really enjoyed it. I am a fan of both of your work and I think your styles meshed well together in this one.

    Great job my friends :* <3

    While you two did a superb job, from the harmonious order of each stanza and the emotions soaring freely as I read through, I however think that your word choice is somehow simple and the unnecessary repetition in some way made this piece a little obvious. But not to worry, collaboration is not an easy task to do , but you perfect it together as if two minds but with a single thought, and that's more than enough.
