It was such a pleasure writing with you, I felt we were able to get so much into the piece from our emotional connections.

You are awesome sweetie, Thank you for writing with me. We did good...

For some reason, I have the feeling that Tara wrote the following stanza, I could be wrong but I'm itching to know who wrote what lol. this was a great poem and I feel like I can see the connection. The title grabbed my attention immediately and I couldn't resist to read it which I'm glad I did. Great work.

Perhaps,
since my whole life
has been surrounded
by darkness,
the latter is more obedient.

"And,
even though we're
walking the same
path on the opposite
sides of the earth,
I've never felt so alone."

I feel like lioness wrote the above stanza, but I could be wrong. This poem was well done, and I'm having a hard time trying to think who wrote which one. :s

You know, scratch my first comment out. This poem is really good, I can't figure out who wrote which.

The sadness can be feel and I still feel the need to continue reading it.

Liz and Tara!!! WOW- Ladies, you both captivate me with your beautiful and powerful emotions within your poetry and now you both teamed up and just spun me into a whirl wind... excellent piece ladies!!! love it :-)

Have you ever really
stared at yourself
in the mirror and
watched the way
your eyes would swell
just before you
breakdown?

^^^ That is an incredible opening question/ stanza, because yes I HAVE! And sometimes I'll do it just to watch my eyes change colors...I loved this opening!

I wanted to keep the memories
safe, but they still
ran ragged in my mind...

along with the rest of
my unrestrained thoughts.

^^ This is a beautiful way of putting the struggle of moving on...So relatable! To many!

even though we're
walking the same
path on the opposite
sides of the earth,
I've never felt so alone.

^ quite enjoyed the irony in this stanza! So many in the world are walking the same exact past, wasting their life or going through the same thing in some way or another, yet we dont even know them and we still feel alone hoping someone knows what we are going through

Ladies you guys did a great job with this piece! Sometimes sad poetry is the best poetry!

Ladies, what a powerful write. I simply loved it. Bravo!

Liz, you and tara clearly work well together. Both your styles macthed and you can see the effort put into the piece. I love how you cannot tell which part you wrote and which part tara wrote. You styles just flow together so well. I look forward to the pair of you doing more collabs in the future. Weldone girls.

5/5
