I seriously think our styles are so so so similar.
I can't even.. your poetry always touches me..
to me it always seems like something I would write.. such simple but powerful use of language you always hit the right spots.

(okay, that sounded cocky.. but you get what I mean.)

Gorgeous write Leona.
gorgeous.

Liz, This is an incredibly touching piece...

I love how you expressed feeling her pain with the title...

A real lovely dedication to someone dear to you who is suffering without realisation...

Love your words and gentle warmth within the piece, soothing to the soul while heartbreaking too.

This hit me right in the heart. Such a powerful message. It's always been a fear of mine to suffer this some day, what could be more terrifying than not knowing who your family is, or where home is? It really makes you stop and appreciate things you normally skip right over.

The first two stanzas for sure had me, and had me so emotionally invested, tears came to my eyes. This is a strong, STRONG poem.

I just cant hold my tears while reading it Liz. What an amazing dedication this is. It touched me heart and soul. The way you described the different things that happened in her life just touched me so badly.

You always deliever your emotions to the reader, this way we can share your feelings with you.

Loved it.

:-( as you know.... I work with beautiful angels who have Dementia and Alzheimer's... and so... this poem has touched me deeply.... Touching piece..

This is very heart wrenching and touching. i work in a nursing home and i work with residents with dementia all the time, it's truly sad. :( my heart goes out to you and your family because i know it is so hard to go through. beautiful poem. 5/5

This is so sad, not only getting old on top
you have to suffer. I breaks my heart
to watch people dealing with it. But God knows, the pain we at times cause.
very heartbreaking and touching poem
excellent work

Powerful piece Liz. It broke my heart.

Liz, I have been wanting to write about alzhaimer but I haven't gotten my way to write about such a delicate subject. I feel you have written this piece so perfectly and I can't say much other than it has touch my heart.

Omg Im on tears. This poem is sooo heartfelt.
Wish you and your grandmother the best<3

When I first read the title, I thought it was a bit robotic (?) for my tastes, but of course the actual poem changed my mind. The echo of the title here:
"your tears spoke
to me in a universal
language,"
was totally unexpected (for me) I just love it.
This is a very touchy topic to write about, and you penned it really well without actually overburdening the poem with emotion.
"but the tears that
fell yesterday
drenched your
heart because you
had forgotten your
way home,"
The imagery and emotion became one here, really breathtaking!
The ending was perfectly penned. Hope all the best for your grandmother.

"Your blue eyes
had sunken in
and the haze that
had covered them
before your sadness
fell to your cheeks
was irrefutably
touching,"
--One of my favorite part. I love the way you worded it, the rhythm is cool and even the poem was written in the freelance the current of the flows are smooth and perfectly written.

"I'd recall the nights I
had slept over your
house and watched
you sew and knit, I
wondered how you
took care of your
grandkids as well
as your eight
angels."

--Even in this part itself, conveys the power of emotion, stated clearly the feelings of the persona...and wondering some things about her grandma...it so touchy, and even I drift with the emotion...

'When you lost
your son, it was
the first time I
could really see you,
and the sadness had
connected us
completely,"

--Wow. I think my feelings are already connect in this poem,too. Brilliant penned.

but the tears that
fell yesterday
drenched your
heart because you
had forgotten your
way home,

and I do hope
that one day
you'll find it.

--Well, genius writer knows how to end this piece...I love and enjoy reading from the beginning to the end part...very interesting and impressing. Great work:))
