Married life v.s single life (collab with nikki)

by Libby Vella   Nov 6, 2007


Married life is all about compromise and sharing
But still letting your partner know that you are caring
There are the times when you always ask yourself why?
But when you look at them you know you cant say good bye

Single life is all about flirting and getting your way
But to me having a married life always seems so cliche
Having no one to make my decisions, to me is the best
No having to come home to a guy that is so obsessed

Married life can sometimes be really tough
Its not all great, sometimes it is not enough
Wanting to know what would happen if it changed
Wondering if for a moment you were deranged

Single life has a lot of ups and downs
It has a lot of smiles but still a lot of frowns
Sometimes longing for the one to hold you close
But knowing that you have no one to oppose

Married life has happiness and love
Knowing you have found your one from above
The one who always puts a smile on your face
Knowing in this world you have a place

Single life you can always do what you please
Nothing to worry about while you are taking guys for quickies
Going to parties and always acting hard core
Knowing the next day that memories I can ignore

Married life for me (Nikki)

Married life is all I have ever known
Knowing my love for him has always grown
Its something I could never ever forget
But in my life with him, I have no regrets

Single life for me (Libby Vella)

Single life for me is as fine as it could be
Not really caring who is there for me
Hopefully one day I will open my eyes
And let my heart up to a wonderful surprise

this is my first collab ever.
ahe did the married life stanza's and i did the single life stanza's.

she is married i am single so we thought it made sense to try it out

    Nice effort for a first attempt together, I like the alternating stanzas makes it sound like you're almost arguing with each other on whose opinion is better.
    The flow was a little bit shaky in the first couple of stanzas but settled into a nice smooth rhythm after the initial stutter.
    Nice imagery used throughout, captures the readers imagination nicely.

    I would personally have liked to see a few more metaphors in this, I think it would really have brought it to life.

    Overall a very unique idea, nicely written.
    I eagerly await any further collab you two do together.

    Nice work Libby.
