Liz, This I think was one of those poems that seems sad and depressing and then gives that light at th end, some hope...
It pains me to read of others troubles and problems for I feel a need to try and help in some way and I fret something rotten when I read anything that has a depressing tone...

I hope you are okay, Sweetie

To the poem, I loved the flow, and the emotion, it wasn't too much, just enough for the heart to do a few twists, just get the head thinking, subtle but evident

Love this

Take Care

I wasn't
expecting to
find heaven
until my last
breath.

^ This just brought myriads of what you cannot imagine into my soul... my all...

This is just amazing.. more than I can describe to you.

The melancholy.. and what comes as a reflection against its facade: hope.. they are so damn perfect with each other.

And the subtle rhymes.

And the opening.. and the closing... all just perfect.
I think I will never stop reading this piece.. because.. because of its simplicity.. yet all those glasses of sadness it fills. I believe this is about losing faith in one's self for a second.. or maybe a lifetime.. but then, someone comes and lifts up from where we were dwelling.

I can see you standing on the verge of breaking down in the first part.... I can see you again looking behind you in the second part, where the hand is pointed your way to save you.. maybe from yourself.. or from life itself.

Liz, this is just too damn awesome.

They always say
not to look down
but the way I was
feeling at that
moment -

how could I not.

^ Omg, that is just too damn perfect an opening!

I guess you could
see something
in me worth
saving...

that I couldn't.

^ comparing this to the opening.. I can see the shades of a rainbow.

Chin up, beautiful, you are indescribable and just made my night...
kisses..

Liz, This piece is outstanding. I loved the poem and it made me think of my own life and all the ups and downs I have had yet my boyfriend has always been there and I feel he saw something in me that was worth saving even though I can't really see it myself.

This poem spoke to my heart and I just loved it.

Consider this nominated.

5/5

Liz,

This piece gave me the chills by just picturing you standing near the edge and almost falling but then that someone comes and saves you, I find that to be romantic because at the end you said something like "you saw something in me that I couldnt see," and I love that. I like when people are able to see what we cannot see in ourselves. This piece aside from giving me the chills is inspirational because everyone can have that something especial that they don't see
And you truly have it.

Amazing piece.

I think I've told you once already,
that I see tons of myself in your writing..

for some odd reason really,
Whenever I read your pieces my mind
just go "damn, this looks like something I would write"

but I don't have to, you speak for me.

not only do I relate to this piece (specially the ending)

but I love how short you make your
phrases, I love your simplicity of language

and your pieces often contain powerful
messages, though this one has more of a sense, what to call it.. its kind of Bittersweet I would say? while its bitter that you couldn't see something in yourself, it is sweet that someone else could.

I enjoyed this from beginning to end

you go girl :)

*grabs tissue* Ok Liz- now I'm ready to comment :-)

Liz, this poem really got to me... within my life a few years back I too felt like I was hanging from a cliff, holding on for dear life by my toes! and then the light appeared and brought me out of the yukkiness... and that is why I was so touched by this poem... what a heart gripping piece this is, very nice!!!!!!

Liz,

I always love what you write. Amazing piece.
