Guest Post - The Last Time I Saw You, by Liz Paez
Photo by Joanne Olivieri - Verse by Liz Paez
The last time I saw you-
dad, was that really you?
Defeated by the anger of your own childhood
Conquered by the only pain you knew.
The last time I saw you-
Dad, it was hard to watch.
Unidentifiable actions, and unrecognized thoughts
The last time I saw you-
Dad, that was all I could hear
force felt through the walls, sounds of sirens near
The last time I saw you-
Dad, how can this be?
The last time I saw you
You weren't loving me

I love the colors blue and purple playing in the picture. What was the black liquid falling off?

Ann, it really is and when I read her work it always touches me.
Michelle, it's actually water which gives the effect of tears.
Kass, I wanted to publish her poetry with something dark that displayed tears so I created that photo specifically for Liz's poem.
Shark, thank you so much :)
Self, Yes, very and thank you so much
