If you asked me how we got here,
I wouldn't know how to respond.
If you asked me how we got here,
it's not a subject of which I am fond.
I'd tell you that the goblins,
filled with greed and hate.
Escorted us to separate dwellings,
according to fate.
I'd tell you that an earthquake,
one that spread far,
separated the earth in half,
with us each on a different bar.
I'd whisper that the dragons,
roaming and soaring once more,
flew me to the castle in the clouds,
and turned you into naught but folklore.
From here to there,
across the plain,
legend tells us;
"losing is something we can afford to gain."
You are here,
I am there.
The distance is slight,
if you understand where.
The truth of how we got here,
is more than a fact,
the tide drifted us apart,
to a sea of a different pact.
Ours mind fogged by the new sea,
wandered near.
Losing more than sleep,
this is how we got here.

Oh wow, this is great.
:]
If I'm not mistaken this is rather...philosophical, no?
I love philosophy. Wondering, why are we here? How did we get here? How long do we have here? This poem is just a lovely answer to all of those questions. :]
Plus I love fantasy type things like this, even if it isn't in a literal sense.
I really liked this.
Post more soon, I would love to read it!!!!
:]
Intriguing! I like how it tells a story. It's creative and you've got some great wording so far. I liked the bits about dragons and goblins that are your reasons for being separated.
Here are some things I think would help fix it. They're just my opinions, though, you can totally ignore my ramblings if you'd like.
All in all, I think this is a great poem! You had some creative ideas and the style was well done. Just work a bit on the rhyming and maybe making some of your ideas a bit more clear for us slower people.
Hope I helped! PM me if you have any questions!
