Life

I will never understand life

No matter how many breaths I take

No matter how many days I see the sunrise

It would have been nice

Not to shatter inside

Every time I make a mistake

Cause if I knew life it would be easier

I could finally give my soul some peace

If I knew life I wouldn´t have to move a muscle

Finish a perfect puzzle

Instead of being the missing piece

I´m alone, now I´m alone

My life slipped away, I lost all I got

Thought it was love

But you said it was not

I understood life when you where here

But when you left, it was like I forgot

Now I´m just empty

Standing by the sea

My hair full of wind

And they say time changes everything

But that´s a lie, after goodbye

Light disappeared from my eyes

Life certainly won´t tell me why

I´m standing by the shore

Not me anymore

Just a face, just a heart, just a broken soul

The wind might be blowing like crazy

But I can´t feel it at all

Now What I think is this poem's the best poem of yours. Life's yes the same approximately as same as you mentioned into the words. When we're in love, we feel we're living the life but when we come in pain after getting hurt by love then we feel we're the lonely one into the world with the pain without smile that always even every day comes with us and makes the day filled with haters...but if we're human then pain and happiness always come in our life and it's on us how we do except with happiness or without tears. Worst time and the Good time are the parts of time. Time's one and time brings everything for what we do ever wish so, it's also on us how we make our future bright and what kinda future we want living at all because living with worst time means no happiness, no love, no liking, no peace and so on but living with good time means love, joy, happiness, smiles, peace, money, beauty and everything so, it's a very nice theme of yours you penned into words to let every one know that life is one and to live is beautifully we all gotta learn how to make smile on our face first...because love's not what that's everything in life yeah, it is! But only if we treat love right!

So, I'd love to say everybody should live their lives with love, a love that never hurts the body of anyone at all.

How wonderful this was :) I'm glad I found this. I confess, your smile from your profile picture drew me in, and now your skillful poetry will make me return. Good job Johanna.

In particular, the final paragraph was my favorite. Try reading it aloud: it flows as easily as what it pertains to. Wonderful.

Are we but dolls, puppets or marionettes? For what is a lifeless being after a broken heart?

Sadly we are human still, emotionally scattered, mentally broken but cosmically we are the tiny specks into the looking glass of the universal language that we call our life.

Surely, we give ourselves a philosophical dive as to what life is and to understand its extensions but really we're just going in circles. Life is the mysteries of what the universe has yet to explain us and as the specks that we are we present insignificance to it but significantly we are pieced together. There is no final or missing piece in the cosmos just more shapes and sizes for us to continually fit ourselves in. This is what reality has yet to offer us but we reject it.

We are alone, a reality we sorely keep embracing as it is tucked inside somewhere in the nook and cranny of our heart. Although, we have someone, we don't see it rather can't see it. We look for it but it's already found us. We ignore it because it doesn't make the impact that our friends would do or our lovers would reciprocate but it's already caused an impact and reciprocation only we forget to thank it...I talk about our soul. As for our soul mate it is still out there searching.

Don't dream it's over because no sands in the cosmos will be over until it decides to take it away from us or we start to take everything away from us. For what changes with time, it coincides and creates a ripple perhaps even a wrinkle that we don't see yet. Waves don't start out big but as small ripples that we throw a small rock called hope so that when we least expect to hit us it has become a wave that takes us over.

Lifelessness does not reflect you but a sign of rebirth will give you vivacity.
We are the singulars but that is what makes us changing factor.
And you will find your love again, it did started out small correct?
