LOVE

I've heard its something wonderful

That everyone should have

But what if it is something that evades you

And something you don't have

 

Your told that you need it

How can you go without

Your life is not complete

Unless it's in your heart

 

But to go there is just to painful

You've been there once before

The thought of going back there

Is to painful to endure

 

So you go through life without it

Don't let it come about

Stand back and watch

As it quietly passes on by

This is a sad piece to think someone does not have or has been touched by love. A great emotional write!

[Jen Lauren]

You capture this feeling well and I think everyone can relate.

[Kim Kruger]

Kim, this is very melancholy but I believe you've captured the essence of the pain that failed love can cause and indeed is common in so many. Very nicely done.

[Just Manoosh]

The sadness thing is that from the greatest pain blooms wonderful poetry.

A sad but lovely write.

Yep, the game goes on without you even if you don't want to play. I spent most of my life getting run over, and I almost gave up before I finally found the one. Interesting ideas, almost philosophical.

Love is something we all should have in our life, and they say there is someone for everyone. Don't be afraid to love. Don't be frightened to give your heart away. A failed loved can be painful, but you can't let the fear of being hurt deprive you of the one thing that gives us reason for living, The age old saying " It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all " still hold true. Life without love is empty and lonely.
Sad lonely, and yearning.
Beautifully written.
Thanks for sharing.

I like this one, everyone needs to be touched by love so they can write good poetry!!
Heartfelt work

[Michael X]

analyzing the saddening concept alone, i would have to say this really touches the heart,
in its depressing state of yearning for love, your thoughts flow from your heart and the
rhythm is felt in your words, melancholy emotions seem to surface as one is pulled into
the images of love passing by, this would work well as a free form writing, as well.
i believe you depicted the vision in a way most people can relate to in one way or another,
heartbreakingly beautiful, filled with sublte passionate desire, a pleasure to read, thanks
