This Life We Live

This Life We Live
I heard once that
Happiness comes to those
Who care more
Because it fills the heart
I’ve been learning that each day

 

I continue to let you in
And I want nothing more
Than to have this with you
You make me so happy
But am I making the right choice?

 

I miss you so much
A day doesn’t go by
Where I don’t think about you
How your life is going
And if your doing okay..

 

We use to talk each day
But now months go by
My heart aches to see you
I just want you back here
Why do you have to live there?

 

Everyday I see people suffering
I see them reaching out for help
But sometimes they don’t receive it
Because others are too busy to see
And that’s why they are in this mess

 

I use to cry myself to sleep every night
Because nothing ever went right
And shredding tears was the only peace
Only my pillow would ever see
But now I laugh more than before

 

The closest people to me
Are my loving family
Without them I couldn’t be
I fall, they are the only ones catching me
And their love is so rare

 

Outside of my family
You’re the closest one
But I see you sinking in smoke
Your oh so young
And nothing I say changes you

 

Everyone wants love
So why is it so hard to find
Some don’t know what it is
They never can receive it
So they give up..

 

This life we live
Is truly unforgettable
We breath in the memories
Take a chance at everything
And sometimes we all fall down
But there’s always something underneath you..

This life we live
Is truly unforgettable
We breath in the memories
Take a chance at everything
And sometimes we all fall down
But there’s always something underneath you..

The message of hope in the end inspite of everything going wrong in life was awesome.

Well written and great emotional expression. Its so hard to lose someone a little at a time as much as it hurts to lose them all at once. I'm wondering if you meant "shedding tears" rather then "shredding tears"?

Good job!

[April Child]

These are the words of a beautiful open heart.

There is alot of pain and suffering in this life but there is much beauty too. I hope you find the right balance.

[Satellite Heart]

Amazing Work! Very True "We breathe in memories" wow so beautiful.

[Elanra]

this poem is just pure! true sincerity and honesty pouring out of it.. you review the life and ask questions in it, you tell us a story, and then also share the problems.. it is very heart-warming but also at some parts quite heart-wrenching..

I too, also loved this part:

"This life we live
Is truly unforgettable
We breath in the memories
Take a chance at everything
And sometimes we all fall down
But there's always something underneath you.."

A perfect ending to a pure and impressive piece of art. I congratulate you on this.
Very well done.

Wow I don't like to say that poets grow I like to say that poets brings us along their journey and QP that is what you did here in this wonderful piece. You at times comes across simple then at times complex but always CREATIVE. That is why I love reading your work.

[R J Askew]

This is the outpouring of a most kind-hearted person. The depth of caring comes over clearly, as does the optimism. I hope the smoker changes his ways.
