Quote of the day:
A poem is never finished, only abandoned.
-Paul Valery



IF.

If i
could
make
you everyone
a
better
person
by
my
poetry words

If love
didn't exist
side
by side
with pain
how
do we then
learn live.

    We'd probably learn to live without love and pain..

    But then that would be boring..

    Shame that most of us experience pain along side love.

    Nice one Blogoratti.

    Love would always exist side by side with pain... if not we will definitely live in pretense.

    To coat tail on what BBB said and to quote yet again James Morrison's "Love is Hard" :

    And it kicks so hard,
    It breaks your bones.
    Cuts so deep
    It hits your soul.
    Tears your skin and
    And makes your blood flow.
    It's beter that you know,
    That love is hard..

    Love is hard, love is hard.

    If it was easy,
    It wouldn't mean nothing though.

    enough stalking it's time to leave some paw prints on this here blog.

    My man,
    your words are totally thought invoking.
    Life without emotions is like roaming blind without the other 4 senses.

    If love didn't exist side by side with pain then we wouldn't learn...And we would live but we wouldn't appreciate...If we haven't seen bad how then can we know what is good? If we haven't felt the pain of losing something or someone then how can we know to appreciate them?

    As usual, brilliant...

    Hope you're having a great week

    "If love
    didn't exist
    side
    by side
    with pain
    how
    do we then
    learn live"

    truer words have never been spoken...however, is shouldn't be love and pain all the time tho right? because i think that's abuse..lol...(i have a weird sense of humor)

    Love is pain. Is it worth it? Yes because love is what makes us human. Besides, pain strengthens love. Nicely written =)
