Complex System

by LostWords   Sep 27, 2012


Alone in the world
without a smile on my face,
I sit here and remember
the memories we once shared.

Being by myself drives me insane.
Stuck in the labyrinth,
thinking I might escape it one day.
Using the future to elude the present.

Nothing in life lasts forever.
Eventually everything runs its course.

    Yup, That's how it works.

    Nothing in life last forever, eventually, it has to end.
    But when something ends there is the option for something new beginning. It's all right to look back at the past but only for reassurance and to learn from it, and the way humans usually learn is by getting hurt sadly. Nice piece.

    Makes one think.

      Amreen, you are right. It can help heal any pain. Thank you!

      Thank you for the well thought comment Forgotten Soul. I'm glad someone understands how I feel. Stuck.

      Everlasting, I always try to leave a little something for my readers to pander about. I'm glad I got you thinking. You are right, when something ends there is a new beginning for something else.

    I hv too been lost in myself thinking
    About memories. Alone in the world.
    Exactly how we all feel.

    Being by myself drives me insane
    Stuck in the labyrinth
    Thinking I might escape it one day
    Using the future to elude the present

    We feel as though we need that person
    Back when they won't even give us a
    Second look. Labyrinth perfect way to
    Describe it.

    Nothing in life lasts forever
    Eventually everything runs its course

    What an interesting way to end it and it works
    To its fullest. Give the reader something to think
    About. A well thought up poem 5/5
