Life

In pain!
Love
oh so vague,
undefined, 
difficult
to understand;
do I love her?
or is she just a friend-
this life is so
confusing,
a confusing mess,
from the first cry of our hearts and the beat of our lungs
to the dying breath of the lonely,
we
are
confused.

True. Very true. But when you find love... you'll know it.

Bravo, I agree life (as emotional sentient beings) is quite confusing.. Love (to me) has to be the opposite of confusion. It is confidence, sureness, and understanding.. I think your poem just helped me figure that out.. Thank you and keep sharing. ~Joel

Love will manifest itself if we give it enough time....most humans cannot wait and think passion or lust is love. Love is worth waiting for. Good write.
