Why does a dog chase a car
They can't drive it if they catch it.
Phatom feelings of limb's severed
What of the breast, any feelings of it

When love is the feeling of life
Then gone, are we living or dead

And hate consumes and adds strife
Are we again glad or back to sad

Why do we chase after a love thats gone
Because of a feeling of still being there

Does hate linger long after its done
Or can we heal and live and share

Irish Rose, after this I will go back to nice relaxing poems---- maybe.  Thanks

doreen, think we will ever know the answers?  Of course not.  Always a question.

Butterflies, my kid, it is my turn to ask some questions.  When you were little, you THOUGHT you knew all the answers.  Sorry about that. The devil made me do it.  And thank you.  Hugs

Balladeer, maybe there is something to that car chasing!  

Mysteria, I guess we all can answer the questions differently.  It depends on the day, for me.  Thanks

one day well find out what will happen when the dog catches the car,

but this is my favorite line:
"Or can we heal and live and share"
this is the part i believe in.
