sad poetry

The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.

The Sweet Nothing
i have nothing to offer you a sad and sorry truth all i have is how i feel for you that’s just me so what the use i can’t take you away from all this

No questions
I'm alone, just like I asked, on repeat, through the walls, to an all alone, lonely me, Three's a crowd, and zero is a steed, that one rides into misery, If death is after me it's either bored or a double-digit zero like me Nay, I'm being held up by figments, chased by clouds, I'm in love with imagination, Neigh, he says, I'm being held up by fingers, chased by devils, Out of love with suffering, One is a damned thing zero is a heartless steed the empty in a zero, just like me.

Whistler no more
I’d like to see the Whistler I know you’d like it too If you could come along with me A great day out it would have been But not for you this tempting treat Your days of art and visits done I miss you Dad is all I’ll say From this your loving son

The Quiet Truth
Two quiet hearts that held a flame, yet each whispered another’s name. My love was real, though not my true, And deep down, yours was guarded too.

Love's Fading Whisper
Why do you pull away at night in the quiet of your sleep? Or pat me on the hand like a friend. And when I want to make love, you only want to play, then wander off and go away.

Soulz
Your energy meets mine— not with a whisper, nor with spoken words, but with a deep, effortless, familiar spark I have known for as long as I have known time.

Shattered Like a Broken Mirror
Shattered Like a Broken Mirror Shattered like a broken mirror, Scattered on the floor. Every piece reflects a life, That isn’t whole anymore.

You Can’t Glue Us Back Together
You Can’t Glue Us Back Together You can’t glue us back together, The cracks are far too deep. Promises once brightly made, Are memories I keep.

The Voicemail I Still Can’t Delete
Your voice is still alive in the smallest room of my phone. Fourteen seconds. That is all the mercy the universe left me.

I Won’t Argue Over Tomorrow
I Won’t Argue Over Tomorrow I won’t argue over tomorrow, It has not spoken my name. Today is the gift I hold close, Before it fades away.

Sanguivorous Stasis
Skin numb Bled dry Your robe engulfs Solemn night Time enrapture Eager ripples Silken nape Echoes, silences Shadow womb Boned abyss Stunned dulled deep pains Skin nibbled dry Your ripe enjoyment trails Stake enters slowly Your rasp plea Aural luxury yoke Eating gnawing guides Silken nipples soft teats Submerge eager ravish Hope emanates Strains stains slip Pure endorphins Sunken nullified Damned demeanour Ruined driven Nothing gives Static Conscious stalls
