sad poetry

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

Reaping Growth
Take away my growth. Take away the miles and miles of suffering Laid out behind me like a how-to guide on failure. . Take away the ladders I built

Wish to Know....
Wish to Know... Standing at the tip of the highest mountain, Where the sky kisses the earth in silent longing. The wind whispers stories of those who dared, Yet left no footprints behind. Like a bird without wings, I long to dive, To measure how deep the mountain buries its pain. Does it cradle lost dreams in its rocky heart? Does it remember the weight of those who climbed, Only to fall? Keep going, deeper, past the roots of time, Until even the echoes forget my name. Wish to know... Standing in the center of the endless ocean, Where the waves rise and fall like a restless heartbeat. The water calls, its voice soft yet relentless, Pulling me into its cold embrace. Like a raindrop returning home, I yearn to sink, To touch the ocean’s deepest secrets. Does it carry the sorrows of forgotten souls? Does it remember the tears that fell unnoticed? Let the tides wash away my pain, Let the currents erase what I used to be. Wish to know...

The Timeless Beauty of Poetry ✨ Poetry is more than just words on a page—it is an art form that speaks to the soul. It captures emotions, paints vivid pictures, and expresses the inexpressible. Whether through rhythm, rhyme, or free verse, poetry has the power to move, inspire, and heal.

The Eyes of Duality
Beneath the moon’s soft silken glow, A shadow dances. Hmm... friend or foe? Laughter echoes, sharp and sweet, In every loss is a hidden treat.

I Didn’t Care
I never thought about tomorrow, Lived each day without a plan. Didn’t chase the things I wanted, Didn’t try, said, “I don’t care.”

She Didn't Love me, But She Loved The Free Therapy
She didn’t love me, but she loved the way I loved her. The way I showed up, heart in hand, offering her the world, While she barely offered me a second thought.

You’re No Good
You’re No Good The words you spoke, a bitter sting, A hollow tune that lost its ring. A promise cracked, each vow undone,

A land where nothing exists
A land where nothing exists A land where silence reigns, Where roots find no hold, No bloom, no dawn, Only the stillness of untold stories.

crumb catching
You drop breadcrumbs little tokens of happier times that make me think there might be a trail back to then but they turn to mush

All I want All I’ve ever wanted I’m too afraid to seek Whether you’re close enough To smell the sweetness of your scent

Do you think they‘ll remember? - The woman who was glue Who stuck to each of us Even as we sought to tug away Move away
