sad poetry

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

But All You See
What does she offer that I can’t? She hates Harry Potter, never read Lord of the Rings But we quote them to each other I make you smile and laugh

The Dirty Road to Hell
The Dirty Road to Hell The dirty road to hell where I fell, dust in my lungs, no tolling bell. No guiding hands, no whispered plea,

Take My Trust Away
When things don’t go my way I lose myself again And take my trust away But then the dark clouds come and I cry all day So then I come back to you and beg you to remove the darkness away

At The Curtain Fall
She holds within her hand a time capsule of the past, A scribble of a pen scratched upon a page in deep regret, Hastily drawn with a crushed heart brooding in wastefulness,

To My Unborn Child
To the baby I never got to meet, I love you. I may not have held you, but I'll spend a lifetime loving you. Though I lost you, you never knew pain.

Fire
She was good at starting a fire, But when it came down to the ashes, She could not put them out. The embers lingered on,

Silent Arpeggios
Did you feel the mattress burn? did you see the lines blur? did you think we'd never change? did you taste the bitter rain?—

Your Love Is Lost
Your Love Is Lost Time has turned, unveiled my pain, And softly whispered its farewell refrain. A fleeting word, like autumn’s call, Drifting away—a final fall. You sold my hope, the war was fought, Between what’s real and what is not. Is loss the dream I longed to claim, Or just a shadow draped in flame? What can I do? My hope has died, It speaks of you, yet none abide. Love hears its plea, but pain replies, What choice remains, but silent cries? How can I hide what’s left unsaid, A moment shared, a path we tread? My thirst was quenched, my heart was bound, Yet all I loved is lost, unfound. Do you believe in peace and grace? Did dreams of harmony light your face? Or was your heart, so cold, so vile, A dagger forged in ruthless guile? A lie I lived, a love embraced, Yet here I stand, my fate replaced. A guiding light has set me free, From vengeance blind and agony. Oh Lord, protect me from deceit, And spare my soul from time’s defeat.

Until I Found You
Love gave me everything When I first found you We lived life together Making our dreams come true Raised up a family Became grandparents too
