Most Commented Loss / Death Poems (1,049)

Do you remember the day,
When we first met and said hello!
It was 31 Dec at 11.59pm exactly,
Before that we were strangers in the street.

What a day to remember you always,
The one and only love of my life,
Call it fate but I say it differently,
Once in a lifetime miracle for me.

I'm not so much into your past,
It's the future with you I'm thinking about,
To be by your side in sickness and health,
And share in your sorrow and joy.

Do you remember our first kiss?
Another unforgettable time of the year,
A day of celebration throughout the universe,
The day our Lord Jesus was born.

Do you remember our happiest day?
The day we became one as husband and wife,
On the day of the risen Christ,
Easter Sunday our anniversary.

Do you still remember me when you're gone?
In the night of the holy Good Friday,
You slept peacefully into the gate of heaven,
And left me here waiting until we meet again!

my heart is breaking
shattering in pieces
another year alone
how can I bear to go on
to struggle through another year
this time of year hurts so much
as your birthday draws near
eight days older I was to you
once they flew pass
now each is like a year
filled with such pain
the emptiness too much
my soul split in two
times like this
I wish it had been me
how can I go on?
how can I live
in a world without you
such pain is too much
for my soul to bear
my grief is unending
no colours any more
birds I cant hear sing
just a lake of tears
so vast and unending

We are here but a short time
yet we met and love many people
some we make mistakes with
find that they weren't real friends

yet even when things go wrong
move on taking the best with you
leave all the niggling negatives behind
all they do is mess with your mind

I have lived in several places aboard
hopefully taking the good on with me
one thing I know wherever you live
people seem to fall into various types

some become friends, real friends
the sort who stand by you all the time
who give without ever being asked
and to who you return all the help you can

most are fair weather friends, they run and hide
leaving you in the lurch time after time
they will steal your lover or husband
without batting an eye, its sad but true

as you go through the years you soon learn
you come to distrust until their worth is proved
then there's those who sweet talk you taking your heart
that's the saddest of all, still you learn to guard it

one day you meet a true love on who's shoulder
you can lay your weary heart knowing its finally safe
you share your hopes, your aspirations and dreams
make plans, set up home and raise your children

then one day, in a blink its all gone, gone not forgotten
you have all the memories of the good times you shared
the hardest of all is you are still here struggling on
the cruel hand of death has struck taking them leaving you

in a flash life has changed become just so very grey
you mourn and try to be strong hard as it is for you
there's others who still need you rely on you
but I tell you this its not easy when they pass on

She sat waiting content in her place
Eyes moving like a pendulum
Knowing soon he would enter her lair
He should of heed her words not warning
Now it would be she he face
Town folks parting to give him way
Smug he was thinking they cower to him
A man of great importance to himself
Crossing the bridge into the boggy marsh
Pudgy hands itching to make beauty lay
Smelling his aroma as he entered her lair
Lips turned up at thoughts of avenging
Tall and statuesque age only defining beauty
Tonight she would be the one sated
Avenging the one for whom she care
In a flash it was over and blood lay spilled
Eyes large no life still looking in fear
Removing her prize from greedy paws
Arm circled protecting little woman child
The beast now lay killed
Town folks going about their day
As if the night had never been
Woman sweeping porch floor clean
Aged with soften beauty
Calls little girl child from play
Night time had turned to day
And monsters are gone away

??She stands on the edge of the shore, as a new dawn breaks, on the horizon she searches.. For dreams that never came. With eyes unseeing she watches the sky, seagulls flying free and high. She stands on the edge, of madness or reason? The pink hues turn crimson, the gentle breeze gets stronger, another storm? She thinks no longer. The gentle water wraps her in a loving embrace, and the dawn turns to dusk

The ringing of the phone, so strident
Wakes me from my slumber deep
Who could it be at this hour calling
When all should be quiet and asleep

Voice so strange and yet familiar
Like an echo of so long ago
Travelling through time and space
Then it hit me like a mighty blow

This was my friend, my husband and lover
He was the one that captured my soul
Everything I had I freely gave him
Then he was gone, like down a black hole

No sign, no trace, just disappeared
For months I cried, what had I done wrong
Slowly I toughened, slowly I mended
What kills you not makes you strong

I was about to hang up, cut him off
Down the receiver I wanted to shout at him
With hatred and anger I hurled the words
‘Go on, what is this good excuse Jim?’

‘Darling I love you, throughout eternity
Nothing can ever alter this
Everyday my thoughts turn to you
Of you in my arms, your sweet kiss

Darling I know that I left you all alone
Believe me in this matter I had no choice
I know together we will be again
For that day I wait, I will rejoice

Darling I went out to buy you flowers
I just wanted to show you my love
I was cruelly robbed and murdered
Now I watch you from above

Darling tell them where to look
My body is jammed in a drain
Send them to where I’m laying
At the corner of Fourth and Maine

Darling please always remember
You were always the only one for me
I saw your pain and your suffering
Somehow I needed to set you free’

Next thing all I heard was the dial tone
And I realised my face was wet
All the things I’d done and said
I owed Jim an unpayable debt

He was where he said he would be
Found there after I told the police
At the cemetery I laid him to rest
Now we both will find some peace

I lost an old friend yesterday
I just thought id let you know
You wont hear it on the evening news
Or read it in the Echo.

Its not very important in the scheme of things
It wont knock Cowell of the cover
Its just another old flee bag
That should have known better.

I dodged the morning rat race
I stood in no mans land
My eyes were turning misty
As I held her in my hands.

All over in the blink of an eye
A final pat of the spade
The spirits free to soar and fly
I stand there in a daze.

There are no photographs of Fluffers
Nothing left to show
No monuments,no neon lights
No fanfares to blow.

She had that certain something
That is so hard to define
I know i will remember Fluffers
For a mighty long time.

As the sun danced on her Sunday coat
A thousand lights did shine
Skipping through the undergrowth
Grace and speed combined.

Even now as i look outside
Down the garden path
I think I see that little elf
With the green eyes looking back.

Well I guess ive wasted enough of your time
I suppose id better go
Its just that I lost an old friend yesterday
And I thought id let you know.

My dearest Son,
Even though I may not bare child again.
Do not grieve for the loss of Thy Brother.
He sings and plays with Angels,
On white feathered wings.
Whilst silver gray tears platter Thy cheeks,
You have this world to play with, "he says".

You will grow and make new Brothers,
In your holdings.
You shall, be ful-filled.
You will travell safely on your life journey.
Till you two meet again,
At your cross roads end.
I say.

In 1999 you went back home
You're now in Heaven & I'm here alone
Your birthday comes & goes & I cry every time
Because you're in Heaven & I'm celebrating your b-day alone

You're in a better place
This I know & understand
But whenever I need you
I miss holding your hand

I haven't done much
I don't attempt things we did
fishing hasn't been the same
Since you went to Heaven when I was a kid......I love & miss you dad

Four bowed heads said it all.

In hastily-bought suits and puffy eyelids.
Their young dreams shattered and torn.

Mid-term break fun destroyed by three words.

Olan is dead.

That can't be true, I was with him last night

Words said defiantly, but with dread in the eye.

Facebook page filled with sweet messages, tears, love.

Now in red-rimmed prayer, unbelieving yet knowing

Nineteen is just too young.
