Most Commented Loss / Death Poems (1,049)

I have tried to be
What is expected of me
Now I have no energy
To be a part of society

I looked for my lover
Inside my dreams
Under the covers
And in everything

But there was no one there

I have no reason to try
I don't want to awake to open my eyes
I have no tears left to cry
I'm not even sad to say goodbye

I looked to be happy
And nothing else
I looked out
And within myself

But there was no one there

Nothing now can help
It's been too long
Since I talked to myself
Or to anyone

When my blood began to drain
I thought my thoughts would become clear
And as I forgot my own name
I looked in the mirror

But there was no one there

No matter how hard I try these days, things do not add up
I have convinced myself that being single is good yet;
all I want is your arms wrapped around me.
to feel the warmth of your embrace
To feel the heat of your breath on my neck
The caress of your tongue against mine.
I miss the way you stroke my hair
The way you would wake me with the sweetest kisses.
Why did you have to leave me now?
We promised forever now all I have is time alone.
You were called to duty 3 years ago and I bid you farewell
All I see through the tears is you walking to the plane.
You promised me you would be back
You said you would never leave me alone
I feel like I need to wake up
This can’t be happening
This has to be an awful dream you can’t be gone
I can’t do this alone
I need you with me
How will I ever find another when all I want is you
Please don’t be gone now
Please come back to me

Read me
I am your liar
Feed me
I am tired
The time for love
and happiness has passed
Pain and suffering
shall forever last

~Never Forgotten~

Yesterday has been and gone,
With the exception of fragment traces you have left behind,
Yet with each dawn your memory seeps the new day upon me.

Your laughter like the sun warms me,
Your voice a beautiful melody that sooth's me,
Your touch,although out of reach,is felt in my surroundings,
Your tears are my tears and often stain my cheeks.

I know God took you home to rest,and that your doing finer then best,
That gives me peace,everlasting like the memory of your life,
Thats forever branded my soul,my heart,and my life,that forever is a part of your life,
Never forgotten!
I LOVE YOU MUM!

He was a dreamer,
who dreamt of taking off one day.
He longed for love,
but he just got his heart crushed!
He was his own saviour,
He was his own rival.
He loved to trust,
but he bled well for that!
He walked his own road sweet nd comforting,
as it was felt by him and none other!

He had desires,wants and visions..
Which all needed fulfillment..
But every time he reached for the stars above,
He always stumbled far back to the earth!
He was not like any other,
he was unique and beyond logical reasoning!
He dreamed and desired things not of this world!
Not of man--not of god!
His tears were shared alone,
And his second face was the one the world saw of him!
Like the phoenix he was never seen to shed a tear!
But only the earth would know,
The cold pearls that fell from heaven above..
He tried to live his dream,but fell short!
He finally lay down to rest,
For another earthly sleep, awaiting yet another tomorrow.

And for when he awoke,
He could fly!
Far beyond the sunset,
Far beyond the misery,
He was invincible!Truly!
He couldn't be broken any more,
For he was sewed together,
With divine ropes which were bound from EREBUS!
All his dreams became his reality,
All his crazy disillusions were no more,
Because he was living it all with the fullness of his heart!
And finally he found out,
In his heart and soul,
that he would be appreciated...
Even if it was an invisible applause ..........he heard far away!

GONE FOREVER ARE THE MEMORIES OF HAPPINESS,
GONE FOREVER IS THE ONE I LOVED!!!
FAR AWAY,
GONE TO A PLACE I CAN'T REACH HER.....

I CRY OUT FOR HER TOUCH OR WHISPER,
BUT,NOTHING HAPPEN'S,
ALL THAT HAPPEN'S IS,THAT I FEEL A COOL BREEZE ACROSS MY FACE...
IS SHE REALLY GONE TO A PLACE BEYOND THE SUN SET,
WHERE MY WORD'S CAN'T REACH HER,
THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING....
FINALLY COME TO REALISE THAT ,
I CANNOT EXPECT A REPLY,
FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE.........

THE SWEET ROSE,
WHO USED TO MAKE EVERY DAY FRAGRANT,
WILL NEVER SPREAD HAPPINESS EVER AGAIN.....
LIKE EVERY THING HAS TO PASS ON,
SHE ALSO DID,BUT WAY IN ADVANCE,
ALMOST TOO SOON
FOR OUR LIKING!!!

NOW ALL THAT REMAIN'S
IS NOTHING BUT THE PICTURES HANGING ON A FAR WALL....
ALL WE CAN DO NOW IS TO LOOK AND IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT LOSS,
A LIFE FILLED WITH HAPPINESS,
A LIFE WITHOUT ANY TURMOIL OR SORROW...

BUT LET US NOT FRET,
CAUSE SHE HAS GONE TO A PLACE FAR BEYOND,
WHERE SHE WILL NEVER FEEL PAIN,
SHE WILL BE HAPPY IM SURE!!!

SO I ARRIVE AT THIS CONCLUSION,
LET ME GO ON ,TILL IT IS TIME TO MEET HER AGAIN,
IN THE LAND BEYOND THE SUNRISE.............

This crying won't dry soon son
Though my eyes may hurt from time to time
For the fear of loneliness, no laughter, no joy
Caused by no sound of my child's cry
Feelings going through my fingertips
A minds fullness of memories flying by
But even through the longings of holding you
There's never a goodbye
Never needing or wanting more to hold you so near
Or for the tender touch, letting you know that I'm there
The fear when you fall or stumble so hard
Though I knew why you were cold, wanting to make you warm
My heart beats for two now son
Me and you, we're always together
I dream of you as I pray for you
For our parting will never be forever

We all grieve for our departed souls. The heart's pains runs so deep. We could only imagine, your pain at your own loss. Our pains are unique to us. Yet the pain of the human soul, has transcended though us all. So we all connect in a special way. Our loss we all bear individually. In my case it's my mother. Mom i wish u were still here!

My husband was a wonderful man and a good
provider and father. He was smart, handsome,
and loving and kind. He was a gentle man who
never raised his voice.He was my best friend,
my lover.... he was a little league coach, both
for our son and daughter. He was a cubmaster.
he knew the answers to so many trivia things,
and financial things too.

Then one day I dont know when exactly this
silent killer called Dementia started finding
a home in his brain. So quietly and slowley
it was killing his brain sells.

He started forgetting small things, spelling
things wrong etc. As his disease progressed
he became less and less aware of the things
going on around him. he could no longer balance
the checkbook, he could not write well.Slowley
so slowley, I was loosing him.

The biggest arguement we ever had was when
i took his car keys away, and wouldnt let
him drive. he was sure he could. He started
calling us by different names. As hard as i
tried I couldnt help him.

There he was standing big and tall,and
he could hardley remember at all.
My husband of 50 years was gone.....
This insedious desease called Dementia
took my love from me.........

In Memory of My Loving Husband,
Arnold N Milner
July 7, 1936 to December 28, 2006

May you rest in peace my love.........
I will always love you.......
you were my love, my life and I
was so proud to be your wife......

Grey and dread or Grey and Read
Doubtful times, I'll stay in bed
Grey passive cobwebbed mind
Stay transfixed in one's own time
Bridled grief and subdued sorrow
Works unspoken until tomorrow
Words of affection left to mellow
Now are lost on this deathly fellow
Chronicles of memories future's fade
Dogged thoughts of grief pervade
Cataclysmic erruptions of heart and soul
One can't cry out, perhaps exact the toll
Hours spent on sympathetic jestures
"Take you scarf and gloves and sit here sir!"
Fragrant flowers in the meadows
Bury him deep beside the willows
Eulogized with gracious words of wit
But still the hollow empty body sits
Still in shock the angry mind silently rages
Your life has changed, just turn the pages.
