Most Commented Loss / Death Poems (1,049)

Many years ago when I was a child,
I had a special friend with whom I played,
Together much mischief, we was really wild,
Over the years our friendship never frayed,

When teenagers we went our separate ways,
Contact was rare and very slim,
No letters or phone calls between the days,
Yet when we met it was like a new begin,

Each told to one another our secret wishes,
How we missed those carefree plays,
Ill with cancer he laughed, no more dishes,
Now death is the parting of our ways,

No longer able to see that mans smile,
To hear that chuckling or see you grin,
Yet we knew for the other we would go the extra mile,
So I will see you one day, at the gates we can have another begin.

I watch the fire burn, he the flame all aglow,
Yet I still sit and wonder cause
I really need to know,
Are they coming back"?
The words paw the air.
And I just sit and wonder
While the flame burns the air.
I think of times past
And things we all enjoyed
The laughter and the love
What we did to fill the void.
We listened to the timber wolf
His crying,lonely howl.
And listened to the mice
As they ran,evading Owl.
I think of all of you
And this is what I know
If I see you again
I'll never let you go!

Come >
My Little Raindrops
Seep Into The Ground
Wash My Bones Clean
Wash Them All-Around

There's one thing that brings
Wee
The people to there.

Opinionate thought
Of the critic
In you?

A bill that's been passed
Was it during your watch?

Rights that were bound
Constitutionally?

Thugs in the life
That we want to call ours?

~

I shut off my world for a moment of time
To the one I'd imagined all of my life.

~

The one thing that brought
Wee the people
.....
To our now.

How fitting's that finger
While flagged, is in point
Societies tattoo
Uncle Sam "He" want's you!

Where ever your parallel
An longitude's at!

Channels pre-selected, securely for you
Smudge from the papers
Arbitrational script......

House of congress
A stacking of cards!

Debits and credits
Measured to check!

~

I shut off my world for that moment of time
..........

~

It's a crying shame
We allowed
Limited choice
There's no one to blame but today and it's roots!

Giving you a choice
To make you believe
You've a say in the way
Of the plans you don't make!

That consist of the one's
Written On the card's, by the listings above!

We never have pushed
For that elusive new box
Marked, none of the ones
Penciled!!!!!above.

Check mark or x
Putting eyes on the land
Tilting the scale
Unfavorably!

I'll pause the world so I can find you
Wishing becomes recipe for my heart aches
Day dreaming of the times that where simple
So young and promising. .I only have now well
Pretty much nothing..I drink to hide my guilt
for you was once a precious flower..The smell
Of promise. ..I said I'll never leave you
Since when did the words become weak like the
economy

it was a late night, cigar smoke was floating in the air
looking like small red traffic lights once we inhaled
plastic cups of crown royal standing tall next to my main man
having good convo talking about peace in ones land
our watches shined bright like stars when the moon light was trapped
soon a speeding car with bright lights to blind us open fire
running to my car for cover I fired three shots back
the car raced away...Kris I yelled thinking he was behind cover but I saw him rolling on the ground trying to catch his breath running to him I helped him into my ride, in my seat he begin to slide...
no,no,no, stay up son I need you ...slapping his face to keep him up
I saw he was sweating and spitting blood from his mouth, Kris please
stay up bro..I said while speeding through red lights.. he answered
its ok jay its cool I feel numb he struggled talking, then just stared
a blank stare, right then I knew he wasn't there

love you always my brother part of me died too

Do not worry of pain you have not suffered, be of mournful mind for those who have suffered that which you have not, as they are the lesson that should have been learned, If a time does come no need for worry, as it is not the pain of flesh but that of soul and what is left undone

Sitting at this bar on another dismal day.
Hoping this drink drowns my dismay.
Gulp! Gulp! Glass empty, yet another joy has gone away.
Excuse bar keep send another one my way.

Nothing seems to fill this void in my heart?
Remedy, alcohol you just have to learn art.
For a long time now my world is dark.
I need a smoke, lighter spark, spark!

No puff, deep drags, hesitant exhale as it burns slow.
I envy this cigarette’s faint glow.
Why I can’t I be floating effortlessly like the smoke I blow?
Never soaring high always stranded in depths so low.

Engaged to misery, she is the girl I’ll be marrying.
Like atlas a world of sorrow I’m carrying
I buried the optimist and I gave up on hoping.
I’ll meet my end of days coping.

on carpet of wight smoke
innocence broke
and shadows of war drew tight the cloak
painting faces with death and flame
for the evil of nations gain

Where were you
When I needed love
Left castaway
On rocky shores
Shipwrecked hope
On barren slopes
Too tired to climb
Too cold to care

Where were you
On troubled paths
When fear became
In my way
Splendid colors
Mottled grey
My living soul
Turned into clay

Where were you
A child's bride
When life became
A thorn in my side
And in shame
Just want to die
Drowning in a
Drunkard's cry

Where were you
Away from me
When all was lost
My feelings shook
Like a ship be tossed
Round a violent sea
Less a life be cost
No one left to bail

Where were you
When one last shout
With one more cough
Now forever gone
A flame gone out
Even a sunrise
On a summer day
Would never doubt
What I say
