Most Commented Loss / Death Poems (1,049)

Both good and bad die
in winter of discontent.
Casualty, peace.

I sleep some and then I wake.
Wake is asking and questioning.
Shall I go or laugh at the questions?
The feeling with the question or the feeling
that keeps me here!
I do not dream, I only feel.
There is no color or faces, it is just the feeling.
I have not felt the color!
Why does the color disipate with time?

Its all in what I haven't said
the words I really meant
dreams I've never told you about
passions I've never shown
kisses that never made it to you
heart beats never pressed against your chest
my feelings left in actions never shown
whispers still unheard
smiles that never touched these lips
and glances that missed their mark

I sit here as the tears stream down my face
In two weeks our baby girl will take on a husband
You won’t be here
I know you will be watching with pride
why did you have to go and die
Our daughter will dance with our son
Our son will be the one to give her away
Oh how my head does sway

On this special
You will be on our minds
And in our hearts .
I will wear my my wedding ring on our daughters wedding day
So that I may feel close to you.
When I close my eyes tightly
I can see you dancing with our daughter
On her wedding day.

You are greatly loved
And greatly missed .

MY SOUL

My soul is weighed down in sorrow
For my loved one is not here for tomorrow
The days and nights blend together
In darkness the weight of a ton of feathers

Oh my soul cries a river of tears
And my heart quivers with fear
Of all the tomorrows to be alone
Facing the future and the unknown

O’ Lord please help me understand I pray
As to why my loved one was taken away
My soul wants to find peace from my sorrow
So that I may be able to face tomorrow

Please give me the strength to carry on
The courage to do what needs to be done
Please help me to accept your will
To know your Holy Spirit and to be filled

Open my eyes so that I might see
And feel your unconditional love for me
And that I might know when my journey is done
I will forever be in your arms and of Jesus - your Son

An old house with lots of history, stained glass and fireplace
Wooden floors, pressed ceilings, bay windows and a lot of space
This charming home was never mine the others were lost too
It’s never long enough to put down roots before I need to move

A slender dog with big brown loving eyes, my grey Jinxy cat
My Coco and Nicademus, gone! Isn’t it funny that?
I can never keep them long enough to show how much I care
I’ve missed these lovely creatures, It’s hardly even fair

My two children, boy and girl, my two bright shining stars
I couldn’t keep you in my house; I will always bare the scars
I wanted your true happiness more than life itself
I left you with my relatives for your stability and health

My friends and my ex-lovers, you meant so much to me
If it didn’t work out, then I guess; it was not meant to be
I’ve hurt to leave each one of you, It’s hard to just move on
Disappointments are inevitable, you just weren’t the one

For all the things I’ve lost in life and all the things I’ll lose
They are only borrowed to me for a time, even when I choose
To keep something forever, or fall in love again
I’ll savor every moment, ‘cause I just don’t know when;
It could all fall apart, or be snatched away from me
The only constant thing is change, time is only motion,
To keep true love and happiness; there is no magic potion!

They say time is a great healer
But nothing can heal the pain
In your heart
When it's ripping apart

As each new morning
Awakens from the darkness of night
into another
pain filled day without her

You miss her
Sweet smile
And beautiful face

You miss her special soul
The void she left
No one
can ever
fill

How can you go on
You may wonder

But you will survive
You will get through it

You will remember her
With love
Each day
once a battle
And the memories will become
fonder
And bittersweet

in time
the pain will slowly
Ease

As life
Silently goes
on

Your memories will always remain

they say time is a great healer

you wore the mask of love
planting your bomb
like your seed of destruction
disguised as love
like a leper piece by piece
in the shadows of love
raped by the vile deed
in memory of my broken heart
you placed your timer
killed by love
transending lust
your s*xual desire
my heart breaking
opening the veil
my eyes darkened by lack of sleep
my soul restless
blood shot eyes as my soul weeps
full of pain and anguish
deep in my being
my world destruction
ashen white with the colour of hurt
dying my eyes look
ash white sick to the stomach
you planted your bomb
blowing my mind all over the place
my heart and soul rejected
saved by the life and soul
my spirit a wolf
on a mountain top
head raised towards a full moon
howls to the heavens in pain
in the shadow of the wolf
pitter,patter
on the ground raindrops falling
like teardrops from my soul
my heart hurted severly
a victim of love
blown apart with this feeling
my spirit cries for justice
as karma calls

To Daddy

Daddy – sorry not to see you before I passed away
Mummy was so hoping that you’d come up and stay.
We waited nearly for a year – but you did not arrive
I did so want a visit while I was still alive.

Oskar feels the difference – now I am not around.
We loved each other’s company; when Mum worked we found
A partnership together – and now he’s all alone.
He offers her some comfort, their sadness to condone.

Before I died she cut some hair – a keepsake to review.
She had it made into a pendant, “A gift from you”
She called it – and now its come it is a part
Of me forever. She wears it near her heart.

We were a family, once, she said, the four of us, so close.
I’ll never know what happened – why you became morose…
I loved you still, no matter what – I know you loved me too
Now here’s my hair that Mummy cut. She gives the rest to you.

From Chloe with love

Thanks for your time and your comments...all the best!
