Last Commented Loss / Death Poems (1,049)

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

There was a strong metallic smell
it came from the bodies scattered
pools of dark blood glistened
murder and mayhem all around

pillage, rioting and rape
had left a village smoking
lying in its own ruins
a manky cur sniffed around

where was it that this came to pass?
try any war zone in any land
look around you then look again
this is what happens time again

for what? so rich men can line
their pockets at others expense
sitting safe far away taking tea
not knowing or even caring

that families all wiped out
in a matter of hours not days
all for a bit of land or gold
how can the human heart survive

that most tender of organs
take in and accept such carnage
yet lay with a loved one making love
tenderly kissing a crying child

what terrible things we do
the atrocities committed
yet most people are kind
reaching out a helping hand

what is to become of us
if we continue this way
when will man be happy?
when all is destroyed?

Is it wrong to love her?
If it is then lift me to
my feet
Write a note to her and
say, 'You left him on his
knees and broken in spirit..
You left him..
Where does he go now?
What is he suppose to do?
Where is mercy?'

Where did you go my Darling One?
I would like to know that answer
Your eyes so bright, they dimmed
As your breath just slowly faded

What happens to those times we shared?
Do you somehow keep those memories
The love and joy, our life together
I’d like to think it’s remembered somewhere

You’re so cold, yet your hand I’ll still hold
I cannot bring myself to surrender
For if I let you finally go
Then I know forever I have lost you

Where did you go my Darling One?
I would like to know that answer
For if I could I’d follow you there
And for eternity we’d be together

for some grief lightly brushes by
a person they didn't really know
within a few months totally forgotten
these are the lucky ones
for most, grief is a devastating thing
so many things to remind you about them
time really doesn't exist, just the loss
and the heart-wrenching pain
some days easier to leave behind
the next bringing you to your knees
all it can take is a chance word
an action, even a line in a book
and crash it all floods back in
so people try to remember
just because your life has moved on
for others try though they will
it has not, it is still fresh, bitter
and so devastately still in their face
so pause when you see them cry
give what little comfort you can
just remember one day sadly it may be you
who will have this loss and pain to bear

Walking on the sand...visions return like a lost ol' friend,
Let the sun bake me. Watch the dolphins play.
Another day missing you. Why do I stay?

Feeling the waves...visions return of younger, better days.
Let the sun bake me, Hear the laughter of kids.
Another day without you, and the things we did.

Hearing the surf...visions return. I know their worth.
Let the sun bake me. The seagulls scream.
Another day kissing you, in only a dream.

Seeing the blue...visions fill me. My wife is you.
Let the sun bake me. Rip carry me away.
No more days without you. Water lead my way.

My best friend for years only good times I remember
With a sense of humor that would make the hardest surrender
But some time ago we lost touch with each other
He fell in a hole where his charisma would slumber
From time to time he would call me for help
He would speak of his pain and all of his hell
I would listen for hours and try to give him advice
He would pray for the best but lose to his device
He would snort it or shoot it or smoke it if he could
I took him to rehab but this fight we did loose
This time he must of felt hopeless and faded from what was left of his light
Today he silenced his struggle and took his own life
I lay here thinking why didn't he call me did I fail as a friend
The last time that I saw him replays over and over again
Way back in high school his future was bright
Now just a memory lost to the night
George you'll be missed but right now I'm so angry with you
There could of been a better tomorrow this was the wrong path to choose.

Bombs explode spring air
Pellets break skin, sever lives
elusive peace, come.

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

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
