Last Commented Loss / Death Poems (1,049)

Tragic endings pile upon beautiful sunsets,
Casting a gold glow over death,
and cooking rancid corpses,
while sending the proof of their demise into the breeze burdened day.
Everything horrible was once wonderful,
and has lost its once contained innocence,
by the mocking clicks of the clocks flailing limbs.
It hogs time.
Time stands only on tongues thrashing its own praise.
Though it does not speak of the deceiving nature time can apply in devastating predicaments.
Answers locked by time,
In a tomb of truth
The truth that steals a mans trust,
from things unable to be seen with his own seeking eyes.
The body's that carry piece behind their discovery lay lifeless,
until their found discarded.
Then they live in souls.
Souls that broke as they had lost them.
Souls broken by other souls,
and their victims lay poorly represented by their cold etched in stones.

Until later son we part ways, though understanding isn't there
And although you're in a better place, I still wish you were here
I didn't hear you cry or feed you, or see you grow to say my name
No eyes to gaze deep into. No bumps, no cuts, no bandaids

Until later son I've wondered, who you'd look more like in time.
To me you'll always be beautiful, but I still don't know how to say goodbye
No easy words to comfort this empty heart. Just shattered dreams, so much confusion.
Needing laughter and joy, one smile. Oh I wish my heart could beat just once for you.

Until later son be pleased to know, you're not forgotten, only missed
And I'm sure it pains you to see me cry. But please, for me, perk up those tiny lips
This journey brings pain and loneliness, but also brings me joy
So now I step up saying until later son. But soon a hello to my beautiful boy

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

You gave love like candy to a child,
and dragged laughter from my belly.
Your voice filled my thoughts and mind,
leaving no space in the between times.

I wonder,at the complete invasion!
to death-like quiet..and..
our all or nothing view of love.
I breathe deeply of the silence.

If I fight to understand,
I'll watch it fly out of reach.
Associating things with you,
that pull at my heart.

I breathe deeply of the silence,
and like an old familiar quilt,
drawn close on a cold winter night,
let the peace settle over me.

guess you got your own back,
saw it coming plain as day,
didn't want to hurt you
just watching you walk away,
hope you find what your looking for,
In god you lay your trust,
nothing more for me to say,
there is only!! me not us,
wasn't your fault
was me that just got scared,
hope you find the one you want,
I'm trully outta there !!

--After--

I need you
to force me to do things
I don't want to do.
Because I can't bear it
when you touch me with gentle hands.
I need more,
because I can't stand
the idea that maybe
I'm really in love.
Hate me and
break me,
again, again
because I don't want this
to be slow or sweet
because I don't want to be thinking about you
after you leave me.

"I miss you my friend, you left us so suddenly, leaving lives empty, a void you have left, memories recalling, but with sadness and sullenly"

"I miss your 4am wakening thuds at my door, 'what are you doing asleep, there is so much more to do!'..you would roar"

"You were best man at my wedding, that's how close we were..always joking and laughing, mayhem you would cause, a mischief maker and prankster, you caused quite a stir"

"Remember when we were in Cyprus, we roamed the market stalls where live stock were sold, you would unlock the chicken pens which caused a riot, so funny and so bold"

"I am writng this for you as your friend, in memory and anniversary, you are in my thoughts, your friends and family remember you..no adversary's"

"I wish you were still here, close and among us..but I'm sure your in a better place watching over and above us"

"I have a tight hug waiting for you, a bonded handshake which is long overdue.....Until that day comes my friend I'll remember you strongly, with a mixture of joy and sadness, family and friends will raise a glass or two and celebrate your life, remembering you fondly"

Once again today angel tears came our way

Because kids at play mistakenly got in a wars way

And children had to die

Angels started to cry and women wondered why

So many tears fill so many mother’s eyes.

Once again today angel tears came our way

Because kids found a way under friendly fire spray

And children had to die

Angels let their tears fall and cried for one and all

Just because so few ever hear compassion's call.

Once again today angel tears came our way

Because men were afraid and with a life differences are paid

And children had to die

Angels cried alone and children won’t be coming home

Only more dust comes from skin and bone.

Gray clouds on blue sky
War traumas never do heal
The sun always shines.

Three years ago I lost both of you and I was lost;
bereft of love, bereft of life, bereft of reason for living.
The road has been hard and my feet dragged at every step.
My husband, my son if only I could have gone too,
so many times I wanted to join both of you.
I was made an orphan in one foul swoop.
I had forsaken God, but boy did I curse at him
the names I called him you could not print.
But now the anniversary looms as they all do
and I am well and still loving both of you.

I miss you my son, we were such good mates
and what fun we had on my trips to Thailand.
Lumpini Park where you taught me to count
and the British Club where you still got a ton
just like back home when you were young.
I'll never know why you were chosen to depart
but I know you'll always be in my heart.

My dearest husband you were the sweetest of all
and our years together will always be in my memory.
We were meant to meet, you brought me such joy
and made me feel so wanted, my beautiful toyboy.
22 years of wedded bliss it was hard to say goodbye
then came the news, our son had suddenly died.
Four days later you left me to be by his side.

My grief was overwhelming I didn't want to stay
I became a recluse, I locked myself away.
For 2 years I angered and cried and cried
I could see no sense as hard as I tried.
I was in darkness my tunnel had no light;
then I saw a glimmer, I had left no fight.
By gentle persuasion back to life I was lead
he'd been there, he knew what had to be said.
So here I am, a new chapter I am about to start
I just wanted you to know you're still in my heart.
