Most Liked Loss / Death Poems (1,049)

The Day will come and I make
My way to the exit.
And leave World behind.
The earth rotates from West to East.
Our love like poetry and music.
Manzanilla eyes look at me.
The Day will come and I make
My way to the exit.
As I near the end
I've told you a few secrets.
So when the Day and hour comes
I will take a bow. And
Make my way to the exit

Old River ran red before the days of the Civil War
At the command of Forrest, sounds of firecrackers
were heard in the air
Attack! Attack!
Bang, Bang, Bang
White flags held high
As brave soldiers died
Falling to the ground
Near the bluff at Fort Pillow
Old River ran red
Still much to be said
In ages to come
Never to be forgotten
Of all those great souls lost in
Old River ran red

Mid-life crisis moved him into seclusion.
Took his creativity with him
and came up with his own solutions.

The king was in the kitchen
making bread and honey.
The queen was in the office
counting all the money.

Two hearts burning toward the sun
evolving with every breath;
etching the sky, becoming one.

“Every man has a woman who loves him
rain or shine, life or death.
If he finds her in this lifetime
he will know when he presses
his ear to her breast.”

Haunting, daunting.. perhaps merely a dream..
A myriad of not so quite silent screams..
The essense of evil.. as blasphemy coated it's ugly self
like putrid cursed words on a profanely painted shelf..
Sarcasm slithered like vile snakes on the ground..
Forked tongue,pointed directly at all who abound..
The escape route is closely guarded
No chance you will win..
Abandon all hope,
All ye that enter in.

dancing, talking, laughing, walking, I feel like Im on water,
but your teasing, leading, treating what i believing similar to a slaughter

my kissed you every night you love pushed me away
i thought that we had it right then you got nothing to say

and then I thought oh no, this must be the worst
has all of my love forever,, always been cursed
i tried tell you straight but im not to well versed
oh well the reaper has again, got to me first

trusting, dreaming, dancing, seemingly everything deserves a chance
must i always be so dreamily trying to grasp some lost romance

But one day comes, like the last one leaves
everyday, I have been decieved
all of the promises, I'm led to believe
and many days, nothing has been achieved

And then I thought oh no, this must be the worst
has all of my love forever, always ever been cursed
I tried to tell my words, but I'm not too well versed
it seems the reaper will get to me once again first

Dear Jessica what happened to us you and me we were best friends growing up but the world was tough we were young and dumb never thought nothing could tear us apart and then I was the first boy to break your heart I moved on to the next girl without a second thought Dear Jessica I’m writing you this letter but I don’t know where to start I know it was all my fault but I hope we could just sit down and talk It’s been a couple years since I’ve spoken to you its hurts me to see you so broken all these guys coming and going taking a piece of your heart as a token Dear Jessica I saw the cuts on your arms I know you must be hurting but you just need someone to tell you your perfect the way you are I wanna hold you close and heal your scars but I just keep watching from afar Dear Jessica lately these feelings have been swelling up I want to tell u how I feel but you look like you’ve had enough for you life’s been nothing but tough you’ve lost your luck and you stopped looking up with your head to the ground you suffer alone without making a sound Dear Jessica I saw your name in the paper and I thought if only I would’ve saved her you jumped from a ledge and hit your head on the edge of the pavement if life had a price I guess you missed a payment I’m left with so many feelings I still don’t know what they all meant all I know is your gone and I never got to say goodbye so I’ll write a letter and it’ll start with Dear Jessica.

how can you put a price on flesh
so sick i dont know what to do next
my mind wont let me rest
corruption and greed put me to the test
life as we know it is going avast
destruction and death come at last
possesitions are of the past
our society will never last
water scarse no food
puts humanity in a bad mood
fight to live only the strong survive
breathing dosent mean your alive
learning cpr..teaching to revive
another casuilty of fatality
leaves nothing but mortality
no exaturation this eternal eraducation
turns the world into its first creation

I asked the moon
And the sun knows it not
I showed her my burns
And the moon mocked me
And as the sky did not look right
And I wasn't getting better
I thought how unfortunate
And the moon mocked me

I asked the moon
If she still wanted me
She said
"I'm not used to care for cases like that"
And you and I
We were once so sure
And we did say a few times
It was just an adventure
And it would not last

I don't have anything to tell you
And not much to make you laugh
For I always expect the worst
And the best makes me suffer

I asked the moon
If she still wanted me
She said
"I'm not used to care for cases like that"
And you and I
We were once so sure
And we said a few times
It was just an adventure
And that it would not last

Hurricanes and tornados whirling.
Don't know which way turning.

Searching, trying to find.
Hiding, can't unwind.

State of confusion and lost.
Nowhere, but life does cost.

Drifting by the edge of life.
Holding on with all strife.

Disillusioned by it all.
Make silence, peace will call.

Serenity of clouds unbroken.
Paridise of words unspoken.

dark rotton to the core
love winter forever more
trains crash and crash
fire burns and burns
people scream and scream
children hurt and hurt
fire engions wail and wail
in the distance...
