Most Liked Loss / Death Poems (1,049)

I STILL REMEMBER

Although the years have fled
I no longer feel your touch yet
Sometimes I still think of you
and the love we felt so much

Each year when that day comes
the day they laid you to your rest
I still send flowers you can't smell
so your headstone they can dress

I wanted you to know, I will find
another love and if you're gazing down
From Heaven up above you'll see a smile
within my heart, one I know will stay

Though the years will surly pass
I'll remember you each day.

I'M LIVING WITH THIS WEIGHT UPON MY SHOULDERS
HEAVY IS THE BURDEN PLACED WITHIN MY SOUL
AND AS I GAZE INTO THE MIRROR UPON MY WALL
IT'S DARK REFLECTIONS REFLECT ALL OF MY WOE...

THIS NIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER
DESPAIR IS LINGERING ON
IT'S GROWING REALLY COLDER
WIND CHILLS CARESS MY SPINE...
AND, AS I GAZE DEEP IN THE MIRROR
A FEAR IS FLOWING THROUGH MY MIND
DWELLING WITHIN MY CONCIOUSNESS
TO SEE THE PAST VISIONS OF MY LIFE...

MY LIFE'S BLOOD IS FLOWING INTERNALLY
AS THE NIGHTMARE CLOSES ON IN
THIS MUST BE THE NEW BEGINNING
AS THE AGONY INTRUDES TO TAKE MY HAND...

THIS NIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER
DESPAIR IS LINGERING ON
IT'S GROWING REALLY COLDER
WIND CHILLS CARESS MY SPINE...
AND, AS I GAZE DEEP IN THE MIRROR
A FEAR IS FLOWING THROUGH MY MIND
DWELLING WITHIN MY CONCIOUSNESS
TO SEE THE PAST VISIONS OF MY LIFE...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN LIVE WITH THIS RAGE
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN BEAR ALL THIS ENDLESS PAIN
I TREMBLE WITHIN THE BLACKNESS FLOWING IN THE NIGHT
I TREMBLE BENEATH THIS FEAR, IN THE SHADOWS I HOLD THE KNIFE...

I'M APPROACHING AN UNHOLY SHRINE
AN ALTER OF ANCIENT SACRIFICE
DEEP WITHIN THE BOWELS OF THE MIND
ARE THE ILLUSIONS THAT SURELY UNWIND...
THEY AWAIT TO BE RELEASED
FROM THE DARK DEPTHS OF MY SOUL
FOR, THE FINAL HOURS ARE AT HAND
AS THE BLOODY DEMONS TAKE CONTROL...

"WE WANT YOUR SOUL, YOU'RE BOUND TO US
THAT'S OUR GOAL, YOUR BLOOD WE LUST
THROUGH THE DARKNESS YOU WILL SEE
HELL'S DOMAIN, OUR BURNING REALITY..."

HELL IS THE BURNING PLACE
AND I HAD OPENED UP IT'S DOORS
DEMONS THEN PROCEED ON THROUGH
NOW TRUE EVIL BECOMES FOREVERMORE...

I'M BURNING FREE WITH FLOWING HATE
TO BE ONE OF THEM
JOINING THEM TO BURN WITHIN
DWELLING IN AN UNHOLY LAND...
A PATHWAY TO ALL MADNESS
A GATEWAY THROUGH ALL SADNESS
MY LIFE AWAITS TO DIE IN VAIN
NOW, THE CHAOS ALL BEGINS...

I STAB MYSELF, I FALL TO DIE
BLOOD FLOWS FREE, MY SUICIDE
I GAZE THROUGH THE ENDLESS WOE
AS I SEE THEM THERE TO CATCH MY SOUL...

AS I STARE INTO THE NOTHINGNESS
THROUGH A BLACKNESS BATHING ME IN BLOOD
I LAY DOWN IN A STILL, CRIMSON POOL
FEELING THE BREADTH OF THOSE WHO COME...

You're Not With Me

Today I took a walk along the
paths we used to take
Tonight loving thoughts of you
will keep me wide awake

I go into our silent room
thinking you'll be there
The bed is made, the room is dark
my sadness I can't bear

Why did God take you away
to leave me all alone
Loving you and missing you
chills me to the bone

Ich schaue in den Himmel über und Ich weine
Insofern möchte Ich versuchen
Meine Lieben nicht wieder zu mir
Das ist das Fazit dieses Leben, das Ich sehen
All mein Schmerz war mehr, als Ich ertragen konnte
Und es dauerte eine lange Zeit für meine Angst
Nachzulassen - und in dem Moment, Ich wusste,
Es gab wirklich nichts mehr für mich zu bereuen
Da Gott oben war es so verordnet
Der Ort, wo die Toten zu tun gehen
Vor allem auf der Erde, dass wir vergleichen können
Paradies in der Tat ist so schön und fair
Obwohl von den Ich liebe, Ich bin auseinander
Sie sind nicht in meinem Herzen vergessen.


I look to heaven above and I cry
Inasmuch as I would like to try
My loved ones will not return to me
That is the verdict of this life I see
All my grief was more than I could bear
And it took a long time for my fear
To subside - and in the moment I knew
There was truly nothing left for me to rue
Since God above had decreed it so
The place where the dead do go
Is above all on earth that we can compare
Paradise indeed is so beautiful and fair
Even though from those I love I am apart
They are not forgotten in my heart.

Like a wind crying endlessly through the universe, time carries away the deeds of conquered and commoners alike, all that we are, all that we were, are the memories of those who cared we came their way for a brief moment.

You cannot see me,
As I'm a shadow of your past,
My life ending was meant to be,
Nothing ever lasts.
I've been with you since the day I died,
Making sure no harm comes your way,
I've always been right by your side,
At night, beside you I lay.
Until we can be together again,
My spirit lives on in your heart,
And when God's angels call your name,
No longer shall we be apart.

i weeped ageless
in the night street

grabbed by branches
bare winter's feast

ice stiff birches
exploded upwardly

why are those people here in
my mom's living room,
don't they know she'll be
home soon.
why is my mom and sisters
sitting around crying,
it's like someone is dead or
dying.
wait that's a picture of me
in her lap,
ugh that picture makes me look
like crap.
my boyfriends here and he's crying
too,
that's weird,everyone's here at a
quarter of two.
the door opens and i see a bright
light,
and my grandmothers' here,saying it's
going to be alright.
but grandma,you died such a long,long
time ago,
then she smiled and said you're dead
too or didn't you know.
as i took a hold of my grandmas'
hand,
i said goodbye to my family and
my man.
for me there would be no more
hours,seconds,or minutes,
for i had ran out of time.

Daffodils and sunflowers
lie like broken lanterns-
shattered in the moonlight.
Beside them the willows weep
swaying somberly
beneath the stars.

Within the whispered winds of night and the silver dripped tongues of leaves.

Within the solemn boughs of weathered willows

and the twisted toils of twilight's illuminated troves.

Beneath the purple shrouded moon, within the shadowed groves,

I see her glow within the starry sky.

Beneath the icy, luminary stares, the trellised branches in despair,

the gilded tears of dew that drench my dreams,

I lie, within the broken lanterns of the daffodils.

Within the laurels of the bay,

within the crimson roses, tangerines and cherries ripe;

the rapture in the moonlight passes by.

Forever, she shall glow within the starry sky.
