Most Commented Sadness Poems (1,688)

Indian spirit that roams the hills of fate

Ghost of past, that roams the sky

Mighty warrior, stronger than I

Fights the winds of the air

Earthly spirits everywhere

Is there no place left to go

Lost in space in the air

Sailed the water of despair

Walked on fire till it burnt

Traveled lonely paths upon this earth

Can peaceful hunting grounds be found

Dismal Spirits of the mind

When will they be unbound

Do I forever roam this earth alone?

Disillusioned for a ghostly mate

I sleep by one’s self alone, upon the ground!

Poet, Tormented Roaming the lonely hills of my empty mind

I'm in a crowd of hundreds
yet I feel so alone
I watch as others walk hand in hand
Inwardly, I let out a moan

In the quiet and still of the night
as I lie in my big empty bed
thoughts of loneliness
race rampant in my head

Hugging my pillow
tears silently fall
the heartache inside me
makes me feel so small

That in this great big world
there's no one for me
to love and to cherish
to help set me free

She look into his eyes and knew he hurt, by the way he held his head away from crowd...
She saw someone approach him and the smile was there, as if by magic it appeared...

She knew everyone thought all was well, when in reality he was living in hell...
He stretched out his hand to take a drink, and standing so close her eyes on the glass she saw his fingers clink...

It hurt her heart, She felt his pain...
Knowing what it feels like to love someone, who may never feel the same...

What a wreck of a week
If only I hadn’t taken a peek
The ground beneath me feet
Noting but sleet
You sniffed me around
like a hound
following me around
I tried to run
You knocked me down
dragged me through the mud
Twisted me around
looked me in the eye
Said today you won’t die
you wanted my soul
I never felt so cold
I would never give my soul to you
Truth be told
You’re nothing but
A dirty old troll

All she wanted was to feel loved
Mother didn't want her
Wouldn't give her up
Nothing she could do was ever good enough
No matter how hard she tried
She was made to cry
She always tried to please
Only to be teased
She began to act tough
Only made life rough
Her self esteem was poor
She was always being called a whore
If only they knew
She had never been kissed
She became a mother
She fed her children with lots of love,hugs and kisses
Mother didn't break her
She cause her to set a goal
To love her children more then life itself
This little girl with a great big soul

HE NEVER SLEEPS , AND IS TOTALING UP YOUR CRIMES; JUST A FEW ACTS OF KINDNESS WOULD HAVE SAVED YOU FROM HELLISCIOUS TIMES; BUT YOU CHOSE TO IGNORE THE CRIES OF PEOPLE JUST WANTING A DECENT HOME, TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN SO THEY THEY"LL NEVER HAVE TO ROAM! YOU ARE LAUGHING RIGHT NOW,FOR YOU THINK YOU"VE DONE THEM IN;BUT IN A SHORT TIME, HE WILL COME FOR YOU; AND YOU CAN PLEAD YOUR CASE; BUT YOU SHALL NEVER WIN!

Do they not know~
These insensitive men~
Just how deeply their words
Pierce our very hearts and souls?

Do they not think?
Do they not know?
Do they not care?
That their words~
Uttered in such a glib manner,
Sometimes even followed by a chuckle,
Have hurt us so deeply.

They say things~
Warm and tender and loving things;
And then,
When we respond accordingly~
With love and caring and tenderness~
They shoot us down.

They say it was our imaginations.
They say their words were not real.
They say it was just a fantasy.

Do they not know
Or do they just not care
That their words break our hearts
And make us fearful of them~
Make us insecure about their feelings
For us?

Do they not realize
How much pain they cause us
And how many tears are shed
Because they are oblivious
To our needs?

Do they not know how badly
We crave security
In the knowledge
That they truly care?

Do they not know~
Or do they just not care?

Oh, my heart,
Like a town that lacks its fencing,
You defenseless, standing wall less,
Do not tell whom you are missing,
Do not stand up ‘gainst the wind,
Let it blow, soulless and idling,
Handing words round ‘long the road,
Let it not tell what it wishes,
Let it hear what it unwishes,
Do not call it, do not tell it
That you’re living, you’re alive!

deep past the arrival of eve's night
long after the throng of the city's holiday paraders have gone
he is left far from the crowd, hopelessness his only companion
the avenues mostly still, mostly silent
the homeless panhandler remains in an alley
set against a structure where exhaust vents release warmth from below
he is posed for yet another long night's passing
the only place available to him where a freezing death may not find him
sleep may or may not come for him
half a bottle of wine might offer some comfort, for a short while anyway
as he sips his salvation, he journeys in mind
on a road traveled often, destination never to be found
where his future may lead him, he knows not
it seems that he has always merely tried to last into the following day
with a grimace he muses of tomorrow
when the sun rises next, it will be christmas day
not the best of days for him
truth be told, it could be only the worst
for he knows very well what this will mean
that his usual routine of finding nourishment will not exist
there will be no bakeries tossing out old bread
no eateries filling trash dumpsters with food deemed unfit for customers
only a mere fragment of passers-by from whom to solicit
but most folks crossing his path on this day will be just like him
with little to offer, not even a smile
snapping out from his speculation, he hunkers down upon the grate
trying to escape the bitter cold winds that seem to blow through him
he has found something to concentrate on
this is all that he has
so, we should all take this little tale to bed with us tonight
and recall it tomorrow as we enjoy our great feasts
in the warm comfort of home, with family and friends
for under the fate of circumstance
…every man could be a homeless man

SAY IT ISN"T SO! I HOPED AND PRAYED, THAT YOU WOULD NEVER GO! CAN WE GIVE IT ONE MORE CHANCE; OR IS IT THE END OF OUR ROMANCE! I WILL GO ON AND SO WILL YOU;WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL, WHICH IS GRANTED TO SO MANY FEW! IN THE YEARS TO COME; HE SHALL FIND YOU; UPON WHICH YOU WILL TIE THE KNOT, AND BECOME ONE! I WISH THE BEST TO BOTH OF YOU! I WILL SURVIVE AND FIND LOVE ANEW!
