Last Viewed Sadness Poems (1,688)

sometimes when we're lost, need found
wonderin' what happened back there
find ourselves dazed, lookin' 'round
what made us feel like this...despair

we know we should be grateful now
jus' want to turn this thinkin' 'round
but can't seem to get into it somehow
get these feet back on solid ground

where is that centered nirvana state
we think we can remember back then
just make these blues disappear...abate
peaceful before, wanna get back again

hands weighing tons are hard to reach out
fumblin' 'n stumblin', movin' a hard motion
when megrims surround the soul with doubt
when feelin' da blues is life's hued emotion

we all get da blues, in a friendless funk
but passin' through these pitiable times
hear eight bar guitars, our gaiety shrunk
wrappin' ourselves in blue quatrained rhymes

we'll make it past to sunnier days fo' sho'
so sing and hum and stomp, cry and moan
put dem blues down when we don't want no mo'
yet know with the blues we're never alone

She's like a window
Whose panes reveal
A hollow soul

She's like an open book
Whose pages express all
But no one cares to look

She is resistant
Yet a fragile leaf
That could crumble in the sun

She is in total control
Though a shadow
One moment there, and then is gone

She holds her secrets
And I envy her ability
To go on

She's like the sunset
Whose multi colors
End with night

She is impossible
And simple
Alive

She is the opposite
Of worthlessness
And still fights to survive

She is above reality
Whose wrapping arms
Reach past her dreams

And distill her
From within
Into opposing things

She is like this...

I made a mess of me.
Its made me harder,
Not smarter.
My life filled with
Ups and downs.
I made a mess of me.
Let truth walk away.
Run away so good at that.
I know what I should do.
But I guess
I like the chaos
within me... not!
Oh GOD!
I made a mess of me.
Will I, can I,
change the mess my lifes in?

The deepest hole, the darkest black,
That's where I live, I can't come back.

You sent me there, when you attacked,
I'm broken now, my body blacked.

I live in fear, a sound, a crack,
I dare not cry, a sound, a thwack.

An accident, it slipped and fall'd,
Mummy please, it's not my fault.

don't hate me please forgive me smile i hurt deep inside i hurt for your friendship again i hurt for sure im dying right now again wish you was still my friend

No more to live in earthly mould,
Though siblings not bereft ?
Despair in me did clasp it's hold,
My spirit long since left.

No funeral pyre, no gaping clay,
Not one sad mourning tear,
No blood red rose, nor white bouquet,
Was flung upon my bier.

For me, no sudden tragic end,
But slowly perished inside,
A veil of sorrow to descend,
When close-blood kinfolk died.

Lymphoma slowly sapped my life,
Such ills did I abhor,
Then as lost love increased the strife,
I decayed a little more.

No one aware that I've passed on,
Appearing to all just fine,
I smile and laugh, 'til yarns are spun,
And die more every time.

Finally reduced to hollow shell,
This world, my mind it warps,
I wander in this lifeless hell,
An aimless moping corpse.

The lonely old house
stands alone on the moor
no people go there
no windows no stairs
no laughter rings out
no children joyfully shout

the lonely old house stands alone and it crys
the ivy that swarms it waits silently then dies
it sit on a hill that is covered in greeing
and waits for the one that will give it new meaning

for i am that house that sits all alone
looking for a heart to give me a home
to open my door and switch on the lights
and live inside me and watm me at night

Why I can not
tell you how I feel
why stand in front of you
I lack my words
maybe I'm scared
that you won't understand me
and your words "It's nonsense"
frighten me.
So I enclose my thoughts
and I have a dialogue
internal myself
And you'll never know about that
because I can't use
the right words.
And it tires me a lot
I would like to scream
out loud.
But I don't know only
is it worth it
So I'm silent
and I feel that we are creating a wall.

There you were
Asking my forgiveness
And I couldn't think
Couldn't even breathe

The air so thick
With emotions
I didn't realize I could feel

There you were
Your outstretched hand
Like a brush with reality
I was unprepared to feel

Through fear and discontent
Heartache too severe
To articulate

I was paralyzed
By my own grief
So much so I had no sense
Or wits about me

Didn't we forge our own mistakes
When had I become so innocent
Why were we lacking in common sense
When we started this

And I stood aware
As the words poured out of you
That love was this lifeless body
In my soul

Whose eyes were downcast
Frozen; dead
Whose glazed expression
Bore the emptiness alone

And told of failed deliverance
Lying upon the doorway of truth
It was hard to believe
Everyone could see it but you

Didn't we ask for our own defense
The strong blade of preservation
Was it too brief our own discipline
To prevent these wounds

Truth needed to gather up these pieces
That bitterness tore
But time remained a distanct relic
Too encumbered, too slow

As you waited for reaction
I knew I had no answer
And from my doorway
I watched you go

And when you were out of sight
I felt the stirring
A restless twitch of the body inside me
Just once as I closed the door.

I made mistakes all my life
now all I do is drive
open the window
burns my eye
but all I do is drive
so many cars with bright lights
cannot even see the road at night
all hot and sticky in the summers heat
too many blues not enough reason
I'm old and grey feeling the pain
ice on the window in a winters day
listening to a radio with frozen fingers
another year had just passed by
just want my search to end
so I can
die in her arms tonight
