Last Commented Sadness Poems (1,686)

im alone looking for the world im alone looking for the world im alonetears in the rain im sad and grey my heart is shattered and in pain for today im sad and grey tears in the rain my eyes feel you im in pain tears in the rain

I placed a poem upon a shelf

And hoped that someone would read it

I got back later to find

That it was still untouched

And all I ever wanted was some gratitude

I placed a cup upon a window ledge

Slowly, the rain came and eventually began to fill it

Alas, not all the way to the brim, and I was left wanting

Frustrated, I cursed the sky that had suddenly dried up

All I ever wanted was a cup full of rainwater

I placed a small handkerchief in the pocket of my son's shirt

On a bright summer morning, before he went to school

I had hoped that it would remain unsullied and pristine in his pocket

But he was suffered a nosebleed and wiped the blood away with it

All I ever wanted was something pure

I wished upon a star one night as a boy

Alone and with no one to bother me, I reveled in the sheer excitement of it

I wished for all of the star like things that a boy would wish for

As I grew older, my wishes became fewer, narrower, more focused

And all I would ever wish for was a wedding day

And so I reached the end of my travels

Weary and alone, I rested upon a mountain top, taking in the enormous view

And with no one to bother me, I thought of you

And the gratitude you would give me while we were still together

And I wept as I thought of all of your kisses and breaths

SECOND CHANCE


They were footsteps that I didn’t recognise,
Two people close in disguise.
How can I see the bright dawn,
What has passed, has come,
But not yet gone.

Like the storm on the horizon,
That I should have kept my eye’s on,
Like the creeping fog that slowly
Engulfs the dawn of the day….
Suffocating all around
Now falling to ground.

Those values and promises
Once close to the heart,
Discarded by one who said, “ Til’ death do we part “.
Betrayal came easy
Deception so sleazy.
From the hurt and the pain
Trust and friendship they did feign.

Fear strikes so sudden,
Shivers rattle my spine,
As loneliness comes to haunt,
In the dark hours after nine.

Twisting and turning,
Wide eye’s prevail,
Fighting guilt and self-sentence,
Must escape this hellish jail.

Looking in the mirror
Just makes me want to scream,
For what I see is some nightmarish dream.
My body has taken this ‘juggernaut’ fall,
Shredded and limp,
Like a tossed ragtime doll.

So where are the bright stars
That those close point to ?
What is the future,
What can I do ?

I see nothing but fear
Ever so near.
Strength and courage evades,
Hurt and pain, so many shades.

Visions from the dark side threatened my goal,
The grip of vengeance would blacken my soul.
From the gripping depths of this dreampool
Breaking the surface above,
I will get stronger, you better believe…..
And those stolen dreams won’t be so hard to retrieve.

Alas ! Digging so deep,
I’m back on my feet.
Although I’ve been hit,
I will never quit.

Life in my forties now, takes on a new meaning,
New found friends,
Rekindle lost dreaming.
From the innocence of two young ones
Comes strength and normality,
New hope and happiness…
A new air of quality.

Those footsteps have long disappeared,
My path ahead has now been cleared.
And as the sun now plays with the children as they dance….
God, has given my life….a second chance.

Paul Gallagher

It's sad. It's sad. It's sad it seems
that life tends to kill our childhood dreams
and all the things we once believed
lay torn and tattered at the seams.

'I remember the time you said you were leaving, winter it was, a cold and frosty morning...

'you said your goodbyes with sadness etched in your Irish weeping emerald eyes...would I ever see you again, I asked myself, as I stood there with great sadness, with empty heart...

'Play me one more tune, just for me, play my favorite you asked...one more harmonica tune to send me on my way....

'Oh Danny Boy', was your favorite, never failing to melt your heart, whenever I hear this song you would say, we will never really be apart..

'As you wish my love, just for you i'd say, just for you to send you on your journey away...'I played for you, the haunting echoed sounds of your favorite, 'Oh Danny Boy'...

'You drove away with a wave goodbye, tears streaming down my sorrowed face...'Wait I cried, Just one more tune, your other favorite, 'Over the rainbow', just for you...

'I watched you dissapear into the distance, and although you had gone my love, me and my tear stained harmonica tuned you another tune....The echo's of 'Over the rainbow' sounding out, just for you..

I don’t feel gloomy
I don’t feel joyful
I feel melancholy

The wind russles the trees
The sun shines
The porch swing squeeks

I don’t feel gloomy
I don’t feel joyful
I feel melancholy

The air is still
The sun fades
The porch swing is empty

The cold autumn breeze blows the rustling leaves.
The smell of wood smoke lofting on the breeze.
The crisp of the cold chills you to the bone.
The candle flickers in jack'O lantern at your neighbors home.

Thoughts of a bygone summer fill your mind.
A true love that left you behind.
The emptiness you feel makes it all so bleak.
Then the cold brings you back as it wisps your cheek.

Its time to go now and head back home.
Its a long cold walk down a lonely road.
The crunch of leaves beneath your feet.
They tap and rattle as they blow in the street.

You close the door and remove your scarf.
To warm yourself at an empty hearth.
You sit to eat a warmed over meal.
Its unbelievable how empty you feel.

You lay down in a cold and empty bed.
You toss and turn to try to clear your head.
You will sleep this upon night.
To wake to the morning to resume your plight.

Love is fleeting this is all to real.
It will leave you lonely and cold as steel.
Mind your heart and follow your dream.
And with hope you will find true loves flickering gleam.

You blew in like a hurricane, working the crowd into a frenzy...
with your green baize skills, you thrilled and spilled a plenty...

You toy'ed with your opponents, but even they were in awe, of your mighty cueing action, your cue was your sword...

A flawed genius you were with inner demons being your biggest rivals,
little did you say in public, you did all your talking on the tables..

You were a rebel but not in disguise, you were planning a comeback, much to everyones surprise..

So long Hurricane, blow them away elsewhere, dazzle them wherever you are, and most of all hold your head up high, your fans love you, so never do despair...

I could feel a hot one taking me down
For a moment, I could feel the force
Fainted to the point of tears
And you were holding on to make a point
What's the point?

I'm but a clean man, stable and alone man
Make it so I won't have to try
The faces always stay the same
So I face the fact that I'm just fine
I said that I'm just fine

I remember, head down,
After you had found out
Manna is a hell of a drug
And I need a little more, I think
Because enough is never quite enough
What's enough?

I took it like a grown man crying on the pavement
Hoping you would show your face
But I haven't heard a thing you've said
In at least a couple hundred days
What'd you say?

I was in the front seat, shaking it out
And I was asking if you felt alright
I never want to hear the truth
I want to hear your voice, it sounded fine
My voice, it sounded fine

I could feel my heartbeat taking me down
And for the moment, I would sleep alright
I'm dealing with a selfish fear
To keep me up another restless night
Another restless night

The blood was dry, it was sober
The feeling of audible cracks
And I could tell it was over
From the curtains that hung from your neck

And I realized that then you were perfect
And my teeth ripping out of my head
And it looked like a painting I once knew
Back when my thoughts weren't entirely intact

To pray for what I thought were angels
Ended up being ambulances
And the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
She was crying inside your stomach

And I felt love again
