Last Commented Sadness Poems (1,688)

Who, In thy dreaded absence that I fear
will care enough? to dry my sorrowed tear,
Who! will free me from the dark hour'd night
with love, to speed my darkness into flight,
annulling loathsome melancholy,replace bright,
the absent colours,to my once inner sight,
Who! will torch the candle of life's day,
when fate deemed you, from me so fast away,
Who! when velvet clouds no longer kiss the moon,
as darkness upon this earthly light, consume
the short filled days of nature's special bloom,
that shone in May but saw not June,
Who! when impatient time, no longer waits
for the flower that came; but stayed not late,
Who! shall free the heart of anguished sighs,
of sullen silence and brave smiles that cry,
Who! will reveal the tenderness of knowing why,
when searching lofty vapours, with yearning eye
of absent hope, that pains the hours of sleep,
reflecting tears of love, those sad eyes to keep,
Now alas! from ageless time, love's bounty will
fire the days to which we clung
and sing the song that once we sung.

There are bars on my window
That mars my view of the park
The trees don’t talk, or listen
Like me, they just are
At times of high winds they whisper
Each one its own orchestral aria
Sometimes soft
And then with crescendos
Like passages from Holst’s Mars
But mostly as soft sad laments
Yet now stillness reigns
Somehow seeming a motion
That defies movement
Empty swings plead for children
As if they have an understanding
Of solitude and loneliness
A passing stray cat stops
And stares
With a look of apprehension
In eyes as dark as its fur
Its coat blacker than its shadow
For a fleeting second
We look into each others eyes
Then it quickly scurries away
Maybe it could perceive
The bars that imprison my soul

Today I cried
I've really tried
You won't seek help
You're drowning
Pulling me down with you
I don't want to die
I'm finally starting to feel alive
What did you think
I would do
When you told me
you continue to hurt you
I want to run and hide
I'm scared if I leave you
You will die
How do I get through to you
God knows I've tried
I made you my guy
Seems like all I do is cry
And you won't even try
My heart is breaking everyday
I no longer know what to say
All I can do is pray .

What Does it Take?


I grew up in the violence
of apartheid . Do I want
to go back? Even now,
my significant objects
here in my treehouse
flat with a balcony,
relieved to feel each
angry mile of history
disintegrate, one memory
raps its knuckles
on my heart’s door.
Late one night
the door bell rang
at my cousin’s house.
The woman who worked
for my grandmother
stood bleeding before us,
deep cuts on her cheeks,
slashed with a broken bottle.
My uncle sent her away,
to the servant’s entrance.
Shut the door on her
split and bloody face.
That day I began
to pack my invisible bags,
pictured the water and sky
I would cross to leave this,
knowing wounds heal
but asking what does it take
for the soul to recover?

I'M SUFFERING, A HORRIBLE DEATH WITHOUT YOU! I KNOW YOU'D SAY; DADDY; DON'T CRY, CAUSE I'M, SUFFERING TOO! JASMINE; I BOUGHT ALL THE CANS, AND TREATS, THAT YOU LOVE! I WISH THAT, ONCE IN AWHILE, YOU COULD COME DOWN, FROM ABOVE; THEN WE CAN TALK AND LAUGH TOGETHER; CAUSE EVERY DAY; THAT'S ALL, I'M THINKING OF! FOURTEEN YEARS, I CANNOT SHAKE; SO PLEASE, DO SOMETHING, AND APPEAR; FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! WE'LL GET THAT BEAUTIFUL FARM, ONEDAY; THEN YOU, AND ALL THE OTHERS, CAN IMMERSE YOURSELVES; IN EVERLASTING PLAY!

You may have seen me at your work,
YOu may have seen me at the store,
Y ou might have even passed me out somewhere,
You know the girl behind the sad eyes?
On the outside i light up the room,
On the inside all kinds of fear and doubt.
You sometimes see some anxiety,
If they only knew how bad it really gets.
The yelling,the screaming,things getting thrown,
Nowhere to hide except inside of myself.
JUst hoping it passes quickly this time.
THen you get hit repeatedly,
But they dont hurt nearly as bad as the words,
THen youre left to pick up the pieces and act like nothing happened once again.
THis is the story of the girl behind the sad eyes.

Is life like the waves rushing in

full of velocity and so beautiful

sometime's violent crashing against the shores

flowing gently back out to sea

crashing against each other

as if struggling to survive, one

could watch for hours just feeling

the breeze against your face

and the smell of the sea air

The soft warm sand between your toes

As we walk along the coastline

The salt waters always returning to the air

from where it came, raining again

and gentle snows

to the mountain tops flowing

on to the rivers and streams

starting the cycle all over again

From dust to dust and ashes to ashes

and born again in another form

The cycle of life reliable phenomena

Tide In Tide Out

Missed

You were there but now gone

Your thoughts are now ours

as we remember your words

that are now our memories

so you live on in our minds

You rest in peace and become

part of the universe all around us

in the air, sun, wind and light

We will join you when our time comes

but now we are in pain with your loss

and sadness that we are apart except

for those memories we share

AN OUNCE OF SADNESS
IS WORTH
A POUND OF KINDNESS
FOR SOMEONE,
TRUELY LOVED.

I fear my time is closing in, too scared to be ashamed,
when a whisper calls the night, I will come running from a dream,
Call it obsession that denies,
I'll cry when heaven dies,
I sell my soul just to breath,
innocence is lost in me
when the angels start to cry
I feel as if heaven has died...

if I die tonight
would you remember me tomorrow
if the sun went out
the stars went dark
would you remember me tomorrow
if I died tonight
if a tornado landed
tore up a town
sun went out
stars went dark
would you remember me
Tomorrow
if I died tonight
if the rivers rose
flooded the ground
if a tornado landed
tore up the town
sun went out
the stars went dark
if I died tonight
would you remember me
Tomorrow
if the stars went dark
the moon went out
rivers flooded the ground
a tornado tore up the town
would you remember me tomorrow
If I died tonight
then stop your madness
for I am all ready dying
for I am the earth
river's are my vain
bursting out at the seem
you think that is just a tornado
No, it is a sneeze
you see
now I got a cold
I just had to blow my nose
I am dying can you not see
I am the earth
would you remember me
if I die tonight
