Best Abandonment Poems
AbandonmentEmbraces shatter leaving timeless stories
Wrapped in butterfly nets, tied with velvet ribbons
Tangled cob webs and ghost blankets
Restless feelings and Kodak moments
Wasting into forever
Alone, rotting in the pantry
Forgotten happiness buried by sorrows
Telling tomorrow yesterday’s lies
A hollow soul searching for absent pieces
Going nowhere, tires spinning...

AbandonmentRunning off with tomorrow
divorcing today
The moment left orphaned
— all time astray

AbandonmentAlthough I seethe with fingers clenched
to silence this mad virus in my marrow,
the sight of favored quality time for siblings
gnaws this band of jealousy, untamed.
Being second or third best, rage is my ally,
igniting a fury hidden inside this chest
an expanding tremor ready to pounce back...

Summer AbandonmentI carefully climb the old oak tree,
traipsing upon its extended limb.
Hold my breath, counting one, two, and three,
abandoning my perch for the swim....

Anxiety, Abandonment and DespairWhen Sartre suggested there was no God,
Did he mean female or male God?
What consequences were to be faced?
We should not live in hope he said!
We should always act rather than live in hope,
If we act rather than live in hope of rescue,
We are more likely...

Epitaph
Moral AbandonmentThe day was long gone as midnight became an opaque obscurity.
Her ebony veneer was
enough to hypnotize.
Smoke clouding homicidal judgment . . .
I stood aloof—
Wondering about death.
How am I suppose to suture such a crimson masquerade;

AbandonmentThe Bitterness of Abandonment
Flows Most Forcefully in Memories
The Hope Endures during the Longing Journey
Leaving No Time But For The Present
Lost For Good
The Inner Compass Fatefully Broken
The Bond Never to Be Sealed
Cast Out Amongst the Unforgiven Seas
Only Love
Sweet Love
Can...

AbandonmentI was seventeen, so were you.
With the innocence of a child,
tabhair me mo chroi duit.
(I gave my heart to you.)
Starved of love 'till you came along.
Your kiss so deep, intellect so strong.
You picked me out, held me close.
Told me you loved me.
Made me feel the...

AbandonmentA lean figure, bearing love
Burdened by a need for belonging
Starved by abandonment and disregard
With eyes of plea that look upon man
Rejection's curse; an unmet gaze.
The cold, the toll
An attempt to live diminished by ignorance
Loyalty pledged, discarded by the heartless
A tale of sorrow; a tail...

OrphanYou chance upon her
in the far reaches of the backyard
a place you never go
and there she trembles a tiny tiger in a blurred world
secreted in shadows below blackthorn shrubs
faint mews draw you closer
the power of her vulnerability
fills your veins with a pulse...

ReckoningI sabotaged my eight-millimeter childhood.
I never knew Sartre
But I contorted my latex face,
Burying my nothingness in family films.
My child was scripted to be ugly, skipped over
In comic relief.
Only recognizable as Menoetius,
My only animation was insolence.
I believed nothing in myself,
I knew nothing.
I sought my...

Broken MotherBroken promises and sad goodbyes,
You left me standing there with tears in the well of my eyes.
In the blink of an eye you turned your back and walked away.
I often wonder if you're okay,
Everyday i dream of how perfect my life would be if you...

You Raped My SoulYou Raped My Soul
by Elise Hendry
I slowly trusted you…
I shared the depths of my heart and soul with you…
You allowed me to attach to you …
Like a newborn fawn…to it’s mother…
I drank deeply from your heart of love, tenderness, gentleness, kindness and acceptance…
You covered me...

Lyric
Forgotten In the DarkAlone in the night, with no one to hold,
A life she never chose, yet she's so bold.
Her mother left her, on the day of her birth,
A cruel fate, that dealt her an insurmountable hurt.
She never knew the warmth of a mother's embrace,
Feeling lost and disconnected,...

An Ode to a Christmas LightOh, to be a broken Christmas light
Surrounded by the glitter burning bright,
While dampened by the blanket of the broke.
People look and think you are a joke.
You are alone, surrounded by the life
Of your friends, yet you are here in strife.
You try your best to glow,...
