Best Bitter End Poems

With the Darkness from within your own heart's a wry,
You're going to die without anyone to love you and no one to cry.
Just alone by yourself on the bed of your death,
With the stench of regret emanating from your last dying breath,

For you have chosen...

The Bitter End of the Road

Travelers coalesce as if from as dense fog 
about the grounds of the retreat.
The lodge shimmers silver-gray
amongst the changing autumn woods.
The gravel way diminishes in rearview mirrors
with the pinging sound of pebbles against
the metal horses of the day.

Civilization, ever trampling,
encroaches...

It’s my deathbed piano sonata 
Fond farewell I say to a lotta 
Note: At door there’s a fist-- 
A bouncer with the list 
Of any persona non grata  


Author's Note: This was inspired by my neighbor Lillian.  We were talking the other day...

I'm drifting on white winds of winter
with tears that are cold and bitter.

My pain is deep
and I'm losing sleep,

but you let me slip away
the day you decided to stray.

You've left me jaded from your broken promises,
I'm full of wasted tears and compromises.

Now I'm unanchored in...

A young man once told me

On a wintry and colourful day

“We should do that together,

Yes, one day we will”



The days and the weeks and the months

Passed quietly hoping.

The snow turned to rain,

The ice to roaring rivers.



Then on a warm night he took me aside,

Looking at...

I won't but I know some dummy will
Ya'll think it's funny still
Out in the country hills
F*** all these monthly thrills
People think money kills
But its humans that do, leading to bloody bills

It was difficult to be predicted
Often conflicted
Folks heavily addicted
Areas still restricted
Too many wrongfully convicted
Others getting...

I once had a best friend
Sisters, for so many years,
Our friendship met, its bitter-end
For me, full of tears....

Breath of life in a forlorn one,
uplifted face to brace the wind,
called His name with prayer to send.
Forgive me! I have come undone.
I lost my way, now moribund,
and all I’d hoped was to ascend.

You'll find her in the dark
Her white flag in the ground
Everything close to her heart
Is nowhere to be found
She saw it helpless from the start
Her cry for help had no sound
The bitter end isnt far
Just tell her to turn around.

In the arms of a monster
Clutched...

where does love go
when it leaves the even flow
of having and not having
the romance and the unknown

when the one that sleeps beside you
no longer seems beside you
and arguments leave you all alone
with your misdeeds. mistakes and groans

and hideous memories take hold
cruelties and vicious words are...

I wanted me by your side, 
You chained my soul.
   I scattered you,
You made me whole.

   You were everything,
I knew I could never be.
   We were so opposite,
Right down to our personality.

   You ran away, snuck
Out the...

I'm very sure you won't think twice of me,
Before you take your flight and quickly flee.

I have loved you with all my aching heart
So sad to feel your wrath before we part.

You took your time to load your frappin' truck
Cared not a whit you ran...

That awful word love that I once spat you,
So tiresome to hear worn out and over-used
Just another one of our repetitive lies,
And a part of our dreary everyday lives.

And the thought that I shared your bed,
Planted kisses upon your lips,
Felt every inch of your sweaty...

The faithful love of God has no end
His Great Love covers a multitude of sins
His Love stands firm forever
Because He cares and prepares the hearts of many

Do not fear
Yahweh is faithful until the bitter end
He sent forth His Son, Jesus who
Won the battle over death
Through...
