Best Empty Heart Poems

A friend’s burden is not your own
     Your ears may tire of bending
But blessed be the one who cares
     With love and guidance sending

Friendship is a two way street
     People are imperfect
A burden shared is a great gift
     To one in need and searching

Forgive a friend, see their value
     Help them if you can
Don’t live with an empty heart
     In a gray world without friends

He came again as just before
a simple knock upon the door

no smiles or kisses did he place
a tortured look upon his face

i felt his absence standing there
the emptied heart i could not bear

so many words lay quiet and still
a hollow chest he would not fill

and what of love so fond and true
has time the bandit changed your view

a stranger stood before me then
last tragic scene when lovers end

are all forevers gone for good
an empty place where you once stood...

Empty Heart

Found this poem I wrote in my 
freshman year in high school 
(2006)

Why does my heart beat
I am alone upon this earth
No one to love me
No one to hold
No one to touch
No one to call my own
This feeling in my heart
A hole I can't fill
Everything I touch, driven away
So here I am
In solitude I lay
On this lonely, lonely valentines 
day


Empty Heart

It was a late evening when I met you
I walked into the room and I saw you
Engrossed in what you were doing, without a care
I knew then that you were a being rare

I kept making efforts to garner your attention
Which was tough, with your demeanour and gumption
Of doing things right and doing them on time
You wouldn't be distracted without a reason or rhyme

But I finally broke through that hard external
Structure you built around, and found love I felt was eternal
Although I felt, a losing battle I was fighting
And being in your company was rarer than Comet sighting

You opened up to me, up to the threshold of your comfort
And I was head over heels in love and I made all possible effort
To keep you happy and always be with you like a useful tool
But your actions kept making me feel like a fool

My place in your life it slowly dawned
Was requirement based, and your heart you never pawned
For my happiness and you never saw us as one
My heart shattered as though shot by a gun

So I turned away with heart heavy but good wishes for you
Prayed to the lord to give you success and happiness too
My prayers were answered and you attained fame
Adulation and followers, part of the game

My mind degenerated, as for your sins I atoned
I lost my sanity and everything I owned
But even my insane mind only had thoughts of you
Despite everything I went through, my heart had love for you

Then I saw you one day as you walked past me
Your eyes looking at me, but not seeing me
You flicked coins towards me like a work of art
They filled my begging bowl, but emptied my heart

My Empty Heart

My mind….is this real
My thoughts….stray to you
In my dreams….always the same
Awakening….body still aware
Senses….only wanting
Touching….can it be
Feeling….body alive
Realisation….still alone
Why did you leave…My Empty Heart

An Empty Heart Full of Hope

I've found someone I can't live without
Pitiful, I've only discovered that after they've left 
Now I can't live. 
I've descended on both knees 
A face flooded with tears, 
Which bled from my broken insides 
To repent, to pray to a God 
In which I did not believe existed 
A God in which I only turned to 
In times of need
A God in which I believed would avail me, even if I wasn't the most 
Faithful of followers 
I believed if I was baptized in his name, he'd perform divine miracles 
Before my eyes, even if I did not practice his teachings 
Am I selfish for doing so? 

Set aside my failure to practice 
My own congenital beliefs, 
My heart still aches 
My body, still empty 
Legs shaking, weak from the lack 
Of his presence 
He is my pillar 
He is my wings 
He arises me above all that is evil 
He makes me feel whole, 
He makes me feel divine, 
He makes me feel like I can climb mountains, 
Slay the devil, himself 
I am a fool for this man 
He is my King 
And I would walk through hellfire to be able to hold him once more...

Empty Heart

Oh, Rose so beautiful and pure
And when your petals open
Now tainted must endure
And like the petals wither
And  does love in your heart
When nurturing 
And caring are forgot

This Empty Heart Missing You

THIS EMPTY HEART MISSING YOU

I slip out 
of my heart
and there I am
naked; moaning
for your love over,
and over sipping
sake without a full
moon to fill 
this empty heart
missing you with
no will to survive.

Empty Heart

I came to you in the dark,
 I wanted to give you my heart.
To make love and hold you near,
 until the morning sun appeared.
Peacefully you slept by the moons light,
 I could not disturb your dreams tonight.
Like an angle in heaven above,
 selfishly I could not take your love.
So I'll just lay here in the dark,
 alone with my empty heart.

Mothers Empty Heart

Why do you hate me?
Because you're not like me
Why do you treat me like you do?
It's discipline, not abuse
Why did you do to me what you did?
What does it matter? You're the kid
Why did you cause me so much pain?
What are you talking about? You brought the pain
Why don't you love me as your daughter?
Are you crazy? I was the perfect mother

An Empty Nest of Love Left To An Empty Heart As a Nest of Ha

A jumping busied house of love now felt empty is this nest... 
That was a parental test, no more noise but empty feelings of one yearning 
times now lost but to fare fond memories. 

Feelings and memories happly remembered... 
Memories well enjoyed of times well best. 

Now the times are filled with empty echoes of the heart... 
Aptly remembered of loved ones that have taken flight fro' the aft' yester year's 
days awakened of depart. 

We must continue on in memoried best... 
To now and in near futured to spend thoughtful solitude in this much 
emptied saddened nest. 

Times were hard and times were nice... 
Hopely by God our next futured years will double or add by thrice. 

Health is something that we may take for granted... 
For the love by others will be etched in minds and happly as branded. 

Like as in a video camera's pictures of good experiences will stick in mind and 
be fixed in mine... 
To have spent time loving loved ones as loved by thine. 
To in later life to pen memories to line... 

These good, good times will be remembered and consumed to the brain's own 
pictures... 
Permanently tied to a heart's own memory s like an anchor or permanent fixture. 

Love fro' the heart and love fro' above... 
Is the last picture in my mind as like a full portrait of love. 

Yours was an awesome write of love in memories that need to be kept close at 
heart... 
May these memories remain within your soul when fro' this Earthly plane that 
you lastly depart.

An Empty Heart

It takes so little to fill an empty heart
But I know, my heart isn’t empty
When I feel that I, am misunderstood
Please don’t hold, my passions against me

Cause I know, my heart isn’t empty
I feel alone, unworthy, and shamed
Please don’t hold my passions against me
When self-doubt, has stolen my name

I feel alone, unworthy, and shamed
Insecure in the thoughts that I share
My self-doubt, has kept me in chains
And it seems, that nobody cares

Insecure in the thoughts that I share
I must break, from this prison, of mind
All I ask is respect, understanding at most
I need friends that are loving and kind

I must break, from this prison, of mind
If you ever feel misunderstood
Beside you, I’ll stand, holding your hand
It takes so little, to fill, an empty heart
An empty heart
With love

"In life we learn from love, hurts, mistakes and from the ones we have trusted." By Poet

My heart once held love overflowing,
joy was bursting at the seams and glowing.
That was before you came along,
you did me so very wrong.
Filling my loving heart with pain,
I will never do this again.
Now I will guard my hurt and empty heart,
you have made me very smart.
No more bad words and lies,
for now I have become wise.

Emptiness

Tears in my eyes refuse to roll down,
there's a lump in my throat.
There's a voice in my head.

Trapped in ambiguity and conundrum,
I lose faith in myself.
Everyday's like a challenge to me.
I am unprepared .
I am daunted by the unpredictability of the circumstances.

I am unable to rise from the fall.
I want to shout and scream and release that lump that's stuck in my throat for so long.
I am busy somedays and empty always,
I am happy somedays and devastated all days.

All I seek is love ,
a little crumb of it is enough.
I  can satiate myself from whatever I receive.

I yearn for a touch ,
some warmth.
Some kisses.
Some hugs.

Can someone please hold my hand and take me away from this gruesome reality.
All I need is a drop of love to quench my empty heart.
