Best Heartless Poems


Premium Member Alas, I Was Tricked By a Heartless Mirage

Hues I desired, soon abandoned my sky
As flashing thunder ignited fiery clouds
Dissipating orange glow evening sought
Turning wild winds into advancing storm

Having promised you a galaxy of stars
I stepped boldly to go where they are
But there was no moon to guide my path
As I waddled in floods pitch-blank dark

Birds had detoured to shelter and hide
Seeing ocean's ride in enormous tides
Scattering on earth a despicable plight
As upon a hill I saw a glimmer of light

Courage I found in wondrous thoughts
Knowing this was to be my only chance
Bracing the storm to go where you are
Waiting inside the tall red lighthouse

But when I made it there you were gone
Alas, I was tricked by a heartless mirage

Heartless

I used to fear the storm, now I feel comfortable by the dark clouds
I feel alone even when in large crowds
Things that I used to cherish are so easy for me to disregard now
How can you expect me to not be heartless after years of pouring my heart out

A fake smile and bravado to hide the fact I'm insecure
Had to be an adult during my childhood, I've used my 20's to be immature
A grown man still dealing with his childhood trauma
Hip-Hop and sarcasm became good armour

I've wasted years with meaningless flings and acting reckless
Partying nightly and taking a nap for breakfast
I never knew where I was going, but was too stubborn to ask for directions
Pretend I'm ok, and pour a glass of brandy to relax my depression

I'm not good with commitment, but at times I appreciate the closeness 
It fixes me for a short time and lets me forget I'm from a place that's broken 
The intimacy gives me a small opportunity to escape my emotions 
If she thinks I'm only good enough for a one night stand I won't waste the moment 

There's been so many times I got girls naked to dress up my own pain
At times I enjoyed Being thoughtless, because I already stress enough in my brain
At times I struggle to express the feelings inside my chest
I'm just a flawed and damaged man who tries his best

Heartless Echoes

Falling forever through time, lonely hearts cascading…
Calling echoes of ringing chime, vibes of love fading…
Crawling tears facing crime, of dark streets invading…
Exhaling breaths chasing climb, vertical voices escaping…
Appalling words making rhyme, of thoughts are degrading...
Hauling hearts wasted prime, amidst many loves parading.


…this verse can be read backward…


Echoes Heartless


Cascading hearts lonely, time through forever falling...
Fading love of vibes chime, ringing of echoes calling...
Invading streets dark of crime, facing tears crawling...
Escaping voices vertical climb, chasing breaths exhaling...
Degrading are thoughts of rhyme, making words appalling...
Parading loves many, amidst prime wasted hearts hauling.

A Heartless Angel

A heartless angel of my love,
Inside your heart it’s cold enough.
No way to melt your frozen heart, 
And due to this we fall apart.
You want to go, you want to leave,
Not any chance you want to give.
Not any sense you have to me,
With you together I cannot be.
I cannot see your smile, your face,
Can’t overcome between us space,
You are so cold, you are as glacier,
There’s only pain, there is no pleasure.
Inside of you there is no passion,
And you don’t know, what’s called compassion.
Perhaps it’s good, we’re not together,
By piece my heart I will not gather.
I thank the God, I let you go,
And now you are; whom I don’t know.

Heartless Way

Hand reached through
  to pull you through
Ill always do that for you
  I held you closely, caring closely
you drench my shirt in tears
But after all the years
I've lifted, held you up
said words to build you up
You stand firmly now
tred your own ground
walk side by side, you and I
til that day I tripped fell
stumbled down swiftly
You never broke pace to lift me
Striding on, not looking back
I lay there, looking on dumbly
Its your heartless way that numbed me

Heartless Heart

again he remembers, just like tonight,
           he dreamt long ago about lying awake
           beside her beneath the bronze blanket
                       of a lightning-scorched, stormy night;


the memory, a bent optical illusion now,
           like that of a straight reed seen in water,
           shows a distorted image of that dream
                      where it seemed he froze deep inside,


dumbstruck, not so much by the wrath
           of the tempest gone berserk outside
           as by the quiet guilt  now gnawing away
                      at this one ungrateful, heartless heart;


but, the teasing touch of her drowsy hand,
           warm upon his chin, explains everything
           reassuringly, so he drifts back to sleep
                     unafraid of waking up to dream again.


Left Heartless

Heartless is what happens when a person has a loving heart that just ripped out and stomped on by the scammer who thinks their real.  When in reality they feel no love inside.  Only the love of themselves.  While making broken promises of love and trust to just watch another heart slowly shattered into pieces.  While the innocent victim makes a fool out of themselves.   Thinking here’s my chance at love and happiness. 

Only to be felt feeling betrayed and used in the end.  Always wondering what happened to cause the betrayal and lies.  Blaming themselves for giving their honest love and denotation to a fake.  Knowing that every smile and every touch meant nothing.  Wanting to run away and hide from the world around them.  

Being ashamed because of the curse of love that was placed upon them.  Needing to find a way to escape the nightmare they are facing alone.  While the world outside will never know what happened to cause all the hate that remains inside where a loving caring heart is supposed to be.  

Wondering why there was no apologies for causing the pain.  Only denying the affair ever happened. But the pictures were the evidence that could not be denied.  Now the whole world knows what a real scam is.  Because your time was up and the game is over.

Heartless

Heartless
Wanton Killings
By hijacked aeroplanes
unleashing death,shock,fear,anger
terror.




In memory of those that lost their lives during the attack on the world trade centre-i.e-sept 11 ,2001.

Heartless

A heart 
 that knows no hurt
  is no heart at all -
   it's steel.

Un-Mother / Heartless

I hate it, I hate it.
Everything that she does.

I hate her, I hate her.
There's nothing that she loves,
But herself.

~

And I see
Her different now.
There are faults that
Were never there.

Never supposed to
Be seen by me.
Meant to be hidden,
And just leave-be.

~

I hate it how she makes me mad
I feel I've given in.

I hate it how she thinks she's grand,
Always thinks she'll win.

I hate it how I fight her back.
I kick her down, she still attacks.

~

I feel the evil
When we fight.
I wish you'd leave,
Stay out tonight.

I don't want to
Be here any more.
MY whole body
Is achingly sore.

When we yell
It hurts my bones,
Like you've thrown
Some violent stones.

When we scream
My throat hurts,
Like you've thrown
Some cursing dirt.

When we fight,
It hurts my eyes.
You need to stop
These stupid lies.

The Heartless Girl

Rip out my heart 
and bury my soul
Kill all my feelings 
leaving me stone cold.

Turn this fake smile 
into a frown. 
I’m tired of portraying 
the image of a clown.

Years of been strong, 
I've finally given in.
Crumbling to the ground
like these broken dreams. 

Solitude has become 
my new best friend.
As those who promised to stay
walked away in the end.

I've learned to be alone,
facing all my fears.
While each night
rolled down painful tears.

Praying for someone 
To just be there.
And prevent me from falling
into a dark pit of despair.

But in darkness I found tranquility
And pulled myself up again.
And realized I’ll always be alone
To face my own pain. 

So rip out my heart 
and bury my soul. 
Let me now be known as 
The Heartless Girl.

Heartless

We people search for hearts that we can keep ourselves, 
But we have no result. 
So long ago, these precious things have been taken from us, 
We’ve been worn down by all the insults. 

I’m tired! I’m sick of it! You call me a heartless for speaking the truth, 
Look at who you are talking to! 
If you knew how much I’ve suffered, you would say different,
But you would rub it in my face and laugh if you knew. 

I thought the truth would save us from danger and help us out, 
More and more lies pile up in my hands. 
All the lies you’ve told me weigh me down like bricks, 
I’m surprised this body still stands. 

I don’t care about what you have to say, I don’t want to hear your petty rants, 
Why don’t you listen to me for a change? 
If you knew everything that I’ve tried to deal with but failed to comprehend, 
You wouldn’t point and call me strange. 

Why do I even try? You tell me I need therapy, help, counseling, 
I told you no. You think a bunch of medication is going to make everything 
nice? 
If that is the solution for this anxiety and stress, the depression, 
Then I’ll look away and suffice. 

I may be Heartless, but you know what? I’m proud to be, 
Wanna know why? 
Because those without hearts once cared too much for everyone, 
But all it got was a lie. 

I’ll stay Heartless, 
You can keep your hearts to yourself, 
And I’ll walk away, 
Keeping everything to myself.

Heartless Henry

Henry is revered as a great man, a teacher, like he was our saviour,
But what about his immoral philosophy and evil behaviour?
The Kent State shootings, an act of insanity,
Operation menu, a crime against humanity.
A brutal bombing campaign against an innocent civilian population,
Not a single person ever brought to justice from the Nixon administration.
A monster philosopher of wealth and subversion, a master hypocrite,
But so many describe him as a man of great charm and wit.
I find these comments perplexing, the man violated human rights worldwide,
Was involved in Pinochet’s bloody coup in Chile and Indonesia’s genocide.
Christopher Hitchens told the truth about this monster, he even wrote a book,
The trails of Henry Kissinger, an interesting analysis of the crook.
His crimes were ruthless and cold, an obvious amoral megalomaniac,
A two-faced, callous beast who just loved to attack.

Heartless Goddess

Even when I want to free myself
And turn to other ‘amants’
My heart still whispers
‘Oh, but I love her.’

And so I falter
And hurry back to you
And plead innocence
To a heartless goddess!

But now more than ever
I must turn my back on you
And conjure my selfish heart
To let go this silly fixation!

Would you deign to stop me?

The Heartless Giant

The pirates stole the giant’s heart
So that he could love no more
Carried away by horse and kart
To their ship just off the shore
 
The pirates had a heart attack
The giant called for a storm
They decided to take the organ back
So that things could return to norm

The ship ripped and split in two
All lives were lost at sea
The heart sank deep into the blue
But still continued to beat
 
Have you ever met a heartless giant?
Things would never be the same
With rage and anger he grew defiant
To make up for the pain
