Best Heartwrenching Poems

ALUMINUM SIDING

my heart is buried behind the aluminum siding,
trapped inside that bubbly feeling i’d get when your arms would graze my waist,
in the late night bus rides when the light slipping through the shutters swathed your smirk in soft, blazing bandages.
you called me darling back...

"Artificial Iris"


Orwell was lurking in the background, somewhere;
the dream was eerily familiar, 
the words and their meanings, read in Syntax,
once read between pages of hardcopy in school 
were aptly ignored - 

however, 
our Overlords were seen 
not to be feared, but très cool

sleep no longer...

Brittle Bones Break

It is heartwrenching to read today of a grotesque medical anamoly…
When a cute little girl of four suffers  from a cruel bone malady…
The medical journals have identified it as Osteogenesis Imperfecta…
A dreaded enough disease that begets in a baby at its mother’s...

The sunless evening is deprived
of its ardent and vivid colors,
the mischievous clouds
in their hastiness extend
their thin and tenebrous veil 
increasing my body's chill.

They intensify the dreary darkness
invading the lively landscapes under
a silent universe so distant and squalid,
less fascinating and mysteriously far  
to be contemplated...

She felt the kiss of a single raindrop
fall ever so gently upon her cheek
its feel reminded her of their last kiss
a kiss shared between two lovers
destined to be together forever as one.
But sadly, the fates intervened
seperating them with this simple kiss
and a tragic heartwrenching goodbye.
He...

I dreamt of her again last night.
In my dream she was not dead.
She stood there in the fading light
But not one word she said.

She did not answer when I called.
She was watching the ravens in flight
Circling over the foggy graveyard.
It was such a heartwrenching sight.

I...

Such an overwhelming,heartwrenching disease
 from a baby,a parents pain,sheilded yet knotted inside
   non facial expressions,no tears,no laughter
       how do you detect the mood of your infant.

That endless black ribbon is a truck driver's home
with his bunk there behind him,he's destined to roam
  Outside of the circle,on the fringes of life
he feels the rejection,from even his wife
  Oh,he knows the truth,'neath the smiles pasted on
but he keeps to himself,turns...

People grieve the loss of their moms and dads,
and the worst thing is that they can't see 
them on the their final moment and hold their hand
by the bedside...how horrible that is;
how heartwrenching it must be!
We all have been affected in tragic ways,
but if the...

Beyond your causes, past your past,
For all the reasons you stayed in hopes it would last,
Placing your trust in people who you knew would leave,
For the faces ingrained in your memory,
Hoping love would knock all the walls down,
Perseverance stays to see,  love stands its...

squeezed like an orange to get the last drop
craving solar energy's darts of elixir
extracting the last of summer vitality
in a last ditch effort
to caress every curve
of this diverse globe

meanwhile wishes and prayers
are tossed freely just
in case anyone out there
makes a career of hauling in
hopes and...

The cruelty..the pain..the heartwrenching words,
The egotistical mocking in your unsettling world,
When i hear them i cringe..so saddened by your view,
Your eyes continuously focused on you,
I watch as you try endlessly night and day,
To see through the eyes of love but then go astray,
You allow the...

It's easier to love, when
the worst case is having a 
funny story to retell at bars.

It makes more sense to believe, knowing
truth left untold will never
make it into the final edit.

It's almost too easy to draw blood,
when I tell myself the red is just 
footnotes...
