Best Lossme Poems


I Will Be Strong

Today, I lie in the stillness of the night
Listening for you breathing
The silence hard to bear,
Without you here beside me
The emptiness, the loneliness 
Is more than I can endure
I am but an empty shell,
Living, yet not alive,
It was you and you alone
That made me whole
But, tomorrow is another day
And although my future now is unclear,
Second by second
Minute by minute
Hour by hour
The memories we shared
Will make me stronger.

I'Ll Remember You.

I'll Remember You

I woke up today hoping to see your smile...
But when I awoke you weren't there
I can't accept the fact that you're gone
I'm in denile, I wish you were here with me
Instead of far away...
But I know we'll be together again someday

I'll remember you
And the way you laughed
How I loved the way time would pass
I'll remember you
And the things you would say
To help me get by day after day
Now that you're gone 
I don't know what to do without you

I miss walking through the door
And seeing you on the couch snoring more and more
I guess that part of my life is gone
And my new life without you has just begun
But don't worry dad I'll be okay
Because I know your watching me everyday

I'll remember you
And the things you would do to make me mad
Little did you know you made me glad
I'll remember you
How you would pick on me
I wish that's how it would always be
Now that you're gone
I don't know what to do without you...

I'll remember You
And the things you would say
To help me get by day after day

But when my time comes to be with you again...
I won't be alone, I'll run into your open arms
And hear you say "welcome home."

Alone In the Unknown Land

I am alone,in this unknown land
The way back as a losers game,I played
Wanna live it bravely but at times I fail....
Me who cries for the gone past,me myself call a pessimist

Past which teach me a lot
Life a teacher,teach me happily the sorrows...
Me jealous of those happy ones
Thinks its a curse alone for me or may the fate...

Still my goals are firm
I'm not ready to leave it for the past
But for the future
I am ready to fight for my life

Me not a selfish ! Still want something,not for me 
But to help the world,The ones who are alone..........


Turn the Pages Gramma

She used to wake me up in the middle of the night
"come out here and talk to me" ... I'd sigh and say "alright"
I'd sit beside her, on the couch, my legs tucked under me
she'd light her cigarette and then she'd start in with a story.

She'd tell me of her childhood, all the stories of her past
I'd listen, so enraptured, she tried to make them last
sometimes just an hour, sometimes till the sun came up
but I never tired of listening, I could never get enough.

Turn the pages Gramma, in your book of hopes and dreams
Take me with you Gramma, on your trip of memories
Turn the pages Gramma, I feel so close to you now
Turn the pages Gramma, take me back with you somehow.

Then came the day my sister called, said Gramma passed away
I held the phone up to my ear I didn't know what to say
I didn't want to believe her, I didn't want it to be true
I didn't get to say goodbye, I didn't say I love you.

But for a chance to say those things, Gramma came to me that night
One last time she woke me up, hair black and gown so white
She stood there in my doorway and waved a last goodbye
Though I knew she was alright I couldn't help but cry

I knew I would always love her and I'd miss having her around
and I knew I'd miss her stories, I wish I'd have written them down
No more will I hear her laughter, no more will I see her tears
I'm glad she gave me my own stories to pass down through the years.

The Walk Upstairs

Finished off the casseroles
a while ago;
actually gave them to
someone with an appetite.
The neighbors have taken
your parking space.
The hallway’s unlit now,
but I still see the unhappiness in the mirror
even in the dark.
You always left the light on.
I cling to the railing;
it’s caught me more than once.
Each step leaves me breathless,
each ascent lifeless –
stranded and abandoned
without even a shadow.
It’s just as you left it inside.
I haven’t dirtied a dish.
The calendar still says June;
only the clock moves on –
ticking countdown.
Sometimes it’s too much
so I sleep outside the door
and guard what you left behind –
protect what was.
Slumber reunites us,
but daylight exposes me.
And the pity’s infected their whispers.

Human Frailty

You never knew
what it was like to be bruised.
So obviously broken,
exposed to the open.

Sutures from past scars you hide
like nakedness in your eyes.
Something to be ashamed of.
Something to rise above.

Such a beautiful thing 
is human frailty.
What a relief
to learn I'm only me.

The world's success doesn't start with me.
Other's stress has nothing to do with me.
The weight of the earth doesn't rest on me.
After all I'm only...me.

Deilcate and fragile qualities
molded, taught and made me
who I am
who I am.

Please God, 
make me weak for love.
Make me sad for loss.
Make me lose it all.
Make me feel so small.
Make me cry too long.

But God, don't make me strong.

"blood In Vain Falls Heavy"

Nothing hurts me now, been the one to fall, painless, no feelings for my friends, not caring for the family
I once died for, another mind, another perspective, nothing holding me back, my time wasted building a life, 
now is gone, breaking every promise i now hate this, gone by for blood, searching for the horizon, theres 
nothing to look inside my chest, you wont even find the minimum, my soul, in vain i fought, i didnt wanted 
money either the world, just respect, my tribute offered for faithless, i dont have eyes for this anymore, get 
up and leave this room, dont talk to me with pity on your broken tone, i dont care if you offer me your soul or 
your slavery, leave, i dont need you here, dont look my way anymore, dont even ask about me again, i hang 
my feelings nights ago, i suffocated my heart with good memories days ago, i forgot the man i was, become a 
cold and reckless one, my cold instinct blinds the wind you breath, heavy fall to my dark little world, far gone 
from this land, far gone for this place, out of your side and out of your mind, your now left alone in this life 
with no one to cry too or to talk too, long rest the man i was, he is dead, gone, dont mourn for him, dont 
write about him and dont talk about him, is over for You and your pityful little game.

Long rest the feelings tonight!

Home

Praying for better days, praying for another way. 
For I've gone astray, unable to see the light of day
, who to call, can someone come help. 
No sense of direction, no energy, I have nothing left in me. 
My hands are folded, my mind is roaming, my heart is full, my soul is loaded.  
So now I've come to my stopping point.
 I'm tired, I need rest, my soul is stress, overall I'm depressed. 
I refuse to make another step, for I'm determined to get back where I need to be. 
Too many mistakes, so many problems, has caused me pain, no sunshine, nothing 
but rain.
 So someone please help me, show me the way, guide me to the place that I 
belong. 
Guide Me Home

Fragile Memory

"Let me down..."
"Let me down..."
Echoes through my head,
It's all that I remember
Of what someone
Once Said.

Race Me If You Dare

I have a weapon as you can see
Leave me alone and let me be

Going fast is my greatest need
I was designed for high speed 

So far ahead on the final lap 
I can afford to take a nap

So race me if you dare
I'm not a tortoise I'm a hare

Behind the Anger

I’m angry
at God, my friends, but mostly
myself. 
Each day, I wake up
wondering what my purpose is
and why I belong
with you, with him, with them
Or just why I belong…
here.
Everyday
I walk further…
Further away from reality,
from happiness,
from truth
Just to get a moment of silence
from the noise of obligation,
responsibility and commitment…
and all the things I need,
but can’t handle.
I walk towards darkness,
where no one can see the tears,
where I can fade away 
and be forgotten.
I live a life in which
I am loved so dearly
beyond my knowledge…
Loved so much that now,
they’ll start to hate me.
Because everyday
that I make it easier on myself,
I make it harder on them.
And without a word, 
I know…
that they’re hurting inside
and when I catch them looking
I don’t wanna smile
I don’t wanna give them false hope
that I’d finally be the person
they want me to be.
And in my anger, I hope to hide
that deep down, I’m hurting too.
Because it’ll only hurt them more.
I only hurt the ones who love me most
So when my eyes meet theirs,
I beg for them to hate me
Because then, maybe…
They can let me go

Silence of Him

The Silence of You
The clock strikes
Another hour gone by
Forever lost
In the darkness of eternity.

The rain falls
Lightly tapping  on my window
Softly lapping-
As if it just wants me to listen. 

I feel the surge of energy
Run from my head to my toes
My heart racing
My palms sweating.

The sensation of the blade
Cold 
Hard
Raw
Makes me shiver.

It runs slowly 
Along my neck
Tempting me- teasing
Just begging to be used

I hear the thunder roar
The leaves rustle in frustration
I ruin my fingers along
The handle.

As I dream
Of an imaginary reality
I lose myself for a moment
Consumed with memories

Of You.

I savagely slice my heart
Open
I scream as blood pools around me
Holding me prisoner.

I am lost
In pain
It owns me
To it I am a slave.
As I feel the blackness
Filling my mind
I see your eyes
I feel your heart.

The passion, love
Now untouchable
Then comes
The Silence

Premium Member Lost

In my dreams
I'm forever walking around
Lost in a big city
Trying to find something way out somewhere
Walking
Never in a car

Although    one time I was flying
Flying around corners that went    nowhere
But what a wonderful dream
To be flying
To be REALLY flying
Just once

Ever since I'm on foot
Wandering the corridors of strange buildings
Asking directions of strangers
Getting strange directions
My destination is always out in the countryside
But    I'm in the big city
Lost

There is a field with cows and horses    sheep    corn    a big willow tree
A rundown wire fence
And in the distance    a two story farm house
This is usually my destination
But vision is blocked
Lost
Lost behind high buildings

When finding possibilities is near
There is a blank space _____________
Then POP!
I'm back where I began
Lost

People have told me I'm searching for God
But this is not what strikes me in the dream
Actually
God is searching for me
Searching from that countryside field
With cows and horses    sheep    corn    a big willow tree full of shade
God is flying around corners that lead nowhere
And God is
Lost
Lost behind tall buildings

Premium Member Up Ahead

I'll climb the old oak
      to look up ahead,
           to see where he went,
                      the land of the dead

                       I'm hopin' to hear
                           him whistle to me,
                                       call out my name- 

                                          "Jamesy over here"

                         it's been a long time
                                since I rode on his shoulders,
                                                     held on to his ears
                                                            as we walked around boulders

                                      he'll have me shake hands
                                                   with all of his friends, hug 
                                                                 Grandpa and Grandma,
                                                                                 .... I miss them too

                                          but mostly my Dad
                                                 I'll be glad to see,
                                                    he loved me a lot

                                                             "with him I'll be free"

I wish I had just one more day,
to say the things I wish to say.

To walk along behind your wheelchair;
How you could out run me just wasn’t fair.

Have our morning coffee; sit and chat,
once again call you an old senile bat.

Millie, I always admired your will to fight.
Talking with you made everything all right.

Funny how nature’s rules centrist and bend;
Millie you were much more than my friend.

You were the mother I so long ago lost,
you taught me how to face and pay life’s cost.

You were always there to lend me an ear;
offer advice, which I shall hold forever dear.

I will miss your voice; raspy from the smokes,
you were one of a kind who loved to tell jokes.

We found my family and we found your son;
two wonderful things, which we got done.

Millie you may have passed but this is no lie,
up inside of my heart you could never die.

The message behind all of these tears I cry;
I will see you later, I will never say goodbye.
