Best Lovelorn Poems

LOVELORN

Saw a friend of mine the other day
He wasn’t in the mood to play
His face was sad his mood was low
I asked what made him worry so
“Well I’m in love “ the guy told me
"I met this babe--she's fine to see!
Her face is perfect legs...

I had people who feigned friendship…..
I had people, who never loved me,
I had people, who opposed my views always,
And all these are around me.

I had people who were rogue…….
I had people who wanted love;
But when I proposed, they trampled on it.
I had people, who were...

A light amongst the Darkness;
or so I do recall...
An illuminating star burning cold;
with sorrow and all...

Maybe one day I'll have your heart,
The day our magicks won't burn apart.
And it'll just be you and me in this art.

I found solace in your radiant light,
Depression's Malice was...

From morn to friendless night
He tramps the streets
Just in case he might
Come across her he's a tragic sight
But he don't care
Love gives him might
He haunts the cafes and the discos
And the bars so lovelorn
            ...

Dark is deep despair.
Darker is deep love spurned. 
Blue is the sky, but he still loves you,
he doesn’t know why.

Green is his heart, since you left him without a word.
He will wait for your return, till then his eyes will be red.

Days are dreary and...

rivers of tears will
fall, memories left hanging
on living room walls.

Restless awakening behoves my mood
Unrelated, deep dragging thoughts conspire
Surely, my love's doubt of me misconstrudes
Why, my confessions of love all aspire

Depressingly, the day stretches ahead
Twelve hours, 720 minutes
Each passes, so.... slowly, I am so sad
Wrestling my inner demons, life's the pits

Her vision swims... no longer...

Who is thirsty and 
weary?
Who need a wash 
and a bath?
Let him drink from 
my misery.
He will be satisfied 
on my path,
for I have created an 
ocean on my bed
by my daily night 
weeping.
Sorrow scattered my 
head.
Should sorrow be my 
reaping?


Love seem to be 
season....

When once a lovelorn callow swain,
Heartbroken by a maid's rebuff 
Sought balsam for his heart's deep pain, 
Of female wiles had had enough, 
Grave listener at the local pub,
Sat Tom inured to pangs of love, 
Who spoke as lion to his cub 
Or to a...

Empty mass, devoid and vast,
Our parting words will be our last
And, oh, my Heart- in Death to cast!
For I cannot endure to relive the past
If you should go, you will steal my Soul
As half of me would become a hole
And left, sadly, to never know
How...

In the canyon, deep and long,
The brook babbles Nature’s song
The silent, secluded valley profound
Is overflowing with that sound.

Yon the mountain, the meadows green,
With the pond of water still and serene
On the stilly full- moon night
The ripples reflect pallid light.

The black-bees are crooning,
The fireflies are shining,
An...

Since it was you my heart 
was
given
since it was you
In a cloudy night
And a whistling wind
In all thin season
Why today you abash me 
like
dried leaves
You pierce my heart in
shambolic manner
You contempt my heart like
gloomed flowers.
It is you!
The distresses of my mind
Your beauty bisects my 
heart...

I got up from her side
and left her in a manner
she would stop me;

I turned and walked away…
She did not stop me
Neither did she call me back.

Step after faltering step,
I kept wandering away from her,
At each step hoping
She would stop me,
Hoping at any moment
She would...

I left my human body to ascend
And meet my maker and finally rest
But felt alone and without a friend
The divine God with his kindness blessed
And sent my lovelorn ghost back to its nest...
