Best Pain And Love Poems


Premium Member White Lily Against Black Background
Piano music plays.
Soft notes emote mid air,
like tear-stung doves they fly 
in atmosphere of fog.
The clouds, they shroud the sky. 

Piano music plays, 
the keys, they seize my blues—
the depth of blue, so vast.
Poetic ivories 
harassed… recite the past. 

Piano music plays.
Dull echoes haunt the...

Come Hell Or High Water
She looks out the window and sees him in the distance. 
So much fear inside leaves no room for resistance. 
If she ran right now she might be able to get away. 
With every broken rib she's nothing more than a cliche. 
She was once...

I Need Time To Heal
Tell me why, but tell me True-
Spare me the heartbreak of a Lie
I would lay forever in these meadows...
Forever, until I die!
To rid myself of all the Pain,
And the Sorrows of what I feel
To ease my Mind, my worried Brain
(Lord! The Cuts! I need to...

Day By Day
Waning love is a cold diamond thing
The hurt pressure 
from the thought of losing you
is such a hard burden
Squeezing the hope out of me

Heavy-hearted acceptance ain’t easy,
especially when the weeping pang of separation 
comes prematurely rushing through

Day by day,
I get premonition pulse signals of distress

Diamond...

Premium Member Here Comes the Bride
Standing at the church awaiting his bride,
‘twas meant to be the best day of his life;
When she arrives, she is not by his side.

His bitter tears he can no longer hide,
grieving for the one due to be his wife. 
Standing at the church awaiting his...

Your pain

Why do I feel your pain still

When I left of my own free will

My mind is heavy with the burdens you build

Yet my heart is still tender

And vulnerable to your every will

When you’re hurting and making bad choices

Your voice still touches my every emotion

How...

Unrequited Love
Why did everything had to happen this way?
Why do I still think of it? It's over anyway.
Of your heart, I always wanted to be a part.
Unrequited, fallen to the ground, is my heart shattered apart.

One might be strong to collect those pieces fallen.
But to join...

Why Does It Have To Hurt So Bad
Why does it have?
To hurt so bad
When we all know
That in the end
We’re nothing but sad
Falling in love
You think you’d be happy
Like nothing else matters
We become all sappy
It starts out amazing
When it feels so real
But all that we’ve been handed
Is just such a shitty deal
Play...

Skeleton In My Closet
Skeleton in my Closet 
  
I had many sleepless nights 
And walked a painful path 
Sorrow, heartache and pain 
I remembered from my past 
I've done many things 
I know wasn't right 
And the skeletons in my closet 
Came back to hunt my life...

I Love You But
I love you but I need to let you go
You are poison to my heart and death to me soul
You fill me with promises of happy ever afters
In reality they're words of ever ending disasters
You say you love me and I'm your soul-mate
You told me...

M
Open mind and open heart,
I knew i loved you from the start.
Forgot the poison you became, 
you carved my heart and etched my brain.
My aim was true, 
my arrow missed,
I close my eyes and bite my fist.
You drag your feet across my floor,
please don't forget...

Premium Member Where Every Footstep Cracks
WHERE EVERY FOOTSTEP CRACKS

Walking on ice, where every footstep cracks
Frozen toes in socks that once were warm
Every snowflake on my frigid curls stack

I never meant to do anyone any harm
Every step I take, my disappearing feet
Frozen toes in socks that once were warm

I tried to...

Bewildered and Woefully Wilted
i prefer to remember you like this
there was a time when this space was meant only for us
now we created a hole that allowed grief and stress
we are now shades of our former selves living in oblivion within ourselves
i am on a roller coaster ride...

Dont Get Closer So Much, Dont Attach Too Close
Don’t get closer so much,
Don’t attach too close;
Don’t give heart so much,
They pierce it, tear it apart,
before sever from you;
Don’t love anyone so much,
Don’t give your heart to none;
Wound will bleed, pain will hurt, 
When you watch them play, 
Kick, bounce and twirl your heart,
Treat...

My End Is Your New Beginning
And then in midst of summer's lore
I sang a tune of hail and gloom
Of dark and light and so much more
Of pain and sorrow, and of plume

Oh, darling, you walk through a muddy bog
But my sweet, I can't save you now
Still, I promise I won't...
