Best Sad Life Poems


A Broken Lover
People look her way
But they don’t understand
No one knows the pain she’s felt
The tears she’s cried
And the life that has died.

There was once a time
When the love was alive
The tears never came 
And the smile never faded

The girl up above was the one who knew...

Handling Reality
Reliving painful moments every single day
Envying other's fortune
Always wanting the love of another
Loving people who will never care
Inviting things into your life that you can't handle
Trying to forgive while dealing with more pain
Yearning for the perfect life that no one will ever have...

Only In Dreams
I had the strangest feeling
Wanting to live in dreams
But its only there I could have her
The lady I love so true
It makes me feel so blue
That I could have her only in my dreams

And when the night has ended 
And the day has began
I turn...

Yours
I understand
the need for redemption
when all they do is ask about me
and the phone company has never
even heard your voice.

The scar on your leg
hasn't yet faded from our accident
four years ago (you study those
scars every day, as if searching
for blame)

and you find it

buried beneath cobwebs...

Crawl Into Me
Scattering into broken pieces
Of debris,
My life has become a black painting
Of nothingness,

Within myself I see,
 You concealing me,
I feel droplets of misery
Crawling into me, to simply become…
Me… 

I wonder if my tears
Could water the eternal desiccation,
That fills my life with hopelessness…
When will “I” reappear?

Nothing but...

Celebrity
As the car door opens, she steps out.
She is beautiful, beyond all doubt.
Her dress is as elegant as a ballerina’s dance.
All eyes on her, gazing in trance.
Her audience applauds her as she walks by.
She fakes a smile when she wants to cry.
She wants to escape...

To Whom It May Concern
To whom it may concern
I'm already prepared to learn,
To learn the life, life long teaching
There are some goals I need to be reaching
People tells me that, I'm all so young
Really, there's no need to be concern,
So curious adult life could be
But they keep saying relax...

Forgotten World
Life in this forgotten world 
Here noboby care's 
Nobody shares 
No one reaches out a hand to hold 
Nothings ever peaceful 
Nothings ever safe
Life is not really life in this forgotten world
Darkness is always around you 
And evil consumes you 
There is no life in...

Lost Little Girl
There's a lost little girl
Roaming this world
Searching for truth and for love
Aimlessly seeking
Never reaping
All she is deserving of

There's a lost little girl
Giving life a whirl
While living her life all alone
Hidden inside
Is where she resides
Ever since she's been on her own

The little girl's life
Has been about...

Lonely
Drowning out the noise, running to hide 
Not a care in the world, no one by my side 
It’s just another day, another lesson learned
Like pages of a novel, another one turned 
Walk away from the past, no need to look back 
Ticket in hand...

The Number
if i could count the number of tears
i have cried for you over the years
it  would probably be in the millions
maybe even in the billions
please dont get me wrong
my life goes on because i am strong
somedays i even have a good day
and think maybe...

My Life
I wish I had a life of my own,

Maybe that wont happen until I get grown.

At my grandma's house was the place I was free,

But it look like my mamma took that freedom away from me.

Maybe my life was meant to be like this,

Balled up...

Sympathize
Swallow me,
Like the air you inhale,
And exhale the broken pieces of my soul
To cherish me in you, 
Forever…

Swim in my eyes,
And drown yourself into my sorrow,
Sacrifice your life to sympathize,
Try to live my life of disguise,

Bleed like me,
Live in the reflection of my wounds,
Allay my...

A True Story of a Helping Hand
One night a young man appeared at my door,
It seemed he had troubles I couldn't ignore.
Some water and a phone call was all he asked for,
Yet somewhat reluctant, I opened the door.
As I listened, he told me a little about his life,
And I could plainly...

Hope
Here lives a girl, whose life was out of 
proportion.

Used to have a baby; but decided on an 
abortion.

Her boyfriend just left her, told her it 
was over.

Now the baby's gone, he's telling her how 
much he loves her.

She only has a few relatives and...
