Best Sympathylove Poems


Undercurrent

I could never communicate to you my pain;           it was always hit or miss.
Maybe you sensed where my burden lay,            but far more likely,
You felt this pain at some point in your past.............or future,
and are only recalling your own experience,             your own burden.

Yet it was so obvious I was hurting;             that much you could tell.
So a gentle smile was all you offered,                no words, no hidden meanings.      
Just love and compassion, now and forever..............hurt is universal.
I never wanted you to understand                 what I never understood.

What if time collapsed this paradox?               Our story has been written
What if love saw through these walls?               The characters have been set.

Two opposing undercurrents flow just beneath the surface:
 Love unites, fear divides.

Pain revives the deepest of my heart's confessions;
 It was from your love I chose to hide.

Aaron

God called for you untimely,
  Six and a half years have passed.
But I can still remember,
  The lovely time I saw you last.

You was a welcomed surprise,
  On May 15th, 2002.
But then for some reason,
  The good Lord summoned you.

A feeling I can’t explain,
  The letting go of a son.
He will always be our child,
  We love and miss you Aaron.

I Deserved U

I DESERVED U ?

 

True was My love , U never cared,

Can’t forget those moments which we shared

 

Never lost  faith in the love I had,

That’s the  thing now  makes me mad

 

Y  I loved U so much I always think,

Made My life hell , Swear  I  had no link

 

Forgetting  U is Impossible thing,

Like Flying for the Bird without Wing

 

Things  have changed ,

Figuring out whom to blame

Heart’s Crying ,

Hope U never  have the same

 

Still cursing the Day,

 For which I m paying the cost,

I Loved U ,

And now I m the one whose lost.

 

So,

Would Never want to Fall For that again ,

Love’s the thing , Would always give Pain.

*time Never Ending*

*Time Never Ending*

Life's about chances
Moments to feel
Fear to grasp

She began to party
But,
Heart ach came to others
Sadness came to mothers
That moment that was fun,
Turns out there was a gun

Life's now no fun
Sorrow, aching bodies lie

Her love lying in agony
Thinking there was no life set for her
Begging as the gun points her way
Trebling, and will offer anything
Handing money, giving options
But,

All that was done was from her self
Passed out as the cops come
Hearing talking so, she opens her eyes
No darkness no party
Just a shot side, she wonders

Is it the end?
No screams just peace.

After all was done, she soon lost her mind
Ages 50 and still believe he'll come
Telling others her love will come
Clueless that November 13 was the day that he was done
Having faith, he would come
Yet,
No one can convince to her
She has so much faith
Lost in time she starts again.
Dressed up for the party
The party that was forgotten
Others wonder
Will she ever know?

Poppies Will Soothe Them

You pace the forest with comfortable decadence, seizing a power you have but do not know.
Lying in the sun, the beast comes to take you on, up to the next plateau.
You’re a pinch-kissed cowardly lion, dangling from the hands of destiny’s time.
You seek honesty from the mouth of a friend, a judge whose sentence never fits a crime.
Blood stains a yellow road where love is flooded & washed to sea.
You know, I know there are sharpened rubies in Hell, waiting for me.

You are stuck in formation, congealed with decadence, hoping the sun does not go down.
Before your friends ramble and tease, your cool feet will rust in the ground.
There is oil that keeps you moving. It gives the honor which makes wrong right.
Now your tinny eyes are frozen, transfixed on the pinch of a needle’s bite.
Your friends are coming now to give a heart which they bestrode.
It is there love never blossoms, in the roots that they have sowed.

You are dancing when not decadent, yet ignorant in vain,
And your friends drip with despair so that they’re feeding from your brain.
Remember - vended produce fills you up – knowledge bestowed.
Although it may never help you, take an apple for the road.
God has cast a lively ember on the straw of this attire.
So let your friends come dote upon the contents of the fire.

Sleep soundly in your decadence, with red to match your shoes.
While lost inside the daydream, play a game that you only lose.
Look for the good witch, beckoning as every intent steals,
And spend your last days muttering to yourself, clicking your heels.
Into the dawn you will discover nothing as you go
In search of homely comfort beyond, over the rainbow.

Awake among the poppies, we can find you in dream
Where the turning of an hourglass exhumes your private seam.
A hero in a dart places himself upon your wall,
As we can only watch it from this tiny crystal ball.
Up close, true friends are crying and scolding in their attack,
But I can see few good witches smiling in the back.

Outside Looking In

Looking from the outside
Guessing about what's going on on the inside

Not knowing that it goes deeper than the eye can hold
I get so quick to judge before I hear the story told

Asking sensible simple questions of why
In return, replying with an answer that they believe but we know it's a lie

Why this?
Why that?

Love doesn't come in a clenched fist
You're not a punching bag so pack your bags and get out of that

Reflection of a black eye
Shouldn't be what I see when I look into your eyes

Why should I have sympathy
When you refuse the help offered from me

I want to help you
But his tough love not only has you blind, but deaf too

Please listen to me
'Cause we have enough families crying over lifeless bodies

Fighting you
Is not a way to love you


Remember Daddy

There is nothing that we can say
to make us feel at ease;
We will miss you dad,
more than anyone could see.

We know that there were times
that we did not get along;
There were words we may have spoken 
that weren't meant to be;
But we all knew what we truely felt
and that was our father/daughter love.

Remember when you married mom?
We have more great memories of you
like the one of Rose and the hog,
and Sport with the rubber roo's.
Those are just a few of the great
things to remember of you.

Growing up was tough for us
because you weren't always there;
But now we see that was not
the way you had it planned;
Things happen for a reason
no matter what they may be.
We know you love us daddy, 
and are always proud.

You will be missed sweet father;
What we wouldn't give 
for one more hug and kiss 
or to be able to say
"we love you daddy" 
instead of you being missed.

We will never forget You!

What Exactly Are You Saying

You love this man you claim, But still you flirt with others
On your hand, tattooed his name, Saying I love you is hardly the same

Getting drunk to feel alive, Solely but slowly your dying inside
Talk is cheap you say, Actions are what's real
The cards are on the table and it's time for you to deal

I tried to help you , All I could
And understanding, I thought you would
My trusting you would be, A great mistake indeed

Weak I know you're not, It's lazy that you are
I'm not trying to be rude, Or hurt you in any way
The difference in my mood, I want to see you live another day

You choose to live, or you choose to die
It's not up to me, not anymore
I gave you the options but the choices are yours

I'm looking at you, And all I can see
Is a disturbed little girl, As fragile as can be

You ruined your life, When you began to drink
You hurt your children, Why didn't you think?
With alcohol and drugs , There's no way out
You'll always scream and shout about
You against the world, That is how you see
And all your loyal friends became enemies

You can't tell the day, You can't tell the time
All you can tell is what color -
Color of wine it is that your drinking
You lost all touch with reality...

The Pain You Cause

Don’t you see it’s unfair so mean
To split a child’s peaceful family so
Have anger at what our world has been
But never kill; never commit an act so low

No excuse for the endless lives lost
No justice can ever be too much
Because you need to understand the cost
The tears and despair that was left by your touch

But you still act mighty and high
Though people suffer by your act
You make this the last goodbye
Because of the humanity you lack

Don’t you hear the screams and cries?
The terror, despair as you topple this tower
But you know not the person who dies
Do you think that gives you right to this power?

You love no one nor do they love you
You cause misery with this fear
But this is your life, this is what you do
You never notice the peace that is near

Everything you touch turns to ash
Well done you’re on the news again
You made more sorrow and now you crash
You leave in your wake a horror so insane
