Best Unloved Poems

She cocooned herself
Spinning the thread tightly
Around her troubled mind
Knowing out there
Out there were the people
Who watched her unwind
Who could not be kind
Losing ground
Every day
She fought to stay
Sane
Untouched by pain
She cocooned her mind
Her weak troubled mind
With layer after layer of silken threads
Threads of self defense
From a...

I wanted to love myself
But couldn't get past my reflection
or the recollection
of all my imperfections
It was so much easier 
to turn my back on myself
and go in a different direction

So I poured out myself to others
by giving what little I had to them
I did it...

Where the Unloved Go

On a Sunday afternoon, with skies so blue,
Sweet smell of flowers in the air, what do you do?
Your youth is behind you, your kids are all grown,
Your phone never rings, you just can't stand being alone.
The silence screams so loudly, the clean...

Up in the sky I see God's handiwork
Not the same in my home
Love left so long ago 
Open wounds have healed
Velvet thread was used to sew
Every break in the heart but
Drops of blood leak around each stitch

Unfeeling now each time the hurts
Not the same as...

Further days are passing, lapsing long
Upsetting to unbecoming 
At dawn, always loneliness undaunting 
That continues on...
By inward breaking in

Will it ever come to fruitions end 
The offsetting, untiming, to complete unnerving
This I ask myself, as the sun and I are quickly becoming 
Sinking, drowning friends
Deep...

Memoirs of one unloved

I hear them refer to me as “it” or “the fetus”
Some underdeveloped miniature human, with no established status
For I am trapped in some fluid, apparently I know nothing
But, as strange as it may seem, I do suspect something
I cannot tell my senses...

Do I have to play pretend
that you love me, every time
you're close to me ?

I can feel it when you 
kiss me, this is not how 
it's suppose to be.

I ask you do you love me,
but you just turn away...

Are you with me out of...

UNLOVED AND UNWANTED

An embryo is being formed,
in silence taking place.*
And then is heard, the word “Abort”,
what heard … was no mistake.

What child wants to be dismembered,
in the garbage be thrown?
Sadly unloved and unwanted,
by God only … is known.*

Oh, clothe those loving thoughts in words
Give voice to all that lives inside
For when they simply dormant lie
I must likewise my passion hide.
 
Oh, give utterance to love’s tides
Which now flow unchecked from your eyes
Speak them into existence, Love
Or this poor soul might think them...

What I want taken
fate dealt to me a taste of
then took it away
like a child from its mother,
this anguish pitted so deep.

Whenever you feel your heart broken or unloved
Its because you can't feel a spark in your heart
Most of the time you see someone you know or don't
You ca sometimes fall in love or ignore the feeling
But you can't always denied it forever
When you want to...

Every Day I Die.

Dark shadows cast
Over a cursing clinging damning past
I so want to move forward but the dye was cast
My hands are bound
My feet frozen hopes and dreams are dashed

Drifting aimlessly
All washed up in a turbulent sea
Lifeless
As a lonely barren tree
That once reached for...

Don't let me Fade

If we're walking side by side, take my hand
If we're standing side by side, place your arm around me
If we're sitting side by side, reach out and hold my hand
If we're lying side by side, take me in your arms
If you cannot...

I am strong today
I can look Life in the face
   when she asks
What do you want of me?
   and say
I don't exactly know;
I am searching, strong, and free!

Life leans back, she laughs;
Her green eyes glow
   and she says to...
