Closure Poems - Poems about Closure

I know you’re still trying to make sense of what happened. Maybe you won’t get all the answers, and maybe that’s not what you need right now. It’s okay to feel heavy this morning. It’s okay if you’re not okay. Letting go without having every reason doesn’t mean you’re giving up. It means you’re choosing...

Piercing the heart, yet, no bloodshed, killing just the same, words. Eyes fixed, frozen like death, discordant silence, reluctant surrender, forlorn, aching expectancy. Imploring, why? Succumbing, melancholy anguish. Deceived. Defeated. Divorced. Divorced, and thus— the walls remain, yet bear no witness, for memory does not ask permission to fade. Time, indifferent to the weight of names, carries neither grievance nor absolution— only motion, only fact. To grieve what was lost is to argue with...

I create shelter inside my head Constantly seeking external validation and words of affirmation Perpetuating these routines and these words Unconditionally curious for the future: That is what you mean to me Yet I set back the clock and find a time in the cycle Where you love me and I hate myself I scream for help with broken vocal chords And you...

Some people think they can do wrong, offer no apology, then just share time Does pretending it never happened erase it? For the other, it remains a weight, it hurts Issues, always reaching in empty air for closure How does one forgive with no acknowledgement? It's really not difficult to tell the truth But, it's hard for the person who will never...

he knew me in ways i didnt yet know myself saw the sharp edges i hid from the world and traced them gently like they were meant to be held, not feared he knew when silence meant i wasnt fine when my laughter was just a shield never asked me to change, took me whole and only held space for...

Lord, I'm just not sure what to do. For a few moments can I walk with you? My feelings are raw right now, where do I start? Someone I've loved pierced me in my heart. A very close member of my family. Has done some very cruel things to me. I tried many times to make all things right. But the...

I'm sorry for the way things ended, I know it wasn't fair. I remember the moment you left and never looked back, But I look back on us all of the time. I'm sorry you moved on from me like you never even cared, I still read your old text messages to prove you did. I'm sorry I wasn't enough for...

In the glow of a screen, we found each other, two souls adrift in the vastness, spilling into the digital ether, each keystroke a heartbeat, Sometimes, I trace the outline of your face in my imagination, wondering what your laughter sounds like when the world is quiet. I close my...

I hate being the 'incident' of your story Hate how you once made my heart beat so fast Hate how I get a reminder of you Now we're just strangers that sometimes walk past. A memory I can't erase Was getting dull with time Life was getting back to it's pace But a trigger by your sight, not my eye's...

So many years go by as families wait for answers that may never come...

What we seek In the unpleasantness We find in situations, Times or experiences. In the hopes of closure In unfair treatment, Disrespected and hurt To an extent undeserved. We seek a sense of Peace and understanding In releasing it all Before putting things to an end. We seek one final goodbye, Hoping to hear another side Or reasoning for their actions. So we may reach closure. Sometimes, we...

As the business's closure loomed in the distance, Anxiety gripped me tightly, a relentless insistence. Late-night thoughts birthed migraines, a sleepless affair, The shop had been more than a store; it was friendships we'd share. Evenings converged, weekends embraced at the store's cozy nook, I couldn't fathom it all disappearing with a single closing book. But for a moment, a glimmer...

Tears of a weeping willow on a tree lined street in Biloxi indulge my depression. You have earned every emotion you own. Clouds of wisdom pass on the knowledge of the universal truth. Death never looked so inviting as it does to the hopeless. Silence is a teacher waiting in vain for her star pupil....

I am in her way – our love lost. She’s free – yours truly, never again. Heart broken, dreams denied, lesson learnt…unless…...

I heard you’re back in town And you’ve been askin’ about me It’s messin’ with my mind Thought you were better off without me Seems like we go ‘round and ‘round Same old story over and over When I think I’m almost over you And the flame couldn’t get any colder ...
