Dark Sad Poems - Poems about Dark Sad

I'm stalking the ground. Treading the lines between, half human and distorted frequency. Slowly I recede. I'm chocked off from everything. A distant recollection, an obligated memory. I barely made out. Shadows of insecurity obscure my mind. Fruition in a haze of lies. Ill reanimate. I'll tell myself anything. I'm losing my soul and it's the...

He glances ‘round the crowded room, Where laughter sparks and joy resumes. He plays along, a practiced mime— Lifts his lips, but not in time. For somewhere deep, his mind has flown, His soul long gone, he stands alone. What’s left behind, a hollow frame— A shadowed man without a name. And oh, You cannot feign what isn’t true. So smiles, like paint, began to...

The world was gray, a lonely ,dark space, Where joy had fled, leaving no joyful trace. They called me kind, a heart of purest gold, But kindness, it seemed, had grown strangely cold. They'd praise my soul, then turn and walk away, Ignoring me, day after endless day. I yearned for solace, a hand to hold so tight, But found only shadows...

Perpetual Intellectual Mother Just another Smother, then cover “Too weak to recover” “Be our good maid” “Just to be betrayed” “Don’t give her a voice!” It’s not love if there’s no choice. To deal with perpetual self-assertion The old sisterhood of overexertion! Sarah Baartman Wu Zetian Cleopatra Anne Boleyn Joan of Arc Sophie Scholl Sylvia Plath Marilyn Monroe Micaela Bastidas Yang Guifei Fate bestowed a bitter gift A curse more grave than death’s drift A life where they were...

Desolate... The wind howls through hollow trees, empty echoes in barren land, where time forgets to leave its hand. Desolate... Footsteps fade on dust-strewn ground, no voices call, no whispers sound, only silence, vast and unbound. Desolate... The sky weeps with ashen tears, stars extinguished, lost to night, a world consumed, devoid of light. Desolate... Shadows stretch where none remain, forgotten names on crumbled stone, and you walk this path...

It’s a harsh cold winter You’re gone and I’m so bitter I sat front-row seat As I watched our love wither Heart gouged by the splinters You’ve silenced your ringer And my feelings for you Oh, they still linger… It’s a harsh cold winter Choked sobs and silent whimpers Sparks of love burned out Leaving ashes and cinder Sleepless nights Bottles of whiskey Skipped meals My love, do...

The Fallen and Forgotten/ Used to be infamous/ Soldiers of the streets/ No matter how you going out with a bang/ You will be forgotten/ Your name to be added/ To the list of the fallen/ There's no going back/ Everyone gave you respect/ On the streets/ If not, a dose of reality will check you/ It's fine to be wanted/ And a big shot/ But, I will...

Looking back, I see a trail of regrets, A path littered with mistakes I can't forget. If only I could turn back the hands of time, Would my life today be more sublime? Oh, the bad decisions I've made along the way, Leaving me wondering what could have been today. I should have known better, I can't help but sigh, But dwelling...

It's been a long time since a smile graced this face, the voices say, 'The pain will go away.' Wearing a mask to cover the decay, the voices say, 'Embrace the pain.' Been strong for so long to see what remains, the voices say, 'The pain always stays.' The sun is setting, and it's growing cold outside, the...

My Love awaits a heart— To hold As Souls are meant in pairs— Mere death’s lone wink This way finds My Embrace—as it fares— Still Hate does flow within— These walls I fight off as it sears— The breath of Love abides— It calls Though falling on deaf ears— *I wrote this poem on January 4, 2024, as part of a ’30 days...

Pride jumped into a frightening battle, Too selfish, this war was never settled, Almost so dark, felt like stars would rattle. Inside, pride’s heart and spirit were mettled. Pride rejected kindness and charity, She listened to the dark world of conceit, While I avoided her sincerity, Knowing her dark vengeance was bittersweet. Refusing to heed soul’s humility, Pride, she’d surely bleed the murkiest grief, Battling...
