Desperation Poems - Poems about Desperation

Aching Winds
I touched the sky, left the land Dwindling in the galaxy, I felt your hand. The Perseus sparkling through my eyes The twilight fading between my cries. Your hand helped me climb to my throne Ornately beautiful, a kind of its own! The clock turned by , my sorrows withered The throne was my crown, your hand was my tether. The glorious days...

Please make it stop The hurt The pain The thoughts The loss The emotion The tears She doesn't deserve The words The torment The blame The guilt The stress The anguish I promised there would be No anger No resentment No hatred No pressure No expectations No sadness But it won't stop. The verses keep coming In my heart I know I've kept my promises Though I know it doesn't seem it ...

What do you do when your head feels like a million pounds, your chest is buried underground, where worms and slugs and filth abound, and rocks compound overhead, compounding a heaviness which even the heaviest cannot heave. Where mere moments make a millennia of torment - For sleepless nights make endless days and endless days make immortality - And mine is underground Far Far Underground Where hell itself...

The awful rain
I Loath rain Each drop akin a piercing sword, Like swords dropping from mighty lord Weighing my pain, and ravishing my heart Sharp as light, wrecking my might, Taking me captive as my heart is light, From an extent unknown To depths I've never known And my world? It's all but raining since you left I sit by side of nothing I see the view of...

How to describe in words What i feel? The piano it can spill The music of my heart. But to share the soul in prose? Piano keys are not enough for me They sing of my soul the colour the feel Never the goddam juicy meat. Must i cut myself up? Feed the earth with my many pieces. Finally rise...

calm after storm, XXV
pulse on the roots of my hair spread on the bed i ripped off my sheets to find consolation my fingers bled searched every corner for a crumb of freedom the city stayed saw the blinds shaken from the storm my future is dead. ...

My heart bleeds for you, a crimson tide, For all the joys you've pushed aside. The laughter lost, the sunlit days, The gentle touch, the loving gaze. You chase a path, a twisted way, Ignoring whispers, light of day. The seeds of sorrow, you have sown, A harvest bitter, to be known. One day regret will grip your soul, A heavy weight, beyond control. The...

You say I should/ Pay for my crimes/ But, I'm innocent/ You won't be satisfied/ Till you put/ A bullet in my head/ You call me *****/ Because of my conviction/ But, I don't stoop/ To that level/ I never done that/ But, you won't stop/ Even after my body/ Lays in the ground/ You will always/ Have a reason/ To find fault with me/ You call yourself/ A... Christian/ But, your love for...

Held Together, Falling Apart
I am filled with rage and frustration. I’m doing my best, pushing forward with everything I have, yet I feel forced to halt my own progress. In a tempestuous fury, I question you. I lead, I strive, and every step feels like a battle with you. You have it easy, assuming I’ll shoulder everything while you...

Everything and no one
I gaze at the Highlands’ mountains and try to force myself to feel joy in its entirety. But I can’t. Look how beautifully the sun plays on the rocks like its pressing keys: white for light, black for darkness. And who am I? Darkness, light? Half-shadow? Twilight? I am a cloud....

Ghost
I stare at the ceiling, Lost in soliloquies, Engulfing myself in that feeling. The clock ticks, the breath stops, my heart beats slow down, another smothering desperation. They say “You’re made of memories” then what would I be made of? a nightmarish scream or, to be the sole soul on this path. The ghost of my laugh lingers around reminding me that...

FRAGMENTS
WHAT'S COMFORT? The way you hold me when the world suppress the warm touch when the anxiety triggers pulling me out of the darkness of hollowness telling me to seek comfort from you. Being the sun of my dark sky when I can't find the ray of hope. The way you clean the food bites around my mouth while I...

I closed my eyes
Opportunity presented itself I closed my eyes Learning seemed hard I closed my eyes I pushed open a door to my new start I closed my eyes Nothing worked out I closed my eyes Facing my reality I closed my eyes Losing the worth for which I strived Every waking moment my heart cried However hard I tried I couldn't close my...

In the Shadow Of Sunlight
In the shadow of sunlight In the room of faded gray Under a veil before his sight He tries to shun the light of day On a bed, so cold and lonely That only hears his lonely tune He braves the heat alone and solely Like a foot bound in sand of dune TBC ...

Our first talk
I still remember our first talk, A memory stuck in my mind, Like a sinner to his sin, Bless the man who revealed the secrets of love, I now know I'm an addict An addict of his laughs, An addict of his words, His smiles, His talks, His jokes, His smell, an addict to him... I...
