Devastating Poems | Examples


Does Your Significant Other Have Borderline Personality Disorder

In shadows cast by fractured minds, a dance,
Borderline whispers, a tumultuous trance.
Emotions veer, a rollercoaster ride,
For those who stand close, by love's sweet side.

A storm within, tempests of the mind,
Identity fractures, elusive to find.
From highs to lows, a relentless ride,
BPD's grip, where emotions collide.

Intense connections, yet fears of abandon,
Chaotic relationships, a heart's wild abandon.
Impulsive acts, a desperate plea,
Affects the ties that bind, one's sympathy.

In this turmoil, empathy must reside,
For those touched by BPD, love is their guide.
Through therapy's art and patience, so kind,
Hope blooms, a healing, for hearts entwined.

It's Devastating How

It's devastating how...
From being the closest of friends, we are strangers now.
Well, I admit you're not the only one to blame.
I wish I hadn't turned a blind eye to your games.
I always pretended to be alright in front of you.
But I find it hard to imagine you with someone new.

It's devastating how
She's the one you adore now.
You act as if it was all my fault.
I failed to realize that this was your default.
I won't lie; she's far prettier and funnier than me.
I guess we weren't just meant to be.

It's devastating how...
I'm alone now.
I realize now that you've only come to me for favors.
It was stupid of me to ignore your behavior.
Your memories become my nightmares every night.
As usual, I just shrugged it off by uttering "alright."

It's clearly devastating how...
No one is ever going to be by my side now.
I thought you wouldn't leave me when I was surrounded by some horrible beings.
However, you recently became one too and hurt my feelings.
But I'll make an effort to let go and go on like you.
Maybe someday I'll be happy too.

Novalis

nor our whispered word
or smiles screams tears matter
you me we nothing
but avalanche of blood yes
time crushing everything yeah
and the heavy hot sun he too
because everything is empty of the past
absent from the future
just this quick present
uncertain
unclean
devastating

The Devastating Storms

Early in the twenty first century morning
No sooner had many got up and had breakfast 
Than began the eastern devastating and murderous storms
Fiercely at speed and in powers
Are lasting for long times non-stoppingly
Murdering the victims and devastating the towers,
The waves spread to the west, the north, the south
And all over the world
To shake all
All are shaking yet.

Devastating Release

The low drone of the plane echoed
Oh no...
The bomb was secured and ready to drop
Dear God...
Unsuspecting souls; things they don't know
Far below
Atomic charge released, suspended
Can't comprehend
This war that raged for so long
Stop!
Whistling down at shocking speed
Peace!
Touched the ground, in an instant
Nonexistent
Vaporized people who no longer stand
Japan...
No soul that could foresee
Such tragedy 
The story of horror known as the second World War

Devastating

I guess I'll wait, It's all I'll ever do
Leaning on the wind one night
I swear I thought I saw you

But I didn't, It was just another star
Riding on the clouds alone -
Wondering who they are

But I missed you, Couldn't you tell?
Lying awake withe movies on mute
All alone in hell

Devastating...Goodbye

So I'll wait, I've gotten very good at it
It's all I'll ever do
Sit and wait, And watch the paint
Until I hear the news
 
That you've changed, or at least the world has...
That you've paid what you owe from the past...
So i'll wait...It's all I'll ever have

Devastating...Goodbye

The Devastating Whim

You were like a queen
Of a fairy tale
Looking for a king
To love and feel well
I was a poor guy
But fell in love with you
I waited for you
To come and love me too
I killed my precious time
Dreaming fruitless dream
Now I repent for that
Devastating whim

Devastating Mother's Day

This mother's day is a day of tears and visions
Once again I have lost a miracle
A miracle and creation of life growing within me
Tears are all I can shed
Visions are all I have left
My smile turned upside down is the same feeling of my world
God works in mysterious ways
He only hands you something you can handle
Hmm
To have made a life on valentines day only to have it taken from me on mother's 
day
Truly how sad is that
Can't pick one word to express such a devastating blow
All in time I tell myself
Nothing comes before it's time
This mother's day I shed tears of my hope for a healthy baby that I shall never see
God Bless all of you have experienced the same pain

Devastating War

The grasshopper could have sung his song
uninterrupted 
Had not the bomb blown off the lawn.
