Hurt Poems | Examples of Hurt Poetry

Tears running down my precious face. I'm slowly melting as my heart erases. My heart has been stabbed several times. I'm down on my knees trying to unwind. I feel guilt in my soul that I can't control. You left me shredded apart and not whole. Why torture my heart and my soul? Why leave me in the dark and so...

It was never my intention, not a conscious decision, to cause you any level of grief. Our give and take wasn’t as envisioned. Blindly, I let you fall between my gaps. It’s not right or wrong, but fact that I got lost in a thronged rhythm recovering from things life had given. You have always shone a warm light selflessly bright into my life. Stern...

Too many opinions. Too many people sharing their minds. Is it too hard to sit and think before you speak? Don’t you think our own conscience cuts us down enough? Or maybe you don’t care. Little do you know, I am my hardest critic. I want to do my best, yet my best isn’t enough....

A mosquito once cried Why do you all always Clap your hands Whenever you see any of us Some of you buy chemicals To get rid of us When you all know we're harmless and homeless. An insecticide Screamed from a corner You're big liar You blood sucking vampires Not just that You also go around Spreading diseases; eg malaria. A human replied You're...

Vindication’s Dawn My soul does not crave the blade of vengeance, Its fleeting sting, a hollow roar. No, I seek the fire of vindication, A truth that shakes the heavens’ core. The universe, vast and woven tight, Holds every tear, each whispered plea. Its threads are bound by moral might, A tapestry the Almighty sees. No wrath of mine could right the wrong, No mortal...

Each wound I have suffered in my life so far Has taken so long to form a battle scar But what doesn't kill me, they say, will make me stronger still And every wound I suffer will eventually heal Pre-chorus: This is the silent language of scars You can read my soul like Braille And for each sad story, for every sad...

The feelings of the mind are hidden behind the clouds Unexpected changes abound in the storm The steps have been taken on a path without turning Life's lessons have taught me the way to walk Crazy thoughts have forgotten the lessons learned Chasing dreams that didn't come true The desires of the youth have gone astray...

I open the door, I made sure to smile . Although each one has been forced quite a while. Calm yourself , I say to myself and bury my thoughts in the sand. I'm already talking too much, I try not too, and I want to prove that I can. I feel stupid when you...

Yours Without Having You" As solitude surrounds me, I still feel the whispers... of your presence. Soft. Haunting. Like a memory... not yet made. In a fleeting moment of joy, you hush my fears. You stir… a calm I never knew lived in me. Then An epiphany strikes. Like the sun, piercing my skin. Sudden. Warm. Unforgettable. But still a deep sadness lingers in my soul. Because I know... I can never call you mine. Resilience? Baby… it slips through my fingers like smoke. I...

Have you seen a better fool like me? A dimwitted dreary buffoon like me? Buffoonery has its limits, ridiculous, But for me it's monotonous. I never change, I'm always the same, It's such a shallow shame! Yes, I am the one to blame. I see politeness wearing A fancy pair of friendship earrings. Who does that? An acrobat, a bubbly brat! Who thinks that a...

In the shadow of an eclipse, where worry takes its flight, The burden of strife can weigh you down, Yet in each moment of pain, in the depths of sorrow’s night, A spark of sunshine glimmers, a whispering sound. When loss feels like a mountain, an insurmountable wall, And anguish...
