Let Down Poems - Poems about Let Down

Mischief Managed

You were anticipating shallow water
Instead you fell in the deep end
This water’s a shade of blue you haven’t seen before 
You forgot that curiosity killed the cat
Explains why you would you go and do a thing like that
Unfortunately there’s a price to pay for waking her 
When you had no intention of staying up late

Why Did You Bother To Come

Why Did You Bother to Come?

You don’t need me
You don’t feed me
And we’re not having fun
Why did you bother to come?

You’re not sharing
You’re not caring
And buy coffee for one
Why did you bother to come?

Did you think it was a holiday
Where you could play
All your little games with me?
Did you think my world so grey
And you

When the Magic Spell Is Broken

When the magic spell is broken and the fog begins to lift.
And the heat of the day breaks through and clarity is no longer adrift.

The damp quickly dries and the light erases doubt.
No longer in the comforting mist things are so clear they shout.

It takes a while to exit that mist when its rose colored

The Let Down

"The Let Down"

it’s never 
what you think 
it’s going to be like,

The Let Down.

rushes in 
and hurts like hell.

after a while
the softness 
in the heart
falls, while 
you look lovingly
over the future
and the pain, 
well, that pain,
is the sweetest
pain you ever
felt.

you feed
the love 
it wants, 
it holds on
for a while
until you're
empty there,

and the fullness
is found in

Let Down

Sharp pain in my side! Big reaction!
For a stabber I'll show no compassion!
I search 'neath my clothes;
Oops! No crime, I suppose
When Sir Underwire is the assassin !

A Letter To the Parents I Let Down

My biggest regret-

Was something that was happening yet.

As I faced off with unreality. 

There was the truth of causality. 

It was hard to recover. 

As there was a reality to uncover. 

That I had given up hope of independence. 

And that now there is a larger fence. 

Between me and the pain I should have

Losing

Our hearts like hammers tripping 
into silent sunbeams slipping,
 we moved, my team and I, 
into time’s immortal gripping.
mourning the quiet passing throngs, 
wafting in the wordless void.
No inspiration given, 
wrapped within precision’s ribbon,
leaving paper cuts so thin 
to bleed our daily loss out loud.
homeward bound, so slowly, 
with our heads reluctant bowed.

Let Down

Expectations in others to be true and loyal only cause frustration
assume you’re alone in any situation you're faced in to go unfazed in happenings cus let down by false faith of reliance supplies the head with whys deception and lies deflating flat friendships breaking ties

No one in life is loyal and true 
no one but

Get-Down Let-Down

GET-DOWN LET-DOWN

He took rhino muzzle excrescence
For boost of his hoped for tumescence
But in spite of big dose
From a pachyderm‘s nose
It was useless with no acquiescence

this i just 
realized 
it hit me 
like a tone 
of bricks 
it was right 
under my 
nose the 
entire time
i could not 
see it before
i did not allow 
myself to come 
to terms with 
my own role 
within this estrangement 
i field to realize before
just how much fault 
i bare in the

Rapunzel Let Down Your Hair

A fearless knight in shining armor
On his way back from battle
Outside a maiden's tower
Climbing her long golden hair
Because she is a prisoner in her own castle

Let Down

Before I mean it to happen,
 my helpful words
turn into a battle.

You and the world on your side,
me on the other.
Hey, aren’t we supposed to love each other?

Everything I say flies over your head.
It’s one ear out the other.
While tears drip down my cheeks.

Bitter tears because I know it’s my fault.

It is my fault for

After Christmas Let Down

The after Christmas “let down” is upon us
All the hype is over, back to life's regular stuff
Let's keep it alive
Let happiness survive
We can do it no matter how difficult or tough

Let Down

I counted on you when the chips were down,
as the insurance spins me round and round.
I looked to you as a guiding light,
I find my trust was not placed right.
What happened here? I'd like to know,
as you read to me what the report did show.
You can not back me this I fear.
You want no confrontation
