Loneliness Poems | Examples of Loneliness Poetry

What if the rain dries out before my eyes, missing the constant memories a ghost, a lonely pavement sidewalk. We step backwards I wish to be and feel lucky and not wasted on Coopers Sparkling Ale. Push me over, into the sewer gates, will they finally accept my form, as my physical skinniness accept me down in their filth and broken....

In my childhood, I had no siblings, cousins or friends to play or spend time with me Therefore, the homebody I was naturally delighted in my own company, relationship free But while growing up the occasional feelings of loneliness would not leave me alone I felt as if the sun had melted my delicious ice-cream and left nothing but an empty cone....

Once upon a time long gone … The reigning queen let out a yawn, And stood up from her regal throne To trample down the hall alone She ripped the crown from out her hair And flung it out the window there, It tumbled down the castle wall … No knight or king did hear it fall And off the ground it did...

Not even grief visits this place. Only the soft slosh of my own voice inside my skull. The world speaks in neon, in bills, in news tickers, but never says my name. I left pieces of myself in lovers’ beds, in rented rooms, in smoke. But they never bled for me like I bled for no one. Now I sit by the window, half-blind, full-heart, writing poems that disappear faster than...

To Die I numb my brain to ease the pain The world is mad...a new insane Compassion's seen with such disdain The truth now seems so very plain To die would be considered gain *********************************** Alone Alone, alone...always alone The pain I feel cannot be known This heart of flesh has turned to stone Alone, alone...I am alone Alone, alone...always alone My dreams on wistful wings have...

Her loneliness begs Mine: O come sometime to meet. Scared, it might lay eggs, I hesitate to commit And try from far off to greet. _____________________ Tanka (tongue-in-cheek) | 04.08.2025 | loneliness ...

She was not invited She was arranged They never wanted Jasmine not the woman who brought basil-clean hands and pomegranate soap who harmonized soliloquies into pastries while they offered only hinges rusted shut She was not guest She was garnish Not Jasmine the flower but Jasmine the bulb strangled in its own clay frost biting at the marrow buried beneath their polite...

You can never grasp, understand bees keep stinging venom that I bring like constant ringing of your front door bell all these of forgotten echoing of the years what's of a sin I'm selling that light so brightens like new born flashes no tail sweet light stops smiling I'm a familiarity about to die, hornet's pain to bring timeless of photos and those grainy flashes of memories I don't wish to see, lapses bounces on...

Am I on an island launching bottles out to sea beached at the waterline will someone rescue me I'm drowning not waving as the boats go by abandoned at high tide does anyone hear my cry here am I sad to say writing messages in the sand marooned a lonely castaway will somebody lend a hand if I'm on an island...

For: SEASONS NOW AND AFTER Poetry Contest Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Date: August 6, 2025 ***** Somewhere between the summer and the rain you left and left me lonesome once again. The tiger-lily and the bumblebee are pleased to keep their simple company. The young black-tailed deer and her spotted fawn take morning leisure on the fresh mown lawn Two-by-two...

If you cannot overcome lust in the time of grace, What makes you think you will stand in the days without it? For the trumpet is close, the sky ready to split And only the righteous shall be removed from the wrath to come. Flee now while mercy still calls. Run from the screen, the scene, the shadow, the scroll. Run...

I lift my eyes from the place of my struggle, From the dark corners where battles rage unseen. My help comes from the Lord, Maker of heaven, earth, and the depths of my heart. Lust has destroyed more than wine ever could It cloaks itself in pleasure, But its bite is sharper than steel. It kisses the lips, then devours the soul. It...

Is there no match, no pair  for a lonely man? Don't misunderstand him, he doesn't long for a lover... He wants a friend! Is that too much to ask? A friend that might be his wife someday? Someone who could be akin as similar as a long-lost twin Someone like him? Is there no such kindred spirit who will reciprocate love? Inform him if there is...

To simply have a friend is her only wish, She wants to share her time, she's not selfish, Perhaps then someone special to cherish, To have a companion would be a relish. To simply have a friend is all she's asking for, She wants to share her time and maybe more, Someone special: sincere, loyal and pure, Out there is a partner...
