Losing Poems - Poems about Losing

As my eyesight dims nature's colors shaded whims books treasured, now unread, may not forge the future ahead. I would give the words away but I know too well today how few of them would find a place where the messages could flow safe; Walden's pond, Leaves of Grass, the Caged Bird, Beloved......

There comes a dusk we do not choose, A hush that steals the flame from fight, When even victors seem to lose In shadows cast by fading light. The moment comes with silent tread, No trumpet sounds, no grand farewell— Just echoes where our hopes have fled, A ringing we remember well. What dreams we held like sacred thread Unravel...

For me life is suppose to be a fight between you and yourself. A fight to the death, were you’re supposed to push for success. Only after when you came face to face with your greatest enemy, Which in this case, the greatest enemy of yourself is yourself. Sky is the limit only applies to those who are ready...

I misplaced my pink glasses, I had put them on a shelf. Had the fey come along and taken them – a faerie or an elf? I looked all over, getting frustrated up to a ten or an eleven. My husband said, “look up, as if you are looking to heaven.” I looked up and up and up and...

The thought of losing you has left me insane. The idea of you not being in my life has made me weak. I know distance and time has blocked us, but not at one time have I not thought of you. I love you....

I survived even after losing' I was that girl, who was afraid of questions, But life taught me to become the answer. In the house where voices were suppressed, There I made my identity with silence. I broke down, but did not fall apart, She embraced every pain, but did not complain to anyone. When my own people trampled my hopes, I bowed...

I wander where the afternoons were so warm and golden and wonder why pleasant woods and beautiful lakes desert me leaving just trees and water I wander where the orange sunset painted the purple sky and wonder why The awe at the light show leaves my heart I become colorblind to nature's art. I go inside to where the parlor was full of happy...

Never be afraid of losing someone If you have done the best for her It's not you who lost her But she's the one who lost you For when she realize the wrong later Surely, she will come back to you If not, she will apologize personally Make amend and show for reconciliation For peace always come after the storm And goodness...

In the stillness of the night, I find, A haunting fear that clouds my mind. What if the day should come too soon, When fate decides to change its tune? Your laughter, like a melody, The anchor to my sanity. Yet shadows loom, and whispers creep, Invading dreams when I should sleep. I clutch your hand, so warm and strong, Afraid that life might...

Hey, Grace. Do you know where I last left my face? Did I happen to leave it in your lap, after taking that quick nap? Or perhaps, after that embrace, did I leave it in your narrow crawlspace? No? Oh, crap! She said, "Oh, that just can't be! This poem has no semblance to reality!" I said, "How can you say that, when...

I'm losing it All of me is fading away My good heart Strong mind My sense Because people ain't getting it People's actions driving me insane. The world Making me crazy Many are so lazy Hurting another To be happy Betraying each other For temporary substance. How do you feel? When it's not you It amuse you Making you better When it's you! It Breaks you Leaving you bitter. ...
