Love Sad Poems

To The One I Leave Behind

To you, the one I leave behind, I write,
Not clothed in grief, but wrapped in tender song.
Though parting comes, as surely comes the night,
Our souls have known a bond both deep and strong.

No tear can dim the love that once was ours,
Nor silence steal the echoes of your name.
I go where time dissolves like falling

Long Winter Coming

I see a long winter coming
(yes, I know)
the dull gray spreads ahead of me,
there ain’t no use in running
(if I could)
from yourself you can never flee.

There’s a long winter coming
(how’d I know)
you’d take it to such an extreme,
thought that we were something,
(yes, you did)
when to ‘benefits’ we agreed.

…Oh, the lies we tell,
to fake peace with

You And I

In blue water I'm going down
swept away by the tide all sense left behind
in dark waters I might drown
caught in the current out of my mind
holding my breath and hoping
my love for you will stand the test of time
out of my depth and hanging on
for the day you say you are mine
in over my head

To Block And Let Go

Have you not wondered why we close the door,
Why silence wraps the ones we used to crave?
Not out of spite, or pride, or keeping score
But just to stop the heart from being brave.

For if I see your name, I start to reach,
My fingers trace the hope I try to hide.
An anxious heart, no logic it

The Traffic Moves On, So Do I

The Traffic Moves On, So Do I

I
Stuck on the road full of a heavy traffic
Inch by inch , no movements are automatic
Drivers do rant, shouting their personal tactic
Someone says “hey, go ahead.. damn pathetic”

II
That loud voices echoed in my ears
Recognize voices who caused my unstoppable tears
The pain of betrayal that brings back my fears
And carry

I Loved You Until You Said That

I was oh for once so happy.
'Til you said you could never love me.

Pass Away - Haiku - Tanka

The dead that now know
God's move in ~predestined~ wind
Sift through the free grass.

You must be longer
in there than I am this staid.
Above you, to leave
Where distant dogs bark, since then
My fallen soul buries rest.

Response to love letter

Dear Eos,

I
wish I still felt passion in my heart toward 
the generous soul that you are.

You always saw beauty in the world 
and painted strokes of life 
with a brush of sweetness and delight.

I
am sorry for the suffering life's put you through.
The heart is a fickle thing. It simply was not meant to be.

We've walked

Black hole

Why can’t I exist without you? Each time I try to leave you suck me back up into your blackhole. 
Can’t help but love you for the way you make me feel
it’s like a loop of love and I’m stuck in it, swirling around your finger and getting caught up with you once more.
But I

clouded

Today,
the sadness slid in like fog—
not sudden,
just there.
Heavy without being invited.

I sit with it,
ashamed,
like I’ve broken something sacred
by feeling low in the presence
of someone so bright.

She laughs like clear water,
touches my hand like forgiveness—
how can I ache
when she exists?

But the ache doesn't check who I love,
only who I am.
It loops.
A guilt for feeling,
a guilt for

The Twine that Binds

Out of my mind and lost in time
Holding on to a love unkind
Unwind the twine that cruelly binds
Me to my severed valentine

Her voice still calls through echoing halls
As madness clings to crumbling walls 
All consumed in lingering perfume
Her presence like a ghost haunting this room.

Left behind—a love consigned 
A fantasy born within my mind
She gave

5:31 am

I’m losing a battle I did not choose to fight in,
I have waited nearly fourteen years for freedom. 
There is still no stopping him. 
I lay next to someone I adore and 
He still clogs my thoughts like hair in drainage.
I glance at my love as they sleep,
Peaceful and snoring softly,
And I wish I could

Heartbroken, still I love

I used to think heartbreak missed girls like me,
the ones who waited, who stayed soft and sure.
For years I prayed, “Lord, guard this fragile heart,”
believing stillness meant I’d skip the fall.

Then he arrived. The first to hold my hand,
the first to kiss me like it meant something.
He made me feel alive in quiet ways,
like maybe

My Friend Is the Ocean

My friend is the ocean, waters that glide,
Rustling my footsteps and tousling my hair;
Many the times that we walked side by side,
A spark and forever, joined as a pair.
Always a cloud there lay over its play,
Dappled the sunlight that fell on my face;
Heaving, its waters had something to say;
Twilight with meteors it took for the

Soul'd Out

Guess I'm soul searching she's on my mind
with a heart that is hurting must have been blind
I wander these streets where we walked together
but places we'd meet are now stranger than ever
I think of those days gone by
and can't help but wonder why
I'm tossing and turning time on my hands
with a heart that is burning
