Love Sadness Poems

All My Low Moments

I hate my low moments.
Those moments when I try not to but my eyes find your name and my finger dial your number
These days it never goes through anymore
All I hear is a beep then a silence I will never fill with words
I dont want you to pick up.
I dont want your voice to warm

Just Try, a Soliloquy

I wish you could love me. You say you want a girl who’s understanding, kind, loving, and will work for your trust. I would do all of that for you, I would work with you to build our relationship, but you don’t even want to try. It’s back and forth with you all the time,

Misplaced

In my few quiet moments, I always say grace, 
a mother first, trying to find my place, 
my eyes are tired, every single day, 
I’m praying for peace, to come some how, some way.

A co-worker's friendship is definitely great, 
I work so hard, yet my bills are still late. 
Im trying to juggle the roles,

ember lover

Looking at her is like 
a grainy old romance
warped in a bathroom mirror—
time distorts in her footsteps.

She’s always smiling, 
even when tears circle in her eyes. 
Only on certain nights will she 
pull off the mask 
and fracture in hush, splintering inward.

She speaks little—
perhaps the quietest soul I’ve known.
Her days revolve around his breath,
his smile

Love Wears a Funeral Veil

Love and sorrow walk as one, A bond unbroken, never undone.

For every kiss, a tear will fall, A whispered ache, a lover’s call.

The heart that loves must bear the weight, Of joy entwined with sorrow’s fate.

For love is cruel, it does not spare, It lingers long, yet leaves despair.

It wears a veil, it hums a

She Never Knew Love

she never knew love
served soft upon silver plates
so she learned to taste it
in sharp rusted fates

fingers traced promises
carved into skin
a hunger for warmth
in a world caving in

yet even the knives
could not sever her light
a sun breaking through
after years lost to night

she stitched up the wounds
with the threads of her will
spun gold from the pain
made the

A love gone wrong

A love gone wrong
What went wrong between us? Can you tell me?
I tried to be all you wanted , but you didn't want to see.
I couldn't be myself with you and you didn't even know .
You would say things that hurt me, I didn't let it show.
I kept my feelings to myself, you didn't seem

Memories

It had such a wide variety of sounds,

They had echoed through the air,

the waves gushing up and down the sand,

Me alone laying down on the cold wet sand,

like snow you just can't get up you are just in a trance,

I want this memory to end,

But one look at my mom and all those thoughts come

Ahead of you but in the shadows

Ok. I know you
Don't see me the 
Way I see you. 
But don't you know when
Your sad it makes me sad too.
And when your happy 
it makes me glad.

Watching you
Fight through your
Anger issues I wish 
Every time that I 
could hold You through.
And darlin don't you
Know when there's 
Light in your eyes 
It drives the

Tears

If you don't feel sorry for yourself
then who is there to feel your pain?
trying to be in someone else's shoes
never really feels quite the same

the affect and sentiment in truth
fits you only like your name
so who would care
when you despair
with just yourself to blame

a shame to have emotions
that press to take their toll
to let the

Broken Ring

You made me a home.
Then, you just took it back.
You healed my home.
Then, you cut it back.
You painted me chrome.
Then, you stripped it black.
You shaped my globe.
Then, you squished it flat.
You made me a home.
So, you could just take it back.

Praying

It was just yesterday,
his love was a quiet smile,
embracing the faith, the sigh,
like a heart who can see,
past the ugly in me,
through the expanse of shadows,
pouring over my naked palms,
awakening dreams in a heart,
who is silent, 
yet unburdened of doubts,
when will he see…

beneath the worries, the fears,
beyond the softest tears,
where there is a flow, liquid

Premium MemberGoodbye My Love

 Violins whisper on warm summer night
Nightingale twitters a song just for me
Lost and alone I have lost my knight
heartbreaking moment I failed to see.

Birds twitter like whispering violins
Melodious moment soothing my mind
Uplifted I spread invisible wings
Violins and birds create heavenly chime.

Sadness resides in heart that is broken
Final goodbye to my beloved one
It seems that

Oland

In Oland, where the wind meets the sea,
A love story once began for you and me.
We walked along the shore hand in hand,
Promised to love each other, never to disband.

Old fate had a different plan heretofore,
As you were called to heaven's door.
My heart shattered into a million pieces,
As I struggled to accept life's unpredictable creases.

The
