Replaceable Poems - Poems about Replaceable

Mostly the discarded voice Who is never noticed That is never heard Who is mostly ignored like a lone bird Always the sidepiece Never the centre Usually forgotten Barely remembered Heartbroken Voice cracked Choices regretted Face draught Usually replaceable never indispensable Barely needed Always preceded Maybe I am selfish For wanting to be cherished For wanting to be adored Wanting to be put before....

An outsider required, to maintain relations Reasons of difference, bonds of similarity Joy felt, compensating for years of hollowness Blood thickens, only through supplement. Spoken lies laughed off, through mockery Signs of clarity, distorted by unwilling eyes A voice of reason, silenced by replacement Brewing frustrations, releasing green steam. A day of deprivation, reminding of dependence Electronic addiction, silencing conversations The nurtured norm, altered by...

Shivering as the winter cold Blows in as if an open door you hold A child's life was sold To a new country he was told That his old life was replaceable Soon exposed to a mother's sin which was not erasable Hurt and lost this child became unpredictable A new man in his life not his blood always unreliable...

You see it there in the headlines cursed. Those old scandal sheets dredging up the worst the only news worth printing with gossiping unrehearsed. Yup, Brad and Angelina are parting, wonder if there's a point in love even starting. Are Tom and Katie still together charting? Wasn't there Nicole and Mimi somewhere in the...

Goodbye, high heels. You made me look Professional with suit and book Or sexy in a tango dress Alas, my toe joints are a mess. It seems so shallow to mourn shoes, But really, this gives me the blues Because it means that I resign To this unfortunate decline That’s permanent and has no cure. The shoes must go; I won’t endure With every step...

When the tick at last loud enough that my clock did knock I got a dog I saved and I readied and I searched with my gut And I found you You most spectacular mutt You taught me You changed me In a way brought me up Such a challenging intelligent self possessed pup I was in awe Adored you so daily Absorbing each moment of...

You'll get rid of your old shoes, and buy new ones. You'll be heartbroken, but fall in love once again. You'll lose an important contract, but get your break with millions of dollars from other business deals. You'll make a mistake, but become wiser. You'll make a low sale of your first novels, only to hit the bestseller list. You'll cry in hurt in your soul, but...

(after Charles Baudelaire) It’s not the same. I noticed it today, while dodging Rond-Point carriages. I’m not the sort who mindlessly disparages whatever’s new, but Haussman’s swept away the Paris that I loved. Thus thought the swan who’d wandered somehow from the Tuileries and limped, bewildered, frightened, ill-at-ease, his web feet scraping as he struggled on, he knew not where, uncertain why...

A dying woman posts a nice dating ad for her husband, soon to be a lovely lonely widower. She recognizes that she is replaceable when her light dims and fades to off. There are substitutes, swaps and replacements for everything if you are not too precious about it. The degree, scope and extent of the swap varies, but there are...

Sleep refuses to come When you’re in the sights of a gun Your eyes open just a crack When no one has your back Tombstones take hold of the reigns We have nothing but false claims Bodies fuel the empty fields Nothing matters but human yields So much wasted potential I hope they weren’t essential It’s ok we’ll find a replacement Just a minor debasement We can...

You’re not replaceable Despite what I might have said I let my tongue do the talking Which has been my downfall of late I can’t tell them my secrets Or express my insecurities They won’t yell at me when I bite my nails Or waste money on phone bills for me Oh, understand I don’t mean anything I say But only the things I...
