Sad But True Poems - Poems about Sad But True

Echoes Of Longing
My endless gaze never ceased to leave your side The tint of your silhouette shamelessly draws me in each time Your beauty fills the empty void of my life And for you so I strive Could I be with you just once? Dashing into the unknown, searching vigorously with all my might Will I ever break through our barrier? The more I...

A FORBIDDEN LOVE
In quiet corners where no one sees, Two hearts find solace, though love's not free. A gentle touch, a fleeting smile, In a world that deems their love a trial. Their love, a secret they must protect, From judging eyes and harsh neglect. They hold each other in the dark, Wishing the world would warm to their spark. They dream of days without...

When the others say to you In their blissfull ignorance Anything what you should do But it doesn’t stand a chance Cause you know the subject well Better than they could’ve fathomed Do you send them all to hell, Or you’re lenient to others? You consider what they are Taking care of their concern You don’t want them be too far And it’s easy to...

Fragments of a True Bond
In the quiet corners of our shared days, Where words are but whispers and laughter, We built something fragile, something rare— A friendship, pure and unguarded, Between a girl and a boy, so different, Yet bound by a common heart. Through late-night talks and secret dreams, We wove a tapestry of trust and truth, A sanctuary in a world of noise. You knew my...

To My Husband
Being without you is like the stars without the moon The hole I have in my heart that's forever torn apart Without you by my side and the endless days I cry Not knowing when If I'll ever see u again For that day I'll wait and wait Until that day you walk out that gate And when that day finally comes true I'll sit here and...

To The One I Lost Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon Placed 3rd --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Like a nymph from Arden, She entered my life’s garden. Like lightning to me, she came; For me, she was an ideal dame. As feminine as a jasmine flower, She found in me a protective bower. I traced sweet nectar in her talk, And a dancing swan in her walk. Her floating...

Would I
Give me your early mornings Give me your half-awake eyes Drag me in when you're pulling away Match our breaths when we've synchronised Give me your slow afternoons Give me your train of thought Distract me with your sugar-coated mouth And watch back as my teeth rot Give me your all-nighters Give me your secrets never said out loud Cry into my collarbones You're safe with...

Rain of Pain
The rain falls hard on this lonely night, As I stand here in the dim street light. My heart is shattered, my spirit broken, As I think of the words you left unspoken. I loved you more than anything, But you found someone with a bigger ring. Someone better, someone new, And now I’m left here, feeling so blue. The raindrops hit the...

I was tempted by angels of Addiction and the devil of Alien affection. My dying wish, a dirty martini enema to scour my sanguine soul and write poetry to suit my heralding headings. Leave your dreary dungeon self behind No pain for time served. No time for pain served. Love is all around...

A Message After Death
Saša Milivojev A MESSAGE AFTER DEATH And I have died, in antiquity, and noone ached for me. Some rejoiced, young as I was, as I bled on the cross, drenched in blood, in agony. Not a single tear rolled down for me, when they nailed my bones to yew, the dzelats were singing sneeringly. and I was smiling, forgivingly. In that life so brief, in that cauldron of...
