Sadness Poems - Poems about Sadness

A heart without tomorrow
My love garden remains unweeded, Each planted flower slowly wilting. A shadow spreads across my sunlight, And a storm lingers without rainfall. Sad teardrops fall from my broken heart, No blood shed, yet my worlds fall apart. Agony, sorrow, deep dejection— Reflections in my shattered mirror. My tear burns hot enough to bake bread, Depression drapes a cloak on my head. Love tortures like a...

They Wore Sorrow
Two diverse paths lay, The rough path tell the tales Tales of what lays ahead The smooth path tells no tales Both lead to same destination Our choice stared at us The heart seeks honour Rough path they thread Their desire, they must not faint The cheers of their leader, Echoes through the lonely path The smooth path, leader thread, In honor, loyalty stand. “Aye, my enemy...

Life without you
Life Without You Life without you in cold desert sand, I walk without shadow, the sun too tired to care. Alone in the place I used to know, walls whisper your name in cracks and corners, but you never answer. Silence moved in where your voice used to be. The rooms are getting smaller, the windows won’t open, time has folded in on itself only...

To Love and To Hold
The tingling sweet sensation As he grabbed my hand I dared betray my emotion This path I chose to stand Side by side in lovers strand Woven tight by fate’s hand His stare of phony devotion How can I question? The beautiful morning ray, I hoped he not stray An empty echo as I turned, dared not say Our journey, the dark lair still lay Maidan...

When, in darkness, there's but a single ray; When, in cruelty, there's little kindness found; Then in imagination could I stay; A private realm, and in perfection crowned; And I thought of dreams, in that certain way. When, in darkness, there shines a brilliant ray; When, in cruelty, there is a kindness found; Not in imagination would I stay; Let private thought with...

Bestie became enemy
?? "Bestie Became Enemy" Bestie became enemy, sharp like a knife, I never thought you'd cut me out of your life. I gave you my secrets, my soul, my trust, Now all that's left is broken dust. You knew my pain, you held my hand, I thought you'd always understand. But jealousy grew where love should stay, And now your kindness fades...

Dear future boyfriend
Dear Future Boyfriend I may not be perfect to love, Jealous when I see you with others, Sad when you come home late, Scared when you're not taking my calls— But every beat of my heart still whispers your name. Hey future boyfriend, I may not look bothered When you do things that hurt— That's because everything you do is not new. I'm used...

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...

Yet I Stand
Where do I stand When presented with a choice Transported by a full force That lands me in a false chance Yet, I stand. Breaking the shackles That held me in my ankles So tight like a buckle Wrapped in my knuckles Yet, I stand. What is given is a Token The heart that bleeds is broken The life that fades is taken Certain thoughts can't be...

Heartbroken yet not broken
“I’d rather love a million times and have my heart broken every time, than hold a permanently empty heart forever.” –H.C. Paye ........................................................... Pure wickedness sets you apart, Meanwhile, true love you led me to assume. You purposefully broke my heart, Leaving my vases filled with wilted blooms. Yet I deter not; my heart lives to love, Through many heartbreaks, still I'm...

What Sadness Taught me
I have no room for hate in the world, and I’ve always forgiven anyone who’s ever done me wrong—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s already too much hate out there, whether it’s the world struggling to get along or someone choosing to hurt someone else. There are two ways to see the meaning...

Equi-distant
Happiness and sadness are equi-distant from each other It's the speed that makes all the difference From point to point A distance travelled in our minds but takes hold of the body Like a pendulum swinging from end to end Our souls dim and perspectives flicker A proud eagle becomes solitary A vast vibrant field becomes lonely Words are given innuendoes belonging to...
