Unraveling Poems - Poems about Unraveling

Time, that silent betrayer of dreams unraveling at dawn, Like an unseen knife cutting deep into the flesh of lost memories, Speaks to you without words, a master of crimes hidden in shadow, Raises palaces of hope at sunrise and buries them in the silence of graves. It forgets its promises in a blink, turning "forever" into "once," Burns vows...

I was certain. I was sure. I knew what I knew— until I didn’t. A thread pulled, a question I never meant to ask, a whisper splitting at the seams. The more I learn, the less I know. The less I know, the more I understand. I trace the edges of truth, only to find them fraying. I tighten the knot. I loosen the knot. I untangle it. I make...

Is it truly death they fear, or the unraveling of their illusory self-importance, as they tread through existence, erecting fragile monoliths of their ephemeral legacy, believing their names will resonate through ages, as if permanence were a divine gift, a privilege born not of vanity, but of an illusion of eternity that never ends, watching as each moment turns...

Paralyzed by an unexplainable grip Left side blanketed in weakness Levels off brimming with dread Countless questions lingering No answers just hoping time helps Waiting for silence to soften the edge But the static still crackles in my head Hands shake like awakening memories A battle my body won’t let me forget Counting the hours in shallow breaths Tracing the fault lines beneath my skin Between...

It's one of those days when everything feels like an illusion unraveling at dawn, Like a dusty road that fades into horizons without destination, Each step seems futile, and the meaning of life dissolves in the mists of time, It's just me and the infinite sky, staring aimlessly, as the hours flow like silent rain. I lose myself in...

The air hums with the weight of whispers, of promises broken before they were made. Skies once endless now streaked with fire, oceans rising like hands reaching, asking if we still remember their name. Cities pulse in restless hunger, neon veins feeding sleepless bodies. Glass towers stretch toward absent gods, while shadows curl in alleyways, where the forgotten carve silence into stone. Somewhere, a child...

I'm clawing through my mind, every thought pulling me closer to the jagged edge, where oblivion waits. Fatigue wraps around my bones, a weight so heavy it almost feels like comfort. But I can't let it win. If I fall, I'll vanish, swallowed by the dark, forgotten by everything I once knew. So I push back, fists clenched, fighting the pull of the void, because...

Have you ever wondered what people are thinking about What’s playing on repeat in their head Their- World The place where they spend all their time Thinking a thousand thoughts per minute Ideas, School, work, worries, Family, thoughts, friends, overthinking, Thinking over and over and over again. All these things pile up rather fast Soon everything is too...

Cosmic chrysalis, chaotic change; Pure and positively poisonous, play with that potential; Sting or stay a succubus, stylish and succinct; Cocoon of ceremonious unraveling contemplative chrysalis....

Beneath the canvas of the sky unraveling into melancholic twilight, There stretches a silent expanse that separates us, It swells with each orphaned beat of time, Filling with quicksilver, with murmurs of suspicion under a pallid moon. Through unseen veils, I feel the coolness of the evening - a caress gone astray; Yet, your face, once reflected in the depths...

Do tell, when seen, the sight of answers The ones that are sought deep within. Away now, dig graves deeper Unearth the bones, the memories of pain therein. Make use of scraps and stains placed in heart The ones they chose not to see. The ones that were once torn pieces apart The ones that were shunned e’er so lightly. Then write...

Written: August 17, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ What have I become in a world coming undone? Where chaos reigns and hope seems long gone? Right before my eyes, I grip the darkness rise. But amidst it all, a ray of light tries Fetching furry friends, full of pure delight, Spreading surreal sunshine with all its might. From those mocha eyes, a glimmer of truth, A reminder...

I think of those legions who would suffer, those people who have had lots less than me. You think your life couldn't be tougher until through their eyes, you finally see. Squeeze out one tiny drop of compassion to then see surely how far it could spread. Actually not knowing in what fashion it will brighten the dim lit road ahead. We all...

Begin by stripping my skin to the bone Misfortune is baked in layers Mania in DNA is more than kin I trust nurture entwined with nature Tattered veils obscure perspective's light Shameful gauzes are undressed Ran madly half-bare to sis's arms Suicidal wolf cries no longer tempt me Re-parenting without weed strips me No more wine ushering the beast Make abstinence my embalmer Repatriate this...

A Metamucil Moment" Woke up this morning Feeling rather blue Ran out of Metamucil Don't know what to do Muscles really aching Joints are creaky sore I ran out of Ben-Gay Have to run down to the store Blood pressure medicine Seems too have disappeared Can't remember if I used it all My tummy's feeling kinda of weird Where did I put my glasses Can't see a gosh darn...
