SADNESS |
Here are some of the poems I have written on sadness. I hope you enjoy reading them. I think my feelings are most reflected here. We have all experience sadness at some point in our lives, so I am sure you will empathise as well as understand what I am trying to depict in these poems. |
SADNESS STRENGTHENS |
You've left my heart as empty as a shallow tear |
You have taken away everything |
Nothing is what it appears |
A blue sea of emptiness |
A teardrop of sorrow |
Shadows looming over the preminitions of tommorow |
Sadness Strengthens the heart |
That is what I am told |
But a strength from my sadness |
I am yet to behold |
A path of despair is one I have lead |
As I tread this path once again |
I lie my weeping head |
Timing is irrealevent, to you it means none |
As long as you are not being hurt |
You don't see the hurt you've done |
In time you will look back |
And regret your hurtful tone |
Happiness is hard to find |
And you won't find it alone |
EVER |
Have you ever had a friend who was never there, did you ever love someone but knew they didn't care, have you ever felt like crying but never let it out, did you ever feel like screaming but just let out a shout, have you ever felt like speaking but never said a word, did you ever start talking but felt that you weren't heard? This is life my friend it is sad but true. All this sounds familiar because this person's you. |
REALITY |
I cannot comprehend |
What happened to us |
One day we were in love |
The next we'd broken up |
Please tell me love where it went |
What happened to our lives |
I just want to understand |
What caused our love to die |
They say true love never ends |
But I guess that is not true |
Although in love we once were |
It's no longer there for you |
Time is all ironic |
And love is but a dream |
Please tell me what is real |
'Cause nothing's what it seems |
Seeing you at one time |
Would have made me smile |
But now when you glance my way |
I feel the need to cry |
TAKE ME BACK |
Take me back to the time |
When we loved to carress |
When every moment together |
Lasted a lifetime |
Take me back to the time |
Of the twinkling stars |
And the moonlit walks |
Along the beach |
Take me back to the moment |
When we first met |
When a touch of a hand |
Was like a passionate kiss |
Take me back to the time |
When words meant something |
And a lifetime could be shared in a few sentences |
Take me back to the days |
When the sun did not shine |
But a smile could create the most radiant beams |
Take me back to the time |
Of cattails and tree carvings |
Take me back to the time when we were in love |
THE COLDEST OF HEARTS |
To figure out the games he plays |
Would take the mind of a genius |
To learn to forgive a man like him |
Would take the heart of a saint |
To ignore the looks he gives |
Would take the eyes of a blindman |
To escape from the things he does |
Would take the skill of a magician |
To overpower the force he uses |
Would take the strength of a giant |
To understand the way he feels |
Would take the coldest of hearts |
To learn to stop loving him |
Would be impossible |
STANDING ALONE |
Now it all seems so unreal |
So vast and complex |
Time has not made it easier |
To move on and forget |
So much simpler then |
Though never black and white |
The reasons were clear |
The purpose of the fight |
Now there's only emptiness |
Filled with confusion |
Looking forward into time |
The past seems like illusion |
Standing alone in solitude |
Frightened and lost |
Sorting through the pieces |
Of a broken heart |
Afraid to ask the questions |
That could mean the end |
Holding on to yesterday |
In the fear tomorrow lends |
Lacking the strength of conviction |
And the courage to be free |
Without willingness to accept |
Or faith to believe |
Standing alone unprotected |
Unwanted, Unseen |
Tending in vain to wounds That continue to bleed |
JUST A DREAM |
Once you told me I was all that mattered |
I was all you cared about |
I don't know if you meant it then |
Or if it was just a dream |
In a world full of chaos |
It is not mystery why you are confused |
In my heart I know I still love you |
Inside me there is an emptiness |
That thoughts of you only intensify |
For without you I am lost |
Dazed and confused, where once I was happy |
I know that you are my soulmate |
My heart and yours will always connect |
But it is with this knowledge that I grow weak |
As I no longer have your heart, or your love |
Your smile still enlightens me, inspires me to grow |
From your voice I still get pleasure |
But the distance between us brings sadness |
For me an unbearable silence that I retain |
Holding on to the dream grows harder |
As each day passes my heart gets heavier |
Until one day I am afraid it will consume me |
It is with this that I say I Love You Until the day I say goodbye |
WHERE IT STARTS |
As the tears trickle down |
The night wind starts to howl |
For you have hurt me once again |
Now in my tears I wallow |
As the stars twinkle brightly |
And the moonlight does glow |
I lie here confused |
About where things will go |
I hear a bird chirping |
I hear a car whiz by |
I do not hear your voice |
But I hear my anguished cries |
A cricket chirps softly |
In the midst of the night |
Slowly I realize the pointlessness |
Of this endless fight |
Sunlight is but invisible |
As is your love |
As the sky slowly darkens |
It connects to my lonely heart |
For the shadows depict |
The distance we're apart |
When the moonlight shines upon me |
And I look to where it decends |
I realize I can no longer decipher |
Where it starts and where it ends |
