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
