sad poetry

The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.

Now
Time slips by, as I Experience it, time, it Slips by, and I die.

O’ heart of mine
Has my heart yet again lead me down a broken road One that’s all to familiar and unpleasantly cold Or has it just selected for me

If You Could See
Yeah, girl, I can see you... hiding behind your perfectly, practiced smile The one you paint on every morning as the coffee simmers slowly, in the quiet

Human Walk
I had known this different kind of love once, long ago, but I didn’t know how to see it then. Only when you arrived , I learned how to appreciate it.

Here it's all you
Tick- A sudden buzzing in your ears, In front of you are all your fears Laid and casted, and projected out. No chance to escape, no safe route.

Every Morning At 7:22, or 21 - I Have Used My "Head", And Now I Am A Millionaire - I Own A House, I Own A Car - I Have 10 Children, A Husband, A Wife - I Have A Life , Nothing Can Stop Me, I Am Powerful, I Am Unstoppable!
Every man loves a woman who gives him a hard time, the worst thing the best thing! The person who plays hard to get as if the person was a child waiting to feel a sense of wonder! I wished I knew what it felt like to have all the men wanting me! All the men saying you are the reason, I have woken up in the morning!? The only reason I live, The reason I will wake up, as if that made sense! All the men that said if I, only for a minute cared enough about myself I would not have a had a breakdown! A breakdown in society, a breakdown in the way every person assumes they are enough! Just a person who had no other choice but to have 40 breakdowns !

Sad Eyes (Robert John "song")
I've been trying to understand a few things! Honestly, I've been trying to understand a few things! I want to understand a few things! I - don't know where I will be, tomorrow - but I would like to understand a few things! I don't want money, I just want to understand a few things!

Bartender. Top Story - February 2026.
On the heels of grief, pain bears down hard. On the heels of death, pain awakens the quiet place between the end of our own life and now. Feeling anything is like seeing a film and in black and white, slow motion, all sound turned off. Just watching. Gritting teeth, awkward smiles and bloody red eyes move around, scanning the others who are feeling something I don't want to feel, but I do. Escapism is all I have ever known. ~

Waves
I am the ocean, waves still When an old friend stays for too long They never take the hint The darkness of blood and flesh
