Best Disappointment Poems

Fran said to her milkman one day
Do you fancy a roll in the hay
Much to his chagrin
Fran asked 'is it in?'
You’re not quite as big as folk say!

Disappointment was never as lovely as she
Hope caught in my heart fighting delicately
She's always the dream that never fades upon waking
The cause and the comfort for all of my shaking

I like to glance over then turn carelessly
Just to see if it makes her come over...

Destiny made a way out of my reach,
Instead of welcoming with open arms
Spread wide. To each his own! On my own, each
And every day, I did life no harm.
Priorities, other than me, came first,
Prior to closing my eyes and dreaming
Of better days. But, bad days...

Disappointment and anger; now they're the real gang bangers. 
Invading our lives causing nothing but disharmony and strife. 

Not easily identified because they creep in on the slide. 
Taking root in our spirits as an underlying feature.
 
Giving birth to the enemies children those demonic...

I wanted to be different, that much I wanted! And there I am, the very same, plain, normal non-magic. I am ashamed. Stupid shameful and bitter. I wanted to be different but I was a mirage for myself only, that was me. And the reality...

I woke up in rapture, when she started to sing.
Naughty whispers in my ears, “Someone’s coming”
My ecstatic view;
A child is due!
Then she continues, “My mother’s visiting”...

High above the clouds
A destiny is waiting
Stars are in her eyes


Dreams are illusions we create for ourselves that seldom have a chance of ever coming true. Still, we dream - Anonymous...

Little did she know, she was never "The girl"
No matter what she does, or what happens.
It was not her, it will not be her.
Those fairy times were just a mirage,
A disguise to cover his scars.

She never stopped getting hurt, how could she?
She gave him his...

purified in the flame
cleansed in the rain
finding beauty in the pain

accepting the distain
of all that became
there's sincerity in shame

dim's the only pressing view
fog covers through and through
empty in the reach for you

breathing in a quaint defeat
the scent of hope's subtle retreat
familiar gloom sets on both...

angels cannot interfere with injustices 
they witness in the mortal realm
their tears we know as drops of rain
may one day drown all and dishelm 

angels in show of compassion
do play the harp and throw a rope
hoping those who quieten their heart
will hear their notes of...

On My Blindness

I'm going blind;
Blind from picking roses in the graveyard.
Blind from being what I'm not.
Blind from being what I am.

I am losing my sight;
Once I could shoot a rabbit
At a hundred yards.

From dancing to long in the...

For as you raised her, so she went.

I won’t settle for a life
That’s mediocre
Life’s too short for that

I’ve loved you and 
Given you my heart
And gotten not much back

I’ve waited patiently but
You don’t love me anywhere
As much as I love you

Each day a new disappointment
A reminder that you don’t love me
Half as...

I ponder why my soul is thus,
Why must I scream to be heard,
Why do I feel remorseful after speaking,
Why does home not feel like home despite their words?

My parents declare their love for me,
Yet I still believe I'm the issue,
Why do my siblings think only...
