Despondent Poems - Poems about Despondent

Dry and Desperate
This longing in my heart A yearning as deep as the ocean An emptiness in my soul A void as the depth of the hades Like a fallen branch from off the vine I am as dead as the dried leaf Sired by a bloated wish and questions Hungry I am for a will to fulfill Lost to the course of myself The...

Uncooked grains of rice caked our apartment. Dug themselves into my pliable plantar aspect I welcomed you from the bottom of my being, Into my soul, A friend that made me feel whole. You dreamt of delicious dishes dancing In the taste buds of those you loved, An acid trip of flavors meant for those Whose love you longed to savor, But never did. You...

Despondent, One Dreary Day
From on high, only by Him How throned o'er, thought of? When as prompt, through each flash Rainbow's, ray's, re-sent The heartening mercy! The heart-warming love! To believe, must we bear Full-faced God's descent?...

Despondent As Darkness
I wish I could plant happiness in your heart and heal you of your despondency. I'd place affirmations of loving peace and contentment in your mind. I'd say things like this and that hoping it's not for naught. What would you say if all your sadness disappeared overnight? You'd no longer have nightmares. Just think,...

Fallen and Despondent
Behold, I have been so cold inside So bold, I have been through the tide The things you put me through I still love you, I still love you I have been told you have been so full of hate My heart is crushed by apprehension as of late And I have been told you were going ‘round the place, Embracing...

Oh, sad moon, you float alone in what used to be, your cloud nine, looking down despondently at me. I remember your illuminating glow, so gleeful at twilight. I remember the smile you wore yesterday when billions of your friends shared the sky with you. But tonight the sky is starless and you're now so blue. Smile, moon. Smile again! I'm here. I'm a friend Submitted for... All Yours (Feb 5) Poetry Contest (Winner: 1st Place) Sponsored by: Brian Strand Date written: 02/04/2021...

Premium Member Despondent Heart
Each walk along the cobblestone of night reminds me how gladness becomes gloom a despondent lesion from a heart, while star-beam winks without a flare. Here trembles a skyscape in the cold as our affection in gradual leaks drains , and near winter too icy lingers, that numb senses against it endure. Although this moment denies to grip one dedication tainted with a stoic...

No proof in the way I lie The feelings concealed I only deny Testing my strength at seventeen Realizing thirty-five is not a dream Circling vultures in the sky Waiting for the dying to die In my head it's the same Circling around is only pain Waiting for this feeling to subside Like wind swept clouds from the sky Holding on is so deranged Stubborn pride...

despondent these feelings invaded, conquered the very soul. shards of sadness line the road where, loss can lead to madness. words offered barely pierce stout walls, erected to protect her, from good intentioned hoverers, too many to be mentioned. she can not hear nor see the love that family, friends proffer all her thoughts are frozen still upon the loss that caught her. these...

The Despondent Loner
If you look deep into these sad hazel eyes You'll see a man tormented mirrored in the sands of time Clinging to the last strand of sanity in his burned out mind. Living out each day choosing to believe the lie Of dreams coming true while they pass him by. You'll see him hiding always from societies stares Locking himself...
