Loss Poems | Examples of Loss Poetry

Daisy My memories of you. You shared your love through your Loving licks, and allowed me to teach you lots of tricks. A friend in you, I could always trust, just you and I, the two of us.

I think I hear whispers floating through my mind, It's the voice of someone I held dear- I remember the days when games were the only stress there. Opposite balconies facing each other, Extending hands to see if we could hold together , We bonded over shared toys, origami papers and roaring laughter. We played during every holiday as we grew, Sometimes...

How do I explain how desolate life feels without you? The heart craves your presence and the eyes search only for you. You're gone, maybe not forever, But this feels like eternity. How do I tell you how lonely I feel even with a contact list full of names? People who would speak. Yet I wait for just one thing, A long...

“Blood in the sacred Valley”- Blood on us We came as tourists, hearts so wide, With sandalwood and faith as guide; To Pahalgam, where rivers sing, We brought no sword, we wore no ring. Just saffron threads and folded hands, A hope to touch our sacred lands; But prayers were drowned by bullets’ cry, And mountains watched our children die. They struck from...

The fire cracks and the embers brew Whilst the stars sing as I cry and plead, For I render you, my love To please come back to me As I watch you go up in flames I’m pondering your face that’s Burning a hole Into my memory This pain is just too real I beg the fire to lie and bring you back...

We watched him die, He was nailed up high, Alive for hours, Before the sky turned black; Thunder rolled, Lightning flashed, It is finished, was the cry That came final from his lips; He died, we cried, we ran and hid; He was taken and laid in a tomb, Borrowed from a friend, Laid there,...
