Sad Poems | All Types of Poems About Sadness

With God’s presence all around me, Yet His gift is missed. Unknown by many who surround, Their blindness fills my heart with sadness. For disbelief clouds what is clear, How could they fail to see? His omnipresence, bright and pure, Hidden in the shadow of doubt. His grace, a gift they...

I swallowed a clock and it never struck twelve. Now time drips from my ribs in Morse code, each tick a prayer carved in reverse. The stars forgot my name, so I renamed myself after things that break quietly, a bruise in the shape of a hymn, a mirror that bleeds only under moonlight. There’s a violin growing behind my lungs, strings pulled...

There are nights I want to tell him. Nights I want to break down completely and admit that this doesn’t end the way he thinks it will. I imagine his face if I said it out loud. That I’m dying, that no medicine will undo it, that the slow fade has already begun. I imagine...

Written on April 19th 2025 for Sara Jama's The Chaos in my Heart Contest I am wrapped in darkness, crippled by the chaos in my heart. Swallowing tangled foxgloves of regret, I spiral. Into a hays of eerie memories of his lemonade lies From the distance, the torchbearer calls— His voice a menacing howl, summoning my soul to...

It’s shameful, the way I clutch. Like a child with a broken toy, believing if I just hug it tight enough, it’ll fix itself. I know people aren’t possessions. But tell that to the part of me that has only known love as something that gets taken just when I start to believe it’s mine. I rot with envy when he smiles at someone...

They say They say opposites attract, I suppose they were right to think that especially for us. For i was naive and you wanted to deceive I was as pure as the driven snow And you were dark like the concept of a Jane Doe. Opposites attract. You secretly wanted to attack, I just wanted you to love me back. You...

We heard your heartbeat, The sound of a strong heart, They gave me pictures of you, And I couldn’t help but smile. Day by day you grow, You get stronger every day, We can’t wait to finally meet you, I long to hold you in my arms. We don’t know what gender you are, But we’re ready to love you, We’re getting your room ready, And...

They never saw me—not really. Only the outline I traced in the halls, A whisper of denim and shy glances, A ghost who smiled too politely. They passed notes like grenades, Laughed too loudly When the silence was breaking me. I wore their words like a second skin— Tight, blistering, But invisible to them. You asked if I was okay once— But your eyes flicked away Before...

Just the curtains veil from your window Too dark only the omnipotent has great eyes Vaguely so do I can't see you clearly through Where soft comfort can't deny you simply lies. I know how lonely you are inside with so much rage Languishing in pain secretly others may not truly see No courage to gain help to rescue like a...

You say you love me now But wait until I can't get sleep, cause my elbow is in pain And all I can do is sit and brave it out Wait until I need that quick drive to the hospital When I'm in pain I barely speak And my face turns into the despair I keep inward When all I care...

A day, once, when you were just a name. A name, once, and then it all changed. Changed, once, and never again. God, please— never again. I don't want to look back one day And think on these memories And realize that the pain has numbed Yes it hurts Yes— yes, it hurts And I don't want it to stop I don't want you to...

I never reached out for your hand— Fingers interlacing, hearts intertwining. My words blistered on my tongue, And I tucked the unanswered glances Back into silence, Like love letters never sent. What do I do with the love I couldn't give? I'll bleed it onto blank white pages, Ink running from my arteries. My stanzas will contain The glory of my memories, And my metaphors...

you’ve passed by this intersection enough times to know whose light turns green after you’ve had those petty fights enough times to know that neither of you really mean what you say you’ve been in this traffic jam enough times to know that it was actually better to take the other route and you didn't take the other...

Does your so-called honesty only lead to tribulation? Honestly, life without you makes me feel nothing but blissful vindication- indication of all the time you stole out from under me. I was blind not to see the slyness hidden behind your eyes. And my foolishness nearly led to an early demise. But if you're a fox,...
