#sad poems on Hello Poetry

Charmour 1d

no one’s eyes made me write—
my life did.
the things I’ve endured,
the family I never had,
the trauma I carry
turned me into a poet.

it forced the ink
out of my veins—
red, yet black,
like the blood
still coursing
through me.

I bleed onto paper
without a knife,
just wounds that never heal,
just pain that never
learns to stop.

it drains me dry—
and yet I stand,
barely.

begging to be taken,
begging to vanish,
to disappear
from a world
I was never meant
to be born in.

i wish my life didn't make me write ....... someones eyes did

i come here to dwell
not in pity
nor in sadness
just to sit
on empty nights
in silent darkness
perfectly alone
behind memories
lost in you
all over again

too see you
without seeing you
hearing your voice
soft yet warm
a gentle mumble
through the words you write
i crave your interaction
any interaction
messages written
words forgotten
long discarded
never spoken

it takes a lot
to sit so close
to the one thing
you want most
and remain silent
god, it takes a lot
a lot of ******* love
to not scream into the abyss
in the hope you’ll answer

to lose you
not by label
of lover or friend
nor the bright eyed girl
i craved to know
but the one
who loved all of me
and the parts
i’d not show.

The Sea

In her eyes, he saw the sea,
A mighty ocean staring back.
When she told him she wanted to leave,
He could feel his heart crack.
When she said that it was over,
Felt like he was swimming underwater.
He thought he would drown,
All this pain, hidden behind a frown,
As he sank deeper down.
In his eyes, she saw defeat,
Not to mention all the pain.
When she told him she wanted to leave,
She ignored the rain.
When she said that it was over,
She took the first step out of the water.
She wasn’t going to drown,
She was tired of sinking down,
Even if she had to make him frown.
No amount of therapy,
Could save them from the raging sea…

Some relationships just don't work...

***

There’s always a place
Where you don’t feel safe
To say who you are
And to show them yourself.

You find it sooner or later:
Some stay there for long,
Some leave ‘s fast as they can.
The point is — everyone knows it.

I’ve been there.
It wasn’t exactly like that
But every day that I hoped that the day would be sunny
Ended up being just like a stormy one.

I felt alone,
Abandoned
And hurt
But I still fought to stay strong.

And I was, people said,
Though I didn’t feel it.
In the end, no one won —
They thought of it as a show.

The morale is: don’t give up,
You won’t always win,
But a new step in life will surely come
And your bitterness will be replaced by something better

Just like mine did.

remember that one day the sun will shine

Still Breathing

How come every time
I try to leave it all behind,
Try to forget the pain,
The damage I've been through,
It always finds its way back to me?

It never lets me go.
Like I’m trapped in a cage,
With no way out,
No space to breathe —
But somehow, I’m still alive.

Every time I think I’ve moved on,
That I’ve finally healed,
It creeps back in,
Like a shadow I can’t run from.

It tightens around me,
Like invisible hands on my throat.
Not enough to end me,
Just enough to make me breathless.

And I wonder —
Will it ever let me go?

No one cares anyway

I never posted any of my poems
thought people would worry
I went ahead and posted one today
Turns out no one cared anyway

I posted one of my poems on my instagram story and no one asked if I was okay.

Thought i'd move on?

thought i'd move on,
like i always did.
cry for a week,
bounce back quick.
one after an other,
oh, how splendid.
is it that hard to move on?
"skill issue", i said.

Now i sit here,yearning,
wondering to myself,
why cant i just forget?
like i always did.
i catch myself smile,
thinking about all the goofy stuff we did.
how we said we'd buy a hundred cats,
oh, how we dreamt.

we'd laugh together on the phone,
hours pass by.
you ask me if i love you,
i laugh, nervous and shy.

you said,if we ever part,
i'll be the one to leave.
but,baby, your love never lived,
just like the promises you keep.

i gave you a piece of me,
a piece too dear.
so no wonder why i'm so empty,
without you near.

In silence

I wish I could cry it out
but instead I cry inside
There tears are flowing
and they drown my mind.
