“The saddest poem ever wrote Was not yours, where you titillate with daring words Razors, pills etc., The saddest poem ever writ Was this one, a meager vanity to capture a Sunset that keeps trying every day to Surpass Supersede Its previous glorious failure, Like we should too. Keep trying. Now, I shall rest, For I know that soon I shall see, feel, think, Of something new that will make me eager to Write a new poem.” (2013) more for thee, than me (2026) August 3~5, 2013

The saddest poem ever writ (2013)
There's the saddest man alive, On his lonesome, as he hums, A tune his mother tethered to his mind. Heart shattered, clothes tattered, such is his life, The last to know, always alone and left behind. Deep down inside the murky, briny depths of his heart, Stranded, abandoned, lost in the dark, Is a smiling man, screaming, "Can anyone hear me? "Is someone there listening? Please!" Anyone who's ever come close, Heard the cries but ran away, So the man is tortured by, Monochromatic grey. All this pain and strife, Hidden within the saddest man alive. He used to smile, but now he can't. His lips permanently bent. Forming a frown that seems to drop further down. Can anyone hear the cries he sent? No one shows their face, so he tries again. Deep inside the saddest man alive, Hidden within pain and lies, Is a smiling man crying out his eyes. Where's the rescue to save his life? He pleads, "Save me! Someone hear me!" He tries to resist, The corruption of his bliss. All of this rage and vice, Hidden within the saddest man alive. Is there anyone who can help, Break the saddest man out of his shell? Or is he destined to rust, All because he fears trust?

The Saddest Man Alive
The saddest goodbyes are not the ones that are said but are left untold

Saddest Goodbyes
Today I can write the saddest poem, like a beautiful birthday cake cut into pieces or a candle that is blown out after a wish is read or people congratulating you on all the achievements that you have persisted until now in your growing age. Today I can write the saddest poem, but not about my birthday, but about the days, about the months, about the years, that I've been through, everything was happy, yes I am very happy.

The Ambiguity Of Being Happy
You were the purest savoir from that forgotten night, the saddest sight, is that of fractured light.

Fractured Light
Longer sleepless evenings Humid, dark, and bleak Serene and sorrowful homes Blossoming sakura trees weep With heavyhearted lonely buds Spring, unforgettable saddest spring Trees not lovelier and so are fields Nor the day more delightful than the evening These unhappy blooms in pink Signal a different kind of grief

If I could write you a letter It would go something like this I hope this letter finds you well I truly hope you're finding bliss Wrapped in a million other feelings, still my love for you exists Among other things, it's being in your arms that I miss How they used to comfort me When we weren't separated by distance It seems fitting that the last time I saw you was in an airport The place where we had already shed so many tears before But this goodbye was different And I felt it in my core I think that's why I cried for an hour Sitting in your car I could tell that when you said we'd be alright Even you weren't really sure As you wiped my tears away, I knew you didn't want to stay It took you another month to admit it But you eventually said the same I lie awake sometimes thinking of other things I wish you'd say "I still love you." "I still want you." "I'm sorry that I caused you all this pain." Words I'll never hear and that has to be okay

A Letter
the saddest thing about our story is that we could have made it work. if you cared about me like i cared about you, you would have fought for me. but you didn’t. it’s so clear. i was right every time that i told you i loved you more. you always denied it and said you love me more, but i guess now we know.

i love(d) you more.
The saddest part is telling you I'm fine The saddest part is when I can't look into your eyes The saddest part is me believing it's alright The saddest part is I can't state what's been on my mind The hardest thing was not remembering Cause in my mind, it's all over, they are swirling It's here and there and I've been trying Trying so hard to get them off but I can't stop thinking The most painful is me still holding Still trying to save what's left but there's nothing Letting my mind assume that we can go back to the beginning But I also knew that we can't because the story's end is nearing The most painful sight is you too is hurting But we're left no choice we aren't for each other's loving You are the Sun that shines in the morning While I am the Moon that hovers darkness in the evening And the saddest part, the saddest part is me telling you lies That I'm not hurting, I didn't cry Not a river when I lay at night That I am happy and fine and I don't mind

The Saddest Part
Did you know you broke my heart? Without even say a single word But just the way we fell apart It felt like they **** you with a sword I believed I was by your side When you told me your dream so shameless Even if we’re as different as day and night I wanted to insist this would be endless I agree all the blame is mine For not having realized I was wrong All was so clear but I was blind Thinking in the things we could’ve done Did you know you broke my heart? And I blamed you all this time Well, here comes the saddest part I still can’t get you out of my mind

Did You know...?
The saddest thing that I've seen in my life Is seeing someone who used to care Not care anymore and accept the position they're in

Saddest thing
The loneliest people are the kindest, The saddest people smile the brightest, the most damaged people are the weirdest... all because they don't wish to see anyone else suffer the same as they did.

The saddest thing is that I no longer feel the pain of someone leaving me. I'm used to it.

The saddest thing
all the pain was because of you, all the sacrifices and love that's true. I hope that I can be yours too, for you're the only song I'd like to listen to. the message of yours is clear, it's okay to lose me and you're not in fear. you're my saddest song, the one and only, and I'll love the whole you endlessly. you're the last song I'd like to feel, and the last song I'd love to hear. I'll be your forever lover, a lover that you won't even remember.

my saddest song.
You pull me in close at night like you never left, its beautiful, and you feel the happiness too. Come morning your mind fills with regret, your heart became weak in the night, longing for escape from the loneliness. I call, you show, we talked, I kissed, we held each other, my heart reconnected to its other half, a feeling of warmth and completeness rushes over my body like a river over the rock bottom, I made love to you in my most true form, ego and self righteous set aside for you, to take me how I am. Your morning text, tells a different story, forbidden love, you call it. A rush of passion due to us never to be together. you need to find yourself and I am no longer a plan for your future. I know what I feel, and I know you feel it too... Ill hurt myself steping into your fire again and again, to prove that you belong with me. I would think the night was a dream, but you left yourself here, a bobby pin, something so small to prove to me that you and I are real. Soon ill be impervious to your pain, and you will stop hiding and running from your feelings,  this jackal you have become will hide no more.

The hide and the jackal
I feel so empty today. Sometimes I wish I could stand here and Fade away. So that no one could see the tears running down my face.

Fade away
The tears of a final farewell are the saddest of them all.

You once asked me what I'd do if you asked me to stop being friends with you I said - "I'd ask why, and I'd feel sad" - "I'd never be the same person again" - "But I can't really force someone to be my friend" You thought I needed to fight more for you and then you said "Know that will never happen." "I would never ask you to stop being friends." You never did, You just left. I'm no longer the same person So I guess, in a way we both kept our words.

Re-reading
Thought I must be in a dream. when you sang me the sweetest music. It was was then that i fell in love. When you took me to your home, Signing about hope. For once, I wasn't occupied by sorrow. Lets listen to more of your music. While we rest in your home. Together fighting of sorrow. Only focusing on our hopes. Thinking of our summer love. And talking about our dreams. See I've been working on a high hope. That maybe we have a shot for more than love. So Lets write some music. That will stop us dwelling on sorrow. We'll sing a song about our wildest dreams. And maybe this will be our home. We can do what we like in our home. Wasn't that our biggest hope? Wasn't that our brightest dream? Can't you see it, my love? A place without sorrow. Where we can play our music. There is nothing stronger than our love. And we won't give into sorrow. For as long as we are together, we dream. Waiting for the baby to join this happy home. We write new joyous music. And it is a reality, our biggest hope But sometimes you lose the fight against sorrow. And nothing is like what was in your dream. It did nothing having hope. Disappointment moved into our home. I never thought it would end like this, my love. So now sorrow takes your place in this home. There is no more hope, i have no more dreams. Because you see my love is gone, and now I write only the saddest of music.
