Lonely Poems
Poems about Loneliness
After a breakup, there is a great feeling of loneliness that overcomes us. For so long, we felt that we were a part of something bigger than ourselves. Suddenly we are left with the realization that we no longer have another to lean on. The loneliness is overwhelming. We have become used to having someone with us all the time. We probably made all our decisions together. To suddenly be alone after intense togetherness is a very lonely feeling.

1. Gone Forever
I miss the times when you were here,
Telling me to have no fear.
To hold my head up high and strong,
Add happy notes to my sad song.
I miss the way you look at me
As if I were too blind to see.
The path I'm on might hurt and scathe,
But all goes well if you just have faith.
I miss the sound of your sweet voice,
Through bitter times a saving noise
That told me what was right and wrong
But rang in my ears for far too long.
A caring person, you were such
Who helped and hurt me, oh so much.
You'd guide and mislead me through the day
You left me lonely when I'd rather you stay.
Over things like that you had no control.
A rock set in motion will continue to roll.
No matter how hard you tug and heave,
You were always pushed and forced to leave.
Then one day you never returned,
My tears so hot they almost burned.
Aware now about what I lack,
But crying and mourning won't bring you back.
For me to let out what I need to say.
I can't do much more than pray.
No longer am I weak; my heart's quite strong
From adding a happy chorus to a sad, sad song.

2. 6 Lonely Tears
Poem About Crying Yourself To SleepFirst I shed a single tear because we are apart,
wanting nothing but to be with you,
to make a brand new start
The 2nd tear I shed is a lonely tear indeed.
My mind goes wild, my body goes numb,
and my heart begins to bleed.
The 3rd tear I cry wanting to feel your touch,
to taste your kiss and lips on mine,
I want so very much.
The 4th tear I cry thinking of you at night,
wanting you to hold me
as I grip my pillow tight.
The 5th tear I cry stains my pillowcase.
My mind drifts off in la la land
as I take us to that place.
The 6th tear I shed my thoughts go very deep,
simply dream of me and you
as I drift off fast to sleep.Latest Shared StoryWe’ve been best friends since like 5 years ago when we were so young. We shared moments together, and we completely understood each other. As days passed by, was naturally cared for each...

3. Should Have Told You I Loved You
You said you didn't love me.
You said you didn't care.
You said I wasn't worth it,
And then you gave me a stupid stare.
I told you that was fine.
I told you I didn't mind.
I told you I wasn't upset,
And with that you left me behind.
Now I think about what happened
As I cry myself to sleep.
I tell myself that I'll be fine
And that I shouldn't have to weep.
I tell my family I am happy.
I tell my friends I'm OK.
But what I really am feeling
Inside of me is starting to go grey.
I should have told you I loved you.
I should have told you to stay.
But you said you didn't want to anymore,
And you turned away.
Now as we talk,
We joke, laugh, and play.
You think I've moved on,
While inside of me I am screaming, "STAY!"
You said you didn't love me.
I said I didn't care.
As I think about and regret it,
I know what we have we don't share.Latest Shared StoryI'm a junior, but this happened in my freshman-sophomore years. I became friends with a strange but well-known jock. He was kinda considered a class smarty pants. Within three months of our...

4. Love Is Not All
Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution’s power,
I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
Or trade the memory of this night for food.
It well may be. I do not think I would. -
5. Sometimes I Get Lonely
Poem About Waiting For The Phone To RingSometimes I get lonely
Instagram, Twitter, Facebook
Always connecting but not connected
Sometimes I get lonely
Looking to the future
Forgetting to be in the present

6. A Dream Girl
You will come one day in a waver of love,
Tender as dew, impetuous as rain,
The tan of the sun will be on your skin,
The purr of the breeze in your murmuring speech,
You will pose with a hill-flower grace.
You will come, with your slim, expressive arms,
A poise of the head no sculptor has caught
And nuances spoken with shoulder and neck,
Your face in pass-and-repass of moods
As many as skies in delicate change
Of cloud and blue and flimmering sun.
Yet,
You may not come, O girl of a dream,
We may but pass as the world goes by
And take from a look of eyes into eyes,
A film of hope and a memoried day. -
7. The Kiss
I hoped that he would love me,
And he has kissed my mouth,
But I am like a stricken bird
That cannot reach the south.
For though I know he loves me,
To-night my heart is sad;
His kiss was not so wonderful
As all the dreams I had.Latest Shared StoryYes! Been there! It kinda takes away from the romance. It might be best to keep trying to fly south.

8. Lone Gentleman
The gay young men and the love-sick girls,
and the abandoned widows suffering in sleepless delirium,
and the young pregnant wives of thirty hours,
and the raucous cats that cruise my garden in the shadows,
like a necklace of pulsating oysters of sex
surround my lonely residence,
like enemies lined up against my soul,
like conspirators in bedroom clothes
who exchange long deep kisses to order.
The radiant summer leads to lovers
in predictable melancholic regiments,
made of fat and skinny, sad and happy pairings:
under the elegant coconut palms, near the ocean and the moon,
goes an endless movement of trousers and dresses,
a whisper of silk stockings being caressed,
and womens breasts that sparkle like eyes.
The little employee, after it all,
after the weeks boredom, and novels read by night in bed,
has definitively seduced the girl next door,
and carried her away to a run-down movie house
where the heroes are studs or princes mad with passion,
and strokes her legs covered with soft down
with his moist and ardent hands that smell of cigarettes.
The seducers afternoons and married peoples nights
come together like the sheets and bury me,
and the hours after lunch when the young male students
and the young girl students, and the priests, masturbate,
and the creatures fornicate outright,
and the bees smell of blood, and the flies madly buzz,
and boy and girl cousins play oddly together,
and doctors stare in fury at the young patients husband,
and the morning hours in which the professor, as if to pass the time,
performs his marriage duties, and breakfasts,
and moreover, the adulterers, who love each other truly
on beds as high and deep as ocean liners:
finally, eternally surrounding me
is a gigantic forest breathing and tangled
with gigantic flowers like mouths with teeth
and black roots in the shape of hooves and shoes. -
9. Where Do I Go?
Where To Go For HelpWhere do I go
When I'm feeling so lost and I don't want to be found?
When I'm looking and listening for that peace in my heart.
But I know I'll never hear that sound.
Where do I go?
Where do I go when I'm trying to laugh but all I can do I cry?
I'm trying to keep on living because I'm not ready to die.
Where do I go because the sun never seems to shine?
Can you give me my life back? It's not yours, it's mine.
How do I keep going, how do I fight this fight?
I'm tired of feeling beat down, but I'm trying with all my might!
Where do I go when my head hangs so low?
Please give me an answer because I just don't know!
Where do I go?
Does it take very long
For me to find that peace and a place where I belong?
I need you to help me, help me to take a stand.
I'm scared to do it by myself; will you please take my hand?
Where do I go? Where do I go? Where do I go?

10. Waiting
Poem About Waiting For The One You LoveImagine the sun sinking
and dim turns to dark.
The silence that surrounds you,
the shadows that make their mark.
You wander around aimlessly,
too much time can be total hell.
Your heart hardened from waiting,
breaks with the bong of the clock's bell.
The clouds, they mask the moonlight,
The mirror, it mimics your pain.
You sit and sigh and close your eyes
and hear the repetition of the rain.

11. Kiss My Soul, Heal My Heart
Love, Betrayal, And HeartbreakI'm sitting here alone, my thoughts within the past,
Thinking about you, a love I hoped would last.
Your warm and tender heart that seems so far away,
This yearning deep inside me that I must obey.
Please don't leave me here alone; you must understand
That a lost love is like footsteps in the sand.
So, kiss my soul just one more time; that's all I ask of you.
And heal my heart that aches for you, as only you can do.
The truth is all I want to know; I seek it in your eyes,
But the only thing I see is that the truth is full of lies.
Hold me now; I feel my soul slowly fade away.
Let me know you love me too; your heart I won't betray.
Please don't leave me here alone; you must understand
That a lost love is like footsteps in the sand.
So, kiss my soul just one more time; that's all I ask of you.
And heal my heart that aches for you, as only you can do.
There is no place for me without you by my side.
A world without your love, the pain how can I hide?
I want to taste your lips, to feel your body rush,
And like a starving man, I hunger for your touch.
Please don't leave me here alone; you must understand
That a lost love is like footsteps in the sand.
So, kiss my soul just one more time; that's all I ask of you.
And heal my heart that aches for you, as only you can do.Latest Shared StoryHello, your poetry is so powerful. You put into words exactly what I struggle to convey. I've been living in Michigan since childhood, and there's a girl whose apartment I lived near. For...

12. A Valentine's Wish
Wishing To Be Loved In ReturnHave you ever set your heart on someone
Though you didn't stand a chance?
Have you ever wished that someone
Would think the way you do?
Have you ever fallen in love with someone
Who didn't love you too?
Have you ever tried to explain to them
The feelings in your heart,
Only to hear a response
That tears your heart apart?
Have you ever spent so much time with someone,
Even though it hurts inside?
Have you ever tried to save a friendship
By having your feelings hide?
Have you ever wanted that friendly hug to turn into a kiss?
Have you ever wished your heart would stop wishing
For those things that won't come true?
Have you ever wished that that someone would try to love you too?Latest Shared StoryYou should ask him why. Why don't he love you anymore? Why is the question that answers everything. Why?

13. Soul Mates
Trying To Find Your Soul MateI searched but never found you.
The paths we traveled never crossed
And now my life is winding down,
And I fear all hope is lost.
I saved a place inside my heart.
You were often in my dreams.
But you stayed always at a distance
And just beyond my reach.
I wondered if you grieved for me
And felt that longing deep inside.
Did you search the world for me in vain?
Or did you let that need subside?
Oh, I had my share of love and loss.
I knew happiness and pain.
I loved and was loved in return
But that emptiness remained.
I missed you though we never touched,
And I knew you from the start.
Your soul was mate to my own soul.
You shared the beating of my heart.
Time passed, but still you never came,
Though I never let you go.
You were a gift that I was promised,
The greatest love I'd ever know.
I wondered if our eyes once met,
But we chose to look away
And settled on some other loves
And thus our destinies betray.
This life is cruel and fickle.
It can lead our hearts astray
And blind us to what matters,
Putting roadblocks in our way.
Our searching becomes futile
When distractions take control.
We can't hear the pleading of our hearts
Or the desperation in our souls.
But you and I were meant to be,
Our souls met long ago.
So when the time is right for us,
Somehow, we both will know.
And maybe up in Heaven
Our souls will finally meet
And we'll share our love eternally
And forevermore we'll feel complete. -
14. Alone
He once again has forgotten me.
Many unreasonably long hours pass,
And I am still alone,
Not one word heard.
Worn out and blue I feel.
Haven't done much but still exhausted.
My thoughts belonging to him
Have distracted me throughout the day.
But like always,
Great times don't seem to last.
One day love, hugs, and kiss.
Promises to always be there.
The next, abandoned.
Tight burning words in my throat,
Waiting, a lot more patiently,
to be burst out.
I HATE YOU!
It is what I want to scream.
I MISS YOU!
Is what my heart yells.
Such pain is
My punishment
For falling into love's wings.
I am such a fool.
Such torture is
My prize
For falling into his arms.
I am only blind.Latest Shared StoryI am a woman of beauty and love. You promised me a life I dreamed of. We slept in your car and carried along, yet when it came to committing, you dropped the ball. In my mind I can't fathom...

15. The Weathering Of Love
Poem About Longing For LoveI'm sorry I love you as more than a friend,
But the love that I have doesn't come to an end.
You dwell in my thoughts, and to my mind I will keep
A love that's for you, a love I hide deep
Your word has the power to tear me to shreds,
But my heart is what sinks, a feeling of dread.
The sight of you brings me down to my knees,
The slightest of touches, as strong as a breeze,
A breeze of love stale and cold,
For it is not to me that your heart has been sold. -
16. What Is Love?
Why Haven't I Found Love?What is love
and why does love never find me?
Instead, broken hearts surround me,
And once again the wrong man found me,
saying he wouldn't hurt me,
but in the end he didn't deserve me
What is love
and why doesn't love know my name?
I prayed to God that it would change,
but true love never came.
What is love?
I ask myself time after time.
Why is love so blind?
or I shouldn't waste my time.
I guess broken hearts are only made for me,
because love finds everyone else but love never found me....Latest Shared StoryDear Ric,

17. Why?
Why Don't You Love Me?Why do you tear me down
When all I do is build you up?
Why do you hate me so much?
Why do you deny my touch?
Is drinking that important
and family so expendable?
You call me names
and tell me I'm the one to blame.
It's all my fault.
I deserve a verbal assault.
Not a bruise on my body,
only scars on my soul.
I am alone.
I am scared.
I'd be better on my own.
What happened to the love we shared?
I am fat, a slut, a whore, a liar,
when all I am is a crier.
You say I'm not faithful,
but it's our relationship that's not stable.
I don't deserve this.
I am a good person.
Let's try a kiss
to release my burden.
When will you stop?
Stop the drunken arguments that mean nothing.
I am tired, I am wore out, I can't go on
knowing I am not on top.
I want to mean more than a liquid you pour down your throat,
the one that drives people away from you.
Does it mean that much to you
that you have to see all you can lose before something means more?
I love you with all my heart and soul,
But I am tired -
tired of being put last
when you are so wired.
You have to know my every move,
but what do you do for me?
I don't ask much,
just asking for you to improve.Latest Shared StoryWhen I read this, I thought I wrote it myself. I have been with my husband going on 6 years. He would drink and come home mad. Sometimes I thought, "This man that I fell in love with is no...

While I was walking down those fast streams.
Chasing after love that will never be,

Just someone who can gently take my hand
And walk with me on the soft beach sand.Latest Shared StoryVery nice, Alokin. I think virtually everyone can identify with this as most of us have had a similar disappointment in our past, some even in the present I am sure. I was given good advice...

My heart fills with joy on hearing your sound.
For me, you are just like a precious gift of God,
As all in this world happens only with His nod.
