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.

2. 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?

3. 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...

4. 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.

5. 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. -
6. 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...

7. 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...

8. 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. -
9. The Stars Above
When I Was LonelyOrange and Pink shoot across the sky,
I can see it from where I lie,
The sun is setting, going to sleep,
The dark surrounds, like the ocean deep,
The stars come, twinkling lights,
Glittering diamonds, What a sight,
I lie in the grass and up I stare,
My body goes numb as I forget all my cares
I like to gaze up at the stars,
So I can forget my cares and all my scars,
I have no one to look after me,
The real me is someone no one can see,
So I'll wait until I find some sort of love,
And until then it's just me and the stars above.Latest Shared StoryThank you for helping me cry. I usually stop myself, but this time I let them go. Thank you again. Your poetry is beautiful.

10. 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,

11. 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.

12. Butterfly
Poem About Needing LoveI was sitting on the bench in the park one day,
And saw a butterfly coming my way.
I opened my hand, and to my surprise,
the butterfly landed; consumed in cries.
I asked the little one,
"What is wrong?"
and then the little one began to sing me a song,
"The sky is dark and my days are grey, and there's nobody here to lift the
clouds away."
I sat there quietly for a moment or two and then I had decided what to do.
I looked at that butterfly that was consumed in cries,
and told her promptly, "I tell no lies.
Your skies are dark and days are grey because you have no love to light your way."
The butterfly finally stopped her crying,
opened her wings and went off flying,
I sat on that bench until it was dark,
and then I finally left the park.
day after day had long since passed,
I thought I'd seen that butterfly for the last,
and then on a nice and sunny day,
I heard a little voice say to me, "Hey."
I turned around, and to my surprise, there she was with her 3 little butterflies.
I stared in awe as she spoke to me.
She said to me, "You've set me free,
you've lifted the dark from the skies, and now I see no grey through my eyes,
I want to thank you for all you've done, and to let you know that you're our number 1."
And after that she flew away,
and I haven't seen her since that day,
but now that I know her troubles are done,
I continue walk in the warm summer sun. Latest Shared StoryThis poem is so cute. Good writing. My husband and I were in Branson, Missouri, visiting and while standing outside, a big butterfly came flying by. It flew around and around, so I put my...

13. 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...

14. 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. -
15. Thinking Of You
I'm sitting here staring at the stars, thinking of you!
I feel so alone when you're not around,
It feel's as if the walls are coming down.
I close my eyes, and you're here.
I see your face, feel your touch, and taste your kiss.
I'm constantly thinking of you.
When something goes wrong, and I'm down,
Thinking of you always brings me around.
When you're gone, my world disappears.
Though thinking of you make's me glad,
Being away from you makes me sad!
I'm thinking of you.
If you ever feeling alone just call on me I'll be home.
I miss you so much I can't bear the pain,
I only have myself to blame.
You're the best guy I ever known,
I only wish I could have you for my own.
You stole my heart from the beginning,
Now you're leaving. I'm thinking of you.
I'm so lucky to have you in my life.
I wish you could always be by my side.
Because you need to know.
You'll always have a place here with me
From now till eternity.
I'm lying in bed
Thought's of you spinning through my head.
And in the bottom of my heart
we will never be apart.Latest Shared StoryThis poem is me all over. That is all I do is think of my old man. I feel lost without him. Part of it is we were inseparable if you seen one the other one wasn't far behind. I love reading...

16. Waiting For Love
I can feel you near so I turn around,
There you stand with the smile I love.
My heart is beating rapidly now as I look into your eyes.
I reach out my hand but you hesitate.

Your hands move to my shoulders and hold me in place.

I am hurting and want to bawl. I hear you say, "I promise we will kiss someday."
I lift myself from your loving arms and nod in understanding.
"I know you will heal soon. I will wait until you do.
Just remember I am here for you whenever or whatever you need me for."
You nod your head.
We hug once again and it's time for us to temporarily part.
My heart and stomach ache because I know I'll miss you horribly.
So here I am just waiting for that day when I finally hear you say, "Will you be mine? My one and only?"

Wishing To Be Loved In ReturnHave you ever set your heart on someone
Though you didn't stand a chance?

18. Words Unspoken
It's been 2 months since you left
And I think about you everyday,
Whenever I get lonely
I remember what you use to say
Never have I loved someone
As much as I love you
And even though you hurt me
My feelings will always remain true
I have so much to ask you
So much I want to say
Why did you leave me?
Why did things end up this way?
I think back to the last day I saw you
And the hurt that was in your eyes
I never once thought
That, would be our goodbyes
If there was anything I could take back
It would be the lonely nights
And my selfish ways
And maybe instead of writing this I would be holding you tight -
19. The Kiss
I hoped that he would love me,

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.

20. Take My Hand
Chasing After Unrequited LoveI thought that I was chasing dreams
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...
