Poem About A Friendly Relationship After A Divorce

in Divorce Poems

I need to tell you something
that I hope you'll understand
It's hard for me to say these words
but, please, don't take my hand

I need to tell you something
that I hope you'll understand
It's hard for me to say these words
but, please, don't take my hand

For years I've had this feeling,
and no longer can I go on
My heart cannot deny
that this love has long been gone

I cannot really explain it
than to say the magic has disappeared
No longer do you make me smile,
no longer am I endeared

You haven't done anything wrong
Please don't take the blame
It's something that's inside of me,
a feeling I cannot tame

I know there's something more to life
than to go on feeling this way
Something I must find on my own
that will bring a new, fresh day

Now it's time for me to go my way
To say goodbye to you
I wish you all the very best
I wish you life anew

The Mystery Surrounding Dying And Entering Heaven

in Dying Poems

A patch of light shimmers from afar
Beckoning me towards blissful relief
Ethereal, inviting voices quicken my pace
Sweet scent of honeysuckle grows stronger with each stride

A patch of light shimmers from afar
Beckoning me towards blissful relief
Ethereal, inviting voices quicken my pace
Sweet scent of honeysuckle grows stronger with each stride

Tired, weary eyes start to close
Arms lift up to surrender
Worn feet hover above darkness below
Body begins to levitate on shimmering glow

But wait, I hear familiar voices
And I fight to return to bottomless void
Sore feet scrape frigid floor
The darkness pulls me back

And then I hear her voice
Sweet and clear as a mourning dove
"Surrender, my love, it's okay
I'll see you again someday"

Wavering no more,
I blow a kiss back into the dark
Glide forward, untethered, on starlit wings
Through gates of heavenly light

Overcoming Memories Of Sexual Assault

in Rape Poems by Teens

Images
branded into my memory,
hot with pain and guilt and hurt.

Images
branded into my memory,
hot with pain and guilt and hurt.

Images
flashing constantly
inside my head.

His greedy hands
touching me, feeling me,
wanting more, more, more.

Slithering up my thighs,
creeping down my back,
ricocheting fear through my being.

Images
of locked doors,
bolted windows, and closed shutters.

Remembrance of hot panic that
hijacked my soul
as the lights flickered off.

Images, images, images
boiling inside of me,
dying to be freed,

to be told, unleashed,
because I can't keep it a secret
any longer.

My words cut through
years of pain,
drunken, endless nights of

suffering and abuse, of
pain and guilt and hurt.
Pain, pain, pain that never ends.

I was surprised when others told me
they have gone through
the same.

I see images
similar to mine.
Images of

their father, brother, teacher
using them, hurting them.
Images of

the hands that cease to touch,
the consuming fear,
the guilt...

But I also see images of
healing, of escape, of
a better future.

I hold onto these images
as strength to persevere,
as a promise that life will get better.

It is not my fault.
I am not broken.
I have survived.

When I was little, about 1 or 2, the worst thing in the world happened to me. My mother was low on money for drugs and she wasn't bringing in enough men to feed me and have drugs, so she did...

Living With Chronic Anxiety

in Teen Mental Illness Poems

I whisper in her ear
Every second of the day
When the sun warms up the horizon with its rosy glow
When rain pelts the ground, turning it to muddy chaos

I whisper in her ear
Every second of the day
When the sun warms up the horizon with its rosy glow
When rain pelts the ground, turning it to muddy chaos
When whimsical stars shimmer against the velvet sky

I whisper in her ear
Every second of the day
Some days, she runs in the bitter cold
Wind whips her face, her muscles burn, and her chest constricts
As she tries to overpower my voice with pain

I then scream at her
Violently, incessantly, as I watch
Tears stream down her cold cheeks and I hear
Helpless whimpers escape her body as
She runs even faster in a futile attempt to outrun my voice

Some days, she paints in the kitchen
Her blush fluently moving across the canvas as she
Creates a model draped in an elegant gown

On those days, she barely seems to notice me, so I scream
Demanding she acknowledge my presence
And once again, she begs me to be quiet, but

I refuse

I watch silent tears trail down her face and her
Hope diminishes as she shakes from the roar of my voice

Last Goodbye
- Published: February 2017
Poem About Anticipatory Grief

in Grandmother Death Poems

You smiled at me through warm rays of sun.
You laughed with me in the grass.
You kissed me in clear broken water,
And now we say goodbye.

You smiled at me through warm rays of sun.
You laughed with me in the grass.
You kissed me in clear broken water,
And now we say goodbye.

I've said goodbye a million times:
When you went to work,
When I went to school,
But never did I think I'd have to say goodbye this way.

I stare at you now.
Your blank expression,
The warmth gone from your emerald eyes,
The smile vanished from your gentle mouth.

I sweep away a strand of hair
That falls across your forehead.
Your skin is cold and smooth.
Your hair is just the same.

I stroke your pale cheek one last time.
I kiss you on the nose.
I whisper in your ear.
I love you
And say my last goodbye.
