Sad poems touch the heart easily.. Maybe you cant overcome sadness, but you can forget it.

Take care<3
Perfectly written:)

Oh, andrea

I don't know if it was the poem or because I'm in a sad mood right now or the combination of both, but I felt sadness in every sentence.

specially within this lines:

The days I fear grow shorter
as my sunshine fades away
storm clouds call for a fever
to burn those shadows to ashes.

I choose to run the streets of new
and frolic within a greener pasture
but these hands won't let me escape
a riddled past and those tears upon

the window pain....

---Thanks for writing even though it pains you to write it.
I know it will be better to write about greener pastures and happier thoughts or memories.
But it's better to write what we feel and how we feel at the moment. and :( we can share a box of tissues.

Ooh! this is so sad and heart touching. Been a while i didn't read and comment on your poems. I miss doing so. To me the subject is holding on to a home he or she use to reside in. Starting all over in a new home isn't favourable, with the thoughts of leaving a house full of haunting momories. Nevertheless, the subject wishes to fight this daunting feeling, and move on with a new life in a new home. My interpretation can be wrong but that's all i thought of. As usual of you, Aunt Andrea, this is an enticing poem, however a sad one but penned so beautifully, with unique metaphors and words. I love the descriptions, which is crystal clear. Another exquisite piece of yours. Bravo!! ;-)..

As days to fear shorter, as my sunshine fades away,that is sadness well described.
Sadness can be overcome, some day.
Beautiful poem, so sad

Sista, stay strong. Blessed Be!

Excellent write, I like your choice of words. I appeciate words like pasture, sunshine, and many more that relates to everyday things yet describes pain. Excellent

Andrea, I am took back by your opening stanza as it is just excellent. It really hooked me in and touched me. As for the rest of the poem it was smashing. It is a great write. Very deep and well worded.

5/5

Andrea this poem is filled with such sadness, truly heartbreaking. Each stanza draws me in and my heart goes heavy with your words.

I am sorry that you are in this pain and that you are going through this. I hope everything is alright.
