I am TOO happy....

I love sad poetry.. its my thing I enjoy writing and reading it... Most of my poems are sad but now I want to read some VERY SAD poetry...

Ive tried this before and I hope this time I will find one that is just what Im looking for..

So here is the deal.. simply post your best sad poem or the best sad poem that you know of...

Oh and here are some requirements:

------------------------------------------------------------
1. It must not be about lost love or broke hearts n stuff

2. Not about people cutting themselves and not about suicide

3.Not about sexual offences or sexual abuse
------------------------------------------------------------

Everything else is ok so make me cry people.. =D

I've always wanted to write a sad love poem.. but if you can't have lost lvoe or broken hearts .. how .. what then?

What if it's about like...someone dying?

That can break people's hearts too, and I didn't know if you just meant broken hearts in a romantic sense, or a general sense

Yes that is ok... as long as it is not suicide...
And yes broken hearts ina romantic sense is what e meant

There are tons of sad things besides love:

Hunger
War
Deciet
Revenge
Extinction
Abortion
Unwealth
Sickness

and so on for ever....

Well.

I have a poem about Homosexuality. It's not the best written, but on the comments I got I believed it made a few cry. Obviously, you will only cry if you believe the Homosexuals should have their rights, so if not, I'm sorry, but that's the saddest I get . . .
It's called "My Enemy {Homosexual Poem}" if you want to give it a try.

Oh i have some check out my poems... i write a poem that was last year its about my brother that i loss. thanks

Shall we say that everyone should post the poem they think is the most sad one?

Yes this would save som trouble... Initiate this imidietly...

Lol. Lazy people. =] Again, this is about as "crying" sad as I get. [Shrugs] I hope to make you cry. ;]
[Oh, and I wrote this awhile ago -- I AM aware it's horribly written, but I wanted to tell a story.]

My Enemy.

My lover stands in front of me;
My lover is my enemy.
Our love all seemed to make sense,
But our lies were our only defense.

Two lovers; we're plain to see,
Are simply two that are meant to be.
But of two who feel so much devotion,
There is very much commotion.

Walking alone on the streets one day,
Holding hands, people look in dismay.
A smile on our faces; we hold on tight,
For we won't give up this frightening fight.

Bang, bang; a gun is heard,
And suddenly it all seems absurd.
Holding my love tight in my arms,
Pray can I take her from harm...
But now it's my turn to look up and say,
"God, why are you being this way!
Out of discrimination, out of hate,
Was this really our final fate?"

I fell to the ground, no longer can I stand,
As I take her bloody head within my hands;
Pulling her close and glare at the sky,
As a tear falls gently from my eyes,
I look up and ask the very sky,
"Did anyone else see this woman die?"

A young woman came to me then,
A display of love, a display of no sin,
And in her sweet smelling arms she took me,
To tell me that my love could now be free;
I closed my eyes and finally cried,
Because of that night, my one and only died.

Our love all seemed to make sense,
But our lies were our only defense.
My lover stands no longer in front of me,
My lover was my soul enemy.

That was pretty good I must admit... you 3 are very good at poetry...

Not crying yet though =P

Keep em coming this is GREAT =)

^^^
Eh.
... Hm.
I'll try to write another that is a possible water-works one ... I love a good challenge.

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Yes challenging is great inspiration, a clubmate on this site challanged me to write a poem about abortion... According to him I did pretty well but I never thought I could write something like that..

If I would list things that I find very sad would that help you? =D

But that would be TOO easy right =D?

^^^
I was actually going to ask you, but had an idea. Well, more of a title.

So... What makes you cry? I know I can incorporate it into the title, no problem. =]
Give me a challenge . . . just because you are giving me SOMETHING to write about, by no means mean I will be able to do it. =] Challenge me.

Oh, and a challenge IS a great way of inspiration. =]

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Here is one thing then...

I find it sad when a person that has nothing, finds something and when all seems great looses it somehow...

Now then, make me a sad litle boy =)

And one day I hope that you will challange me ....

I WILL make you cry. ;]
Give me a few days. =]

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Knock yourself out... =D

This made my other friend cry..but I don't know about you.

All right. I'm back.
I don't think this will do the job, but I'm trying. Tell me if I got closer.
And, to make it more emotional, read it as a script... It might make you cry then.

For Every Heartbeat {Quadruple Ottava Rima}

Dedicated to the play "I'm Not Stupid." This play is about a mother who kills her "stupid" son [mentally disabled, really] because she thinks he is worth nothing more than a dog. Give me honest critic.
```````````````````````````````````

For every heartbeat there is a stronger one,
Dancing in the moonlight of hope and prayer.
Even though you think you have no where to run,
God will show you a special kind of care.
And even though they all poked their fun,
God will shelter you and cover your share.
You may not be loved by arms of mother,
But here in Heaven we are all God's brother.

"Do you even love him as a true son?
"Do you even care his feelings hurt like yours?"
"He's like a dog; next, I'll get a real one."
"I can't believe you just said that; he's not a chore."
"He's nothing to me; he's not a true son!"
"He is mentally disabled, but he's yours."
"He is a human being, not a log."
"I don't love him . . . he's nothing but a dog."

"I can't believe you did it! You're crazy!"
"I'll have you committed for what you have done!"
"I didn't do it! A dog that was lazy!"
"He wasn't a dog! . . . to shoot him with a gun!"
"He was a dog! I swear I'm not crazy!"
"I swear I'll put you away . . . he was your son!"
"He was stupid; he was no son of mine."
"I'll have you committed for your crime."

For every heartbeat there is a stronger one,
Dancing in the moonlight of hope and prayer.
Even though you think you have no where to run,
God will show you a special kind of care.
And even though they have all poked their fun,
God will shelter you and cover your share.
You may not have been loved by arms of mother,
But here in Heaven we are all God's brother.

That is a very good poem indeed and the idea is excellent
But it happens too fast.. the concept is perfect but everything is rushed... The story is too big to be put in just 2 stanzas... since it is rushed it will loose alot of its effect... I mean it is sad how the mother kills the son but it would be more sad if you showed how the son fealt, their conversations and how the son loves his mother even though his love is not returned or something like that.... This would work as an amplifier since by getting to know the characters better we feel more for them and therefore mourn when they die...
This is ONLY my personal honest opinion so it does not have to be true... its just a thought =)

However it is the best sad one so far... =)

^^^
I understand. But, you see, it's a play, thus very short. Actually, it's a prose, but yeah. They only explain the conversation between the mother and the Doctor...But, maybe I'll add a few stanzas when I feel better.

Thank you for your honest opinion.

Orphan child by becca

Um . Well it`s ABOUT a love, but I didn`t move it to the love section till a while ago . It was in sad .

`Left Broken

It`s a bit long . But most people say`d it brought them near tears .
..__MiNDYY

Haha I doubt this will bring you to tears, but this one is about a husband dying the war...so that might not work since it's sort of lost love I guess but yeah..

Morningstar

Burning cinders from Heaven fell from the raven sky,
As she wiped the frantic tears from her broken eyes,
And picking up shards of the golden stars in distress,
She put together a perfect little wedding dress.

But on her hands and knees she begged for you,
Asking when you'd come home from the army crew,
And with tears clouding her sky blue eyes she bowed her head,
Tracing her quivering lips painted in crimson red.

And as she held your tattered picture up to the sky,
She said: 'Oh Mr. Morningstar, please tell me why,
My heart seems to be breaking, and there is no groom,
His last letter just returned to me, smelled like my perfume,
With a certificate saying he would not be coming home,
But little Abby, she is now almost fully grown,
Without a Daddy to be there at Parent's night;
But she stood still; her hands were shaking with fright,
As she held her speech and read with tears in her eyes,
Telling all of her friends about his final good-bye,
And as she held her hands up in a loving prayer,
The spotlight shone bright down on her golden hair.
I know he would be so proud to see her standing strong,
But Mr. Morningstar, I know this isn't where we belong.
People always watch, as we walk on through town,
Expecting to see us smiling, no longer sad and down,
And with their sympathy and fake apologies,
It sets my heart on fire, burning to a mad debris,
And on my knees I'm begging for another chance,
One last chance for a simple last dance.'

And as she finished, she looked up to a golden smile -
Saw herself walking down the shattered wedding aisle,
On her right hand, there was the wedding ring,
And in her porcelain ear he lightly began to sing:

'I want you to keep on living like I'm still there,
And my little Morningstar, this is my prayer,
You shine so bright from so far away,
And I know I'm the smile you wear everyday,
But baby, you got to go on and keep on living,
Your hearts got a lot of love, so keep on giving,
I want to see you smile again, so know that I'm alright
Keep on going and don't you dare give up on me tonight.'

And as she tilted her head to cry,
She looked up to the broken sky,
But from the side of her eyes she swore she seen,
Him standing there watching her in his army green.
