sad poetry
The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.
Dark Cage
My dark cage in silver glass Allows me to see in the dark For twelve years I tried to run fast But the guardian of my hell mark Caught me and took me in Yanked my feet and blinded my eyes. Tried to be master the tool of a god That never gets rotten nor ever dies I tried to escape million times over, oh lord. I won’t see the mountains nor the blue skies. My cage is dark and make me shy My heart beats and that almost die When the muse is wandering around I feel my sorrow so deep and prefund. In the dark I am only allowed to write In a old and broken notebook and poems born And monster lurks deep in the dark Watching over me while I dare to sleep, I learn. In the dark there is no space for any spark A spark of hope could arise from my fingers But the monster is vigilant and the cage hurts My eyes bleed and hurt My body yells and the voice hurts. But I will be free, you will see. Freedom will come, you will see.

The rain was fearsome, the way the streets were flooding from the storm, you and I rushed out your old red Mazda, running into a hotel down highway 59. It wasn’t the first time we had set foot in this hotel, but it was our last.
Emerald Eyes PoetryPublished 7 months ago in Poetsslice my throat with a paper cut and paint my face with streaks of the blood.
Dark liquor reveals inner demons, Clear liquors speak the lies we're telling, Stop speaking to me if you can't see, The once white lies have darkened where I'm dwelling.

stalemate
I toss you away...you stick like cling wrap. We grapple, you win. Again. I build up my strength, Toss a bomb in your face...you bat it away like a gnat.

i know you are not good for me. Yet, I believe I need you as much as I need the various organs that keep me functioning As every poem I pen for you,
