#tragic poems on Hello Poetry

your shiny fangs
kissed my skin.
i closed my eyes,
"i will never win."
you sipped my blood
to quench your thirst.
yes, that's right. drink it.
drink it
until there's nothing left.
drink it
until my skin turns pale.
drink it
until my heart stops beating.
drink it
until i stop breathing.
if this is what makes you happy,
i'm willing to die for you.

she doesn't have any self-love.

Betrayed

Cracked open the earth
Dust to the sky
The land felt alone

Mother nature penned a pleading
Knowing what we've been needing
Her advice never heeded
Her love so misunderstood

She wants to love and she would but..

'How could you have done this to me?'

Her words printed in matter across canvas
Love was all she was..

But no matter mattered
So now she has lit the canvas ablaze
Her heart a maze now
She feels betrayed
Canvas ablaze...
I'm amazed the earth is not razed

We took all she was
Left her to rot alone inside

She turns her gaze to life on her surface
She is dying now below and above
Inside and out
Irreparably harmed by those she loved

For the last time she tried to care
A split second only..
The result of existing lonely..

That was when the earth cracked
She has now unleashed her pain

As fire rose from a betrayed heart
Ash blanketed a broken beauty..

Covered in the darkness of her mind
She is going to leave us behind
Fury of millennia
A world of blood and septicemia

Those on her surface prayed to God
They were heard and ignored
He agreed with her
Because we did this to him too..

The pit named Hell exists on earth now
It was us that did this to her..

Have we no shame?
Or is it ignorance?

Either way..

We got what we deserved

Because even humans among humans..
Can be as heartless as a demon..

And as a whole..
We are killing our home

Just like wild animals gone extinct
Our hearts sink as fading begins
In a battle of violence or hate
No one wins

We just drown in our sins..

We can turn it around..
But..

8.4 billion people..

Technology advances
Never maturity

Some call me crazy..

Time will tell

World is hectic nowadays. It made me wonder. Earth is an object. But what if it was actually alive?
Put myself in her shoes for a few minutes.. This poem is how I feel the world may see humanity

A victim. Defiler.

Limbs have faltered amidst a fast-paced act,
Liquid fills you up.
Antagonized in desperation,
Reach out for the gun.
This moment of ecstatic flavour
Brought misery.
The shivers, the strangest twists.
Defiler is you.

Night is filled with red light from the sun
And white-red mixture.
Calls upon you the servant of god,
With vicious intentions.
Violate your existence,
They forced the life out of you.
In the end it all comes in place,
The void is within.

Who expected nothing less of you,
Whose eyes filled with tears,
They would follow you and die,
They'd always protect you.
Would you follow their lead into light,
Or succumb to this weakness?
The fear of hurting them pains your mind.
Defiled defiler.

May never escape this nightmare unscathed,
May never reside in this homeland.
The pain subsides yet the emptiness grows,
The one that was you is no longer.
They would have never understood,
You'd never agree for a half-life.
Trapped in a cage by events of the night,
Your will still roams free on the inside.

Impostor

Another time. Another life.
Forgotten memories of years yet to pass us by.
I was destined to fail at the start.
Always knew what would tear us apart.

My mind rewritten. Echoes form.
I have reached a hollow hall.
Eyeless face stares into my soul,
The fate is imminent.

I'm in denial of the consequence.
They told me i enslaved fate.
Usurper of the lives of others.
Accomplished nothing great.

I return to familiar places,
But there is nothing for me.
I turned away from those who loved me
In a moment of hate.

The mirrors follow me,
And i stare deep into my eyes,
It's an empty void.
As promised, the gaze returns.

You said I could live forever.
None would know of my deeds.
In the end you forgave me.
So i will never forgive myself.

The fading sun and the death of clouds fit this scenery.
Bloodgiver slain and intruded, by impostor of me.
In the end i refuse all that's happened. And lie to myself.
You had never existed. My shadow prevails.

My first poem i wrote months ago, don't like it but decided to post

Sir magician

Beautiful hair with a magician hat
every girl falls for him they're blind as a bat.
with his amazing smile and long sleeve striped shirts
when the doors are closed he really hurts.
he's really insane always drinks away from the pain.
He's actually crazy as a clown
But in the public, he'll never frown.
He loves the attention and the gifts the ladies send
but does he realize this will all end?
I tried to make him think and see with his eyes
but the things he keeps saying are a bunch of lies
oh sir magician let me help you
you're all I care about
that's so true...

Tragedy—

What a tragedy it is—
To find love where you are not wanted.
To know peace while waging war.
To be a raging fire—frozen in place.

Oh what a tragedy it is—
—to be whole but forever incomplete.

What a tragedy it is—
To be loved yet still lash out with lust.
To own peace but still hunger for war.
To have absolute control.
—To give up your soul.

Oh what a tragedy it is—
—to think free will the same as freedom.

What a tragedy it is—
To have never tasted love or felt it’s touch.
To be without it’s sparkle and still wander the darkness.
To yearn for something you cannot imagine.
To crave passion and embrace—
Words to describe things you cannot.

Oh what a tragedy it is—
—to know love, only as something you’ve never had.

Tragic is the love we wish away. The love we don’t notice every day.

Ashore

There are things we spend years forgetting,
But with just a tiny wave of hope all that forgetting is washed ashore.

Untitled

Who would have told
that I'm just a memory,
living in you mind.
An imagery of someone else's catastrophe
and a dream come true tragic story,
spattered on every inch of my skin.

And I will be like that, if you never met me.

Parapet

~
I am lost in the haze of memories of us as one

My eyes gaze the horizon as the sky and sea kiss

I haven't gotten how we smiled with the sun

and cried with the rain

How our secrets of the heart were held by dandelions

and each seed took to the sky, so free.

I have yet to truly resign myself to the thought of you being gone

For every embrace was and still is sacred to me

The sunset bathes in the sea, leaving orange ripples

How I wish I could've used the light to banish your darkness

To take the shade into a stone and skip it on the seas

And we can embrace the songs of nature as we laugh

and ride away, our turbulence forgotten

I envision the facets of faces of people I knew and know

Watching me as they bob on boats

But the wind brushes away the mirage and I am before the horizon

once more

As I hope that wherever you are,

That you see the same sun, same stars and skies

that I do

from this parapet
~

For the past few days, I have been placing myself on one of the highest hills, and just reflecting on life and the choices made. I don't want to hurt anyone, yet I know that I am capable of it, intentionally or not. Truly one of the most poignant things of being human.
My heart has been bleeding so much the past few weeks...
I deeply wish I had the power to heal, I really do...
I hope I can make peace with every storm in me as I keep moving forward regardless.
Be back soon with more!
Much love,
Lyn x
