Sad Poems

Poem By Andrea Pattison

Carnivore

Loneliness comes on midnight winds,

To light upon your shoulder.

And the hours grown long, the night, black

Illuminated by the stark white faces of lost lovers.

 The silence of darkness

Is shattered

By the tinkling glass of your aloneness

As the distant laughter of yesterday echoes in your soul 

How long a night, or black an hour

When the heart is only one

And the solitary spirit becomes the prey

Of the great, devouring raven of loneliness.

Poem By Andrea Pattison

Close Every Door

Close every door to me, hide all the world from me,

Bar all the windows and shut out all the light.

Do what you want with me-hate me and laugh at me,

Darken my day and torture my night

I do not matter, I am only one person –

Destroy me completely, then throw me away.

If my life were important

I would ask : Will I live, or will I die?

But I know all the answers lie far away from this love…

Close every door to me, keep those I love from me –

For I shall find my own piece of mind,

I have been promised a love of my own…

The sun is shining, my days have glistened – because of this love!

And because of this love,

There is no need to close every door to me!!
