Sympathy Quotes

Inside a wall of ice
no sound can break out free,
I have been trapped within
as what seems eternal now;
a hell of all my own,
no one can reach me here.

As sorrow seeps inside the cold,
a barren world, so lost the warmth of love.
(Poem by Tirrell)

As I looked into
Those crystal blues,
I saw the face
I always knew.

I searched your eyes,
And you searched mine.
We stood in silence,
Our hands intertwined.

You held me close,
We didn’t say a word.
But as the sun set,
My vision blurred.

I knew it was time
To say goodbye,
I released your hand,
And began to cry.

I didn’t see you after that,
I couldn’t stand the pain.
That same night,
I went insane.

Not long after,
We chose to end our lives.
I see him now,
We both used knives.
(Poem by Chloe Owens-Hess)

There once was a girl who cried everyday,
and to everyone that asked, she would say she’s okay.

This girl always had to step out of class,
because of that she hardly passed.

Out in the school halls she would cry,
because she would suffer for her friend rather than die.

The reason for her suffereing is without a doubt her mother
Who threatens the girl so much that this girl turned to others.

This girl always used mechanical pencils to carve words into her skin,
rather than committing the ultimate sin.

When they fought her mother threatened to put her up for adoption that night.
Making the girl cry with all of her might.

The very next day at school the girl cries with her friend.
Wishing and hoping for the nightmare to end…

This girl endured life for this one certain friend who to her is more like a sister
and if her mother makes the people take this girl away, her friend will really miss her.

For the girl’s friend has lost so many loved ones that were so close,
that she would kill herself if she lost that one girl that suffered for her the most.

So here is this one girl with a friend so true,
crying and talking until their final day together is through…

But what most people don’t know and what most people can’t see..
Is that this girl… is me.
(Poem by Brandy aka Poemish)

last evening, Space failed to blink stars,
closing her eyes behind cover
of black, blanket cloud
Heaven weeping her deluge of woes

- fat, great torrents
suffusing troubled children
with her sorrow.

today village streets
are littered with detritus
- a graveyard of umbrellas,

lives washed away by the flood
of her outpouring

grotesque gargoyles
spout murky water

laughing at us …
(Poem by Niamh D)

I see you.
At night when you intrude in on my dreams.
The ones where I always end up in your arms,
Knowing nothing but the love we share.

I see you.
When you tap your pencil on your desk when you’re frustrated.
Or when you lift weights in gym.

I see you.
In my daydreams.
When I fantasize of what could be.

If only you saw me.
(Poem by Kyla H)

My mother always used to care
From an accident to a loose tooth
But lying to her I did not dare
All she wanted was the truth

On vacation our family went
Not having responsibility
Just enjoying the time we spent
And all of the tranquility

I’ll never recover from her loss
Wishing she was still here
Always praying to the cross
Trying not to break a tear

I just want you to know
I’m sorry for way back when
For when my last day will show
We will meet, once again.
(Poem by Barrett Wiley)
