This is the place to search for a sad poem for that special person. The best resource for quotes and sad poetry.
The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out
the joy.

#18 The Town Hall Bell
I can smell the melting cheese on my spaghetti,
from the last time we had dinner.
I recall the details of a picture in an antiques shop
that I probably could not even find now.
The waitress grinding the pepper,
The tight curves of her white breasts.
The sun on the paint on the window,
My sweating forehead over the candle in a wine bottle.
The putrid taste of cheap beer, just to make the meal dante.
Ice cream and chocolate, just to watch her eat it.
My money for a week spent in one day.
For my old love is gone now,
So far, far away.
No candle may flicker, no music may play,
Nor flow like a river, like dinner that day.
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the
other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and
the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
--Carl Jung
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just
a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
--Helen Keller

Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's what's in the
middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance
to float up. And it will.
--Birdee Pruitt (Sandra Bullock) Hope Floats
Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
--Jean de La Fontaine
