Short poems about grief. 30 words or less, most recently published poems first.
Sometimes God Makes Broken Babies
Missing parts
And broken hearts
So little girls
Can become little women
Always looking up
And asking
Why the fuck
Did you make me
Like this?
And broken hearts

Always looking up

Another Dawn Fades to Dusk
Nightmares calling
So I rush
Through the Pain

I am serious
I am serious
Don't make a fool
Of yourself
When you are talking to me
We are all
Brothers in heaven
Yes my Father
Made all of us
The earth is our
Temporally home
For now
Don't make a fool
Of yourself
When you are talking to me
We are all
Brothers in heaven
Yes my Father
Made all of us
The earth is our
Temporally home
For now

Cemetery in my lungs
You died
two days
before your birthday
and the card
I bought for you
sits on a shelf
as a reminder
of promises
unkept
two days
before your birthday
and the card
I bought for you
sits on a shelf
as a reminder
of promises
unkept

Vacant
It is said
Respect for the memories
For the personality
For which you once knew
Has far more value
Then the respect
For a vacant body
Respect for the memories

For which you once knew
Has far more value
Then the respect
For a vacant body

Years
I have been here for years;
Bid farewell dreams,
And dried up old tears,
And even now it seems
Each breath drawn
Goes with another step,
For I must carry on
With only what is left.
Bid farewell dreams,
And dried up old tears,
And even now it seems

I loved you
Homesick for a place
That no longer exists
A past
I cannot go back
I grew up too soon
I’d give up the moon
For another day with you
I loved you
That no longer exists
A past
I cannot go back
I grew up too soon
I’d give up the moon
For another day with you
I loved you

Quero viver a vida
Quero viver a vida
That my father gave
To me
I will not
Waste my life
Sleeping in
During the morning
Because if I do that
I won't sleep
At night
So I must stay wake
During the day
That my father gave
To me
I will not
Waste my life
Sleeping in
During the morning
Because if I do that
I won't sleep
At night
So I must stay wake
During the day

Naught
I never dreamed,
In my very
Darkest thought,
There would come
A day that was,
Where you
Were not.
In my very

To Hide a Heart
sunshine shadows cast
reeds intertwined to darkness
a shelter is born
reeds intertwined to darkness
a shelter is born

If You Lived and I Died
Fascinating, isn’t it?
How life and death could change
Another’s life
How life and death could change
One’s life
So, wouldn’t it be life changing
If you lived and I died?
How life and death could change
Another’s life
How life and death could change
One’s life
So, wouldn’t it be life changing
If you lived and I died?

Gems
My nieces
Are star-cut gems;
My nephew,
The very stature
Of worth;
My own children;
Half-drunken dreams,
That shall know
No birth.
