The SADDEST Song / Poem / Story/line You've Ever Come Across

[october_sky]

One of the few songs I can listen to again and again without getting sick of it.

What I like most is the 'reality' of the song. It does happen. It is happening.

Some Lines from "Cry Ophelia" by Adam Cohen.


If you throw a stone, something's gonna shatter somewhere
We're all so fragile,
We're all so scared.

You say you wanna learn
How to live your life without tears?
But we've been trying to do that
For thousands of years

So go on and cry Ophelia
It's the only thing to do sometimes
You know I'm crying too
Right there with you
It's alright Ophelia
Everybody cries.

[_LoRrAiN3_]

I held her close to me
'Cause I know she breaks so easily
And then I told her
But I knew no matter how I tried to console her
She's just do the best she could
But there are times the best in no damn good
And no matter how you try to be kind
There's always still a part of you you leave behind
When it falls apart

Chorus: There's no easy way to break somebody's heart

I lied and told her she'd be fine
Though we both knew it was just a line
I had to do it
'Cause I'd a' said anytihng to help me get through it

Then she reached out for my hand
And her simple touch was more than I could stand
And I had to turn away
'Cause I knew all the hurt
That she was feeling I was feeling too
'Cause when it falls apart

Chorus:
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart

She could've gotten angry
And made me feel like a guilty child
But I realized that never was her style
I wanted her to hurt me
And not treat me like a friend
I wanted to to say there'd be someday
I'm come crawling on my kneeds to ask her back again
But she acted like a lady 'til the end
Oh, what a lady

I thought that she'd break down
But she smiled at me and never made a sound
And I guess she understood in her way
Cause her silence told me everything she could not say
When it falls apart
There's just no easy way
Chorus:
There's just no easy way
There's just no easy way to break somebody's heart

'til i get over you- Christina Millan

When will this river of tears stop fallin'
Where can I run so I won't feel alone
Can't walk away when the pain keeps callin'
I've just gotta take it from here on my own
But it's so hard to let go


Easier- Kandi feat Faith Evans

I thought my life was over without you
Thought I would be oh so sad darling
Cuz you left me here, to face all my fears
All by myself, with nobody else

Over You- Gabrielle

Get as close as we could be
Felt that you could see through me
You read my mind you knew my life
Became a part of me
Took for granted precious time
Thought we had it on our side
By some cruel twist of fate
I had to watch you fade away

[who?me?]

sooooooooo ssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddd...........

"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything its cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it...it really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everthing for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. "
Erica Jong

"Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic. "
Anais Nin, The Diary of Anais Nin, volume 4, 1944-1947

"We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always, in the end, a disappointment, because it does not fit them. "
Anais Nin (1903 - 1977)

the movie GREAT EXPECTATIONS is sad. (but the book sucks!)

[miss_d]

sa songs, my pick would be Fare Thee Well by the Indigo Girls. i think it's one of the most beautiful (but sad) songs ever written. the indigo girls are such talented songwriters.



Fare thee well my bright star
I watched your tailights blaze into nothingness
But you were long gone before I ever got to you
Before you blazed past this address

And now I think of having loved and having lost
But never know what it feel like to never love
Who can say what's better when my heart's become the cost
A mere token of a brighter jewel sent from above

Fare thee well my bright star
The vanity of youth the color of your eyes
And maybe if I'd fanned the blazing fire of your day - to - day
Or if I'd been older, I'd been wise

Too thick the heat of those long summer evenings
For a cool evening I began to yearn
But you could only feed upon the things which feed a fire
Waiting to see if I would burn

Fare thee well my bright star
It was a brief brilliant miracle dive
That which I looked up to and I clung to for dear life
Had to burn itself up just to make itself alive -- (my favorite line!)

And I caught you then in your moment of glory
Your last dramatic scene against a night sky stage
With a moment so clear that it's as if you're still before me
My once in a lifetime star of an age

Fare thee well my bright star
Last night the tongues of fire circled me round
And this strange season of pain will come to pass
When the healing hands of autumn cool me down

as for poems, the love song of j. alfred prufrock by t.s. eliot. mahaba, so i won't post it na here, pero it's such a sad poem. my fave line is

shall i part my hair behind? shall i dare to eat a peach?
i shall wear hite flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

i do not think that they will sing to me.

[freakster2k1]

i dont know yung title. pero song ng Bee Gees, regarding Xmas trees and broken friendships.. i cried the first time i heard it..

[terenavs]

this is part of a song by mary beth maziarz:

souvenirs

i could let you slip away
wait for a rainy day
find the perfect coffee house
and stay for hours
but wouldn't that be failing us -
letting go too soon?
when everything i am
still holds on to you
and these
souvenirs -- they keep me here
you're really somewhere down the road
i know

and i'm still stranded here
holding all these
souvenirs

[altec]

is this even supposed to be a sad poem? ...pero i like to think of this when i think of her- isang suntok sa buwan

Heaven overarches earth and sea,
Earth-sadness and sea-bitterness.
Heaven overarches you and me:
A little while and we shall be -
Please God -- where there is no more sea
Nor barren wilderness.

Heaven overarches you and me,
And all earth's gardens and her braves.
Look up with me, until we see
The day break and the shadows flee.
What though to-night wrecks you and me,
If so to-morrow saves?


----- christina rossetti



... parhaps i'll pick up a copy of the indigo girls' album if only to hear that fare thee well

[miss_d]

altec, by all means, go! it's a great song it's sad that the only indigo girls song that most people know is power of two, when they have so many other beatiful songs, fare thee well being one of the most notable, at least for me.

when you finally get to hear it, let us know what you think.

[anawim]

'by the river piedra i sat down and wept. there is a legend that everything that falls into the waters of this river.... is transformed into the rocks that make the riverbed. if only i could tear out my heart and hurl it into the current, then my pain and longing would be over, and i could finally forget...
... may my tears run just as far, that my love might never know that one day i cried for him... i shall forget the roads, the mountains, and the fields of my dreams --- the dreams that will never come true."

more:

"pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. perhaps this person wil never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. but when that person looks back --- and at some point everyone looks back --- she will hear her heart saying, "what have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed on you? you buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those talents. So this is your heritage: the certainty that you wasted your life."

all of these from Paulo Coelho's "By the River Piedra I sat down and wept"

[SleepyBalin]

a bend in the road.

well, i've just finished reading it...and there. though it didn't make my cry, the story was sad. made me feel sad after reading it. but i guess that's how it goes with every nicholas sparks books.

don't know if i've mentioned this before but how about...butterfly kisses? the lyrics are so sad.

"with all that i've done wrong, i must've done something right to deserve a hug and butterfly kisses at night."

it's such a father/daughter song. makes me think of my dad. *sigh*

[delphic_oracle]

Yeah, the Indigo Girls make killer lyrics!

Ghost, by the Indigo Girls (Emily Saliers)

There's a letter on the desktop
That I dug out of a drawer
The last truce we ever came to from our adolescant war

And I start to feel the fever
From the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons shadowing my dreams

The Mississippi's mighty
But it starts in Minnesota
At a place that you can walk across with five steps down

And I guess that's how you started
Like a pinprick to my heart
And at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown

And there's not enough room in this world for my pain
Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost
I'm in love with your ghost

Dark and dangerous like a secret (don't tell a soul)
That gets whispered in a hush (don't tell a soul)
When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush

When you kiss me like a lover
Then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river, play your memory like the piper

And I feel it like sickness: how this love is killing me
But I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
And dance the edge of sanity
I've never been this close
In love with your ghost

Ooo ooo ooo ooo...
Ooo ooo ooo...
Ooo ooo ooo ooo...
Ooo ooo ooo...

Unknowing captor
You'll never know how much you
Pierce my spirit
But I can't touch you

Can you hear it? A cry to be free
Oh I'm forever under lock and key
As you pass through me

Now I see your face before me
I would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips

As I burn up in your presence
And I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles with you always at my heels

And my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that I keep
It poisons me I can't swim free, the river is too deep
Though I'm baptised by your touch
I am no worse at most
In love with your ghost

[polyphony]
Amy: Emily:
In love with your ghost You are shadowing my dreams
In love with your ghost Ooo ooo ooo ooo...
In love with your ghost Ooo ooo ooo ooo...
Ooo ooo ooo...

And also "When She Loved Me" from the Toy Story 2 OST...

When She Loved Me

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart

And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy so was I
When she loved me

Through the summer and the fall
We had each other that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be

And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that
She loved me

So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say "I will always love you"

Lonely and forgotten
I never thought she'd look my way
She smiled at me and held me
Just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
When she loved me

Sarah Mclachlan's voice haunts me.

[PLAINDUDE_00]

I've composed this poetry about how manageable one's deep melancholy can be, how the real surface of lunatic emotions can be diverted/shifted to a delusional coping mechanism. The poem I've written last APRIL 18, 2003 said a lot about that degree of sorrow and longing.

Hey, you guys can check that poetry at my Journal Website:
collapsis.blogspot.com

Hope you get insights about it, and about the other journal poems i've created. Thanks, you guys. Let me know what you think about them/it alright?

Here are stanzas from the poem I was talking about-
(APRIL 18, 2003 from The Scouted journals):

Now I am here
Drowning
under the heat that stayed beside me
I feel it
touching my body
Unscrupulously
Never have I encountered such intense heat
that can burn my soul
my mind awakens
my body is about to tear

Now the Heat speaks to me
With bits of air like silent voices
whispers
I began to listen
to silence
To solitude
And it says,
“Now it is you and I
All alone in the midst of emptiness
I have stayed to awaken your senses
to shine your existence with my light
to feel your skin
your beauty
your Benevolence
your unimaginable darkness
your importance to this world.”

(continued in the blog website cited)

[hYpNoTiQue]

"The poem used in the movie is by Pablo Neruda. It is Sonnet 17 of Neruda's 100 Love Sonnets available in English translation by Stephen Tapscott. It is this translation that Patch reads in the movie."

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep."

"When everything feels like the movies, and you bleed just to know you're alive" - from iris

"And as the sun would set, you would rise
Fall from the sky into paradise
Is there no light in your heart for me
You've closed your eyes, you no longer see"

"There were no lies between me and you
You said nothing of what you knew
But there was still something in your eyes
Left me helpless and paralysed"

"You could give a million reasons change the world and change the tides, Could not give me the secrets of your heart and of your mind ,In the darkness that surrounds me now there is no peace of mind ,Your careless words undo me, leave the thought of us behind"


-from no ordinary morning by chicane
