The Best 9 Homicide Or Violence Poems

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long-since-cancell'd woe, And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight. Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoanéd moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before: --But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored, and sorrows end.

Fare thee well! and if for ever, Still for ever, fare thee well: Even though unforgiving, never ‘Gainst thee shall my heart rebel. Would that breast were bared before thee Where thy head so oft hath lain. While that placid sleep came o’er thee Which thou ne’er canst know again; Would that breast, by thee glanced over, Every inmost thought could show! Then thou wouldst at last discover ‘Twas not well to spurn it so. Though the world for this commend thee– Though it smile upon the blow, Even its praises must offend thee, Founded on another’s woe: Though my many faults defaced me, Could no other arm be found, Than the one which once embraced me, To inflict a cureless wound? Yet, oh yet, thyself deceive not; Love may sink by slow decay, But by sudden wrench, believe not Hearts can thus be torn away: Still thine own its life retaineth, Still must mine, though bleeding, beat; And the undying thought which paineth Is – that we no more may meet. These are words of deeper sorrow Than the wail above the dead; Both shall live, but every morrow Wake us from a widow’d bed. And when thou wouldst solace gather, When our child’s first accents flow, Wilt thou teach her to say ‘Father!’ Though his care she must forego? When her little hands shall press thee, When her lip to thine is press’d Think of him whose prayer shall bless thee, Think of him thy love had bless’d! Should her lineaments resemble Those thou never more may’st see, Then thy heart will softly tremble With a pulse yet true to me. All my faults perchance thou knowest, All my madness none can know; All my hopes where’er thou goest, Wither, yet with thee they go. Every feeling hath been shaken; Pride, which not a world could bow, Bows to thee–by thee forsaken, Even my soul forsakes me now: But ’tis done–all words are idle­ Words from me are vainer still; But the thoughts we cannot bridle Force their way without the will. Fare thee well! thus disunited, Torn from every nearer tie Sear ‘d in heart, and lone, and blighted, More than this I scarce can die.

Time does not bring relief; you all have lied Who told me time would ease me of my pain! I miss him in the weeping of the rain; I want him at the shrinking of the tide; The old snows melt from every mountain-side, And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane; But last year's bitter loving must remain Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide. There are a hundred places where I fear To go - so with his memory they brim. And entering with relief some quiet place Where never fell his foot or shone his face I say, 'There is no memory of him here!' And so stand stricken, so remembering him.

When we lose a loved one Our world just falls apart We think that we can't carry on With this broken heart Everything is different now You're upset and you're annoyed Your world, it seems, is shattered There's such an awful void There's got to be a reason And we have to understand God made us and at any time He'll reach down for our hand There might not be a warning We won't know where or when The only thing we're certain of Is we'll meet them once again.

In the darkness of the night, our hearts were shattered, A loved one lost to violence, our dreams left tattered, Gone too soon, we miss your embrace, The love that once shone, in the depths of your face. With every tear that falls, every aching sigh, We'll remember your love, reaching for the sky, In the quiet moments, your memory we'll trace, Wishing to hold you, in a tender, safe space. Shattered hearts, a love we'll forever miss, In the depths of our sorrow, a longing abyss, Though you're gone, your love we'll carry, In our thoughts, dear one, forever you'll tarry.

In the midst of our grief, we'll find a smile, Remembering the times, that made life worthwhile, For the loved one we've lost, the laughter we shared, In the moments of joy, when you truly cared. We'll tell the tales, the jokes you'd create, The memories of laughter, we'll lovingly relate, Through the tears and the sorrow, we'll find a way, To cherish the humor, that once brightened our day. Laughter through tears, a memory so dear, A tribute to the one, we once held near, In the midst of our grief, let laughter ring, For the joy you brought, forever will cling.

Let us gather in the sunlight, and celebrate, The life of the loved one, whose love was innate, Through the pain and the sorrow, their love we'll see, A testament of strength, a love that'll forever be. We'll share the stories, the laughter and tears, The memories we made, throughout the years, A life well-lived, a love so strong, In our hearts, dear one, you'll always belong. In the dawn's embrace, and the twilight's caress, We'll celebrate your life, your fearlessness, A love unyielding, a memory that stays, In our hearts, dear one, you'll forever blaze.

Through the storm of loss, your love remained, A beacon of hope, through the unexplained, Though you're gone, your love we'll hold, A cherished memory, a story retold. For every moment, every laugh and tear, We'll be grateful for the love, we once held near, In the silence of our hearts, your love will grow, A testament of strength, in the sorrow we know. Thank you, dear one, for the love you gave, For the lessons you taught, for the path you paved, A love unbroken, your memory we'll keep, In our hearts, your love, forever will seep.

In the wake of your loss, we'll hold you near, Remembering the love, the life you held dear, A great person you were, despite the strife, In our hearts, your memory, will forever come to life. With courage and kindness, you faced every day, A testament of love, that'll never fade away, In the depths of our sorrow, we'll hold you tight, A light undimmed, in the darkest night. A great person they were, in our hearts they'll reside, In the memories we hold, your love will forever guide, Though you've left us behind, your light will persist, A light undimmed, in the hearts that you've kissed.
