100 Best Sad
Poems
If Love is a
Universal emotion, then the pain it often causes (some might
say inevitably causes) is equally Universal. Yet, that only
begs the more important question: Why do sad poems and stories
of emotional pain bring each of us a strange kind of
pleasure?
I'm sure the
psychologists have an answer to that question. And I'm just as
sure it's a different answer than a poet would
give.
Maybe, in the end, the
answer really isn't so complex. A burden born by one can often
grow too heavy to bear. Maybe, in the end, each of us knows
that sharing our pain is the only way we can live with the
pain. And that's really what each of these poignantly sad poems
are about - sharing.
Let the countdown
begin.
