2. Poems describing inner loneliness and sadness

The voice is very slow-Li Qingzhao

Looking for it,

Cold and clear,

Sad and sad.

When the temperature was warm and cold that day,

This is the most difficult to arouse interest.

Three glasses and two glasses of light wine,

Why did you object to him, coming late and rushing?

Wild goose crossing also,

Is sad,

We're old acquaintances.

Yellow flowers are piled all over the floor.

Haggard and hurt,

Who can pick it now?

Look at the window,

How can you be black alone?

The Indus River is drizzling,

At dusk, little by little.

This time,

What a sad sentence!

3. Lonely and heartbreaking poetry

A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it.

Flowers from Shui Piao to water, one kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure.

There are trees in the mountains and branches in the trees.

Crossing the crane shadow in the cold pond, Leng Yue buried the flower soul. Falling flowers are independent, and the rain and dew are bright!

The crowd searched for her for thousands of Baidu, and suddenly looking back, the man was already dimly lit.

I want to give my heart to Yao Qin, but I have few bosom friends and no one listens.

Dropping golden rain, breaking the jade pot ice. Listen, it's full of heartbreak.

The ripples of water droplets finally dissipated, and wood recorded the reincarnation of this life.

Platanus acerifolia drips and drips at dusk.

Dead vines and old trees faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, old roads and thin horses, sunset, heartbroken people at the end of the world.

The wind wrinkles a pool of spring water, and people are independent, Swift Qi Fei.

Then, at sunrise, he walked through the fog. Alas, it was a green landscape.

The shadows are shallow and the dusk is fragrant.

Once, the sea was difficult for water, and amber was forever. I'm too lazy to look back at the flowers. I'm half-dead.

If the pet is not surprised, just watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, unnoticed, and look at the clouds in the sky

Never look back, why not forget; Since there is no chance, why take the oath? Today, everything is like water without a trace; Tomorrow, you will be a stranger.

4. A lonely and sad poem

1, "red lips, boudoir thinking"

[Song] Li Qingzhao

Lonely boudoir, one inch sad and tender. Xichun. When will it rain?

Leaning over, just not in the mood. Where are people? Even it's getting dark, and the way home is broken.

translate

In late spring, the boundless loneliness in the boudoir comes like a flood, but this inch of tenderness has to accommodate countless sorrows. The more we cherish spring, the easier it will pass away. The sound of falling rain urges us to turn red and return home.

In this lonely late spring, every inch of acacia has withered, even if the spring is beautiful, it is also ruthless. Whispered: "My love, where are you?" There is only an endless decadent grassland in front of us, paved with a path that lovers must take.

2. "Good things are close, and the wind will be deep."

[Song] Li Qingzhao

The wind will set the flowers deep, and there will be red snow outside the curtain. I remember that after the flowering of begonia, it was the spring season.

The wine column sings jade and honors the sky, and the blue cylinder is dark and bright. The soul dream is unbearable, miserable, and even more screaming.

translate

The wind stopped and the flowers in the yard withered. Look beyond the bead curtain, there are piles of snow petals and layers of red cores. It must be remembered that after begonia blooms, it is the season of hurting spring.

The singing stopped, the jade cup was empty and the wine was exhausted. Only when the blue light flashes, the fluorescent light of the beans gradually goes out. The sadness in the dream is hard to digest, and there are thrushes in spring.

3. "Slow voice search"

[Song] Li Qingzhao

Looking around, lonely and sad. It's the hardest to stop breathing when it's warm and cold. Three glasses and two glasses of wine, how can you beat him? It's late in the wind. Guo Yan is very sad, but this is an old acquaintance.

Yellow flowers are piled all over the floor. Who can pick it now? Looking out the window, how can a person be dark? Indus is raining in Mao Mao, dripping at dusk. This time, what a sad sentence!

translate

I searched hard, but I didn't see anything. How can it not make people sad? It is the most difficult to maintain and rest when it is warm and cold. How to resist the cold wind in the morning after drinking three or two glasses of light wine? A line of geese flew in front of us, which was even more sad, because they were old acquaintances.

The chrysanthemums in the garden are piled all over the floor, and they are already very haggard. Who else will pick them now? How can you stay up until dark alone and watch the window coldly? The plane tree leaves are dripping, and it is still dripping at dusk. How can such a scene end with a "sad" word!

4. "A piece of plum, red lotus root fragrance, residual jade in autumn"

[Song] Li Qingzhao

Lotus root is fragrant, and jade is lingering in autumn. Gently untie Luo Shang and go to Lan alone. Who sent the brocade book, the word geese returned, and the moon was full of the West Building.

Flowers bloom and fall, and flowing water gurgles. One kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure. There is no way to eliminate this situation, only frown and mind.

translate

The lotus flower is exhausted, the fragrance has disappeared, and the bamboo mat is as cold as jade, showing a strong autumn. Gently take off the silk skirt and lie on the bed alone. Looking up at the distant sky, where white clouds are rolling, who will send the brocade book? It's time for the geese to line up and return to the south line by line. The moonlight is bright and soaking, and the lonely pavilion in the west is full.

Flowers, wandering by themselves, water, wandering by themselves, a kind of parting acacia, affecting two leisure worries. Ah, it can't be ruled out that this lovesickness, this sadness, has just disappeared from the frowning brow and is faintly entangled in my heart.

5. Youzhou Tower

[Tang] Chen Ziang

No one can see the ancient wisdom of the ancient king, only those wise men who can't see the afterlife can see it.

I think of heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end, I am alone, tears fell down!

translate

We can't see the ancient holy king who accepted talents, nor can we see the wise king who was thirsty for talents in later generations.

Only the world is boundless, and I can't stop crying with sadness.

8. Poems about loneliness and sadness

"You don't understand me, I don't blame you" Author: Mo Yan

Everyone has a dead end. If you can't get out by yourself, no one else can get in. I put my deepest secret there. You don't know me. I don't blame you. Everyone has a wound, deep or shallow, covered with a cloth and thought it didn't exist. I drew the reddest blood there. You don't know me. I don't blame you. Everyone has a love, sincere, affectionate, hard-working, moving and sentimental. I hid my hottest feeling there. You don't know me. I don't blame you. Everyone has a line of tears, cold water to drink and tears to brew. I send my saddest complaints there. You don't know me. I don't blame you. Everyone has confession, anxiety, but full of sincerity and courage. I used the most lyrical language there. You don't know me. I don't blame you. You will never see me when I love you the most, because I love you the most only when I can't see you. Similarly, you will never see my loneliest time, because I am the loneliest only when you can't see me. Perhaps, I am too good at hiding my sadness. Perhaps, I am too good at comforting my wounds. Maybe, in your eyes, I take care of myself too much, so you never consider my feelings It is selfish of you to think that I can recover soon. From rainy days to sunny days, I passed through mud and wind. Along the way, you never understood me, and I never blamed you.
