Popular Sad Love Poems – The 107 Best Sad Poems About Love

Love can be the most amazing thing in the world, but just like most things in life, the other side of love can be the one that will engulf people to the bottom of despair. It will make you cry and temporarily fill your heart with hatred and thousands of sadness, especially when your heart is broken. Despite that, however, love is still a beautiful thing. You just have to allow yourself to heal and get back on your feet before you can see that again. As for the scars, it’s okay, they serve to remind us that life tried to take us down but it did not succeed, we still rose up, scarred but stronger and wiser.

Once you’ve been hurt, it will leave emotional wounds that make you so scared to get attached again. You have this fear that every person you start to fall for is just going to break your heart again. However, remember that you cannot overcome what you do not confront. Sometimes the best way to overcome hurt from love is to cry it all out: stay in the moment, feel the pain, cry a river, then build a bridge to get over it and fall in love again. Yes, the key is to allow your broken heart to feel pain as it’s mending before falling in love again, hiding your true feelings or pretending to be strong only make things worse.

Here are 107 best sad love poems that can help you in the process of healing – the most popular poems about sad love that can soothe your soul. We must remember, “Better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all.” If we have this attitude we can hold ourselves together during the hard times and rejoice that we have this awesome gift during the good times.

1, Seek Not My Heart © Kit McCallum

Oh gentle winds ‘neath moonlit skies,
Do not you hear my heartfelt cries?

Below the branches, here about,
Do not you sense my fear and doubt?
Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams,
Do not you hear my woeful screams?

Upon the meadows, touched with dew,
Do not you see my hearts a’skew?
Beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
Do not you feel my jagged scars?

Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze,
For you’ll not find it ‘mongst these trees.

It’s scattered ‘cross the moonlit skies,
Accompanied by heartfelt sighs.
It’s drifting o’re the gentle rain,
A symbol of my silent pain.

It’s buried ‘neath the meadow fair,
Conjoined with all the sorrow there.
It’s lost among the stars this night,
Too far to ease my quiet fright.

No gentle winds, seek not my heart,
For simply … it has torn apart.

2, Nobody Knows © Azumi Zaima

Nobody knows it’s empty,
The smile that I wear.
The real one is left behind in the past
Because I left you there…

Nobody knows I am crying.
They won’t even see my tears.
When they think I am laughing,
I wish you were here…

Nobody knows it’s painful.
They think that I am strong.
They say it won’t kill me,
But I wonder if they are wrong…

Nobody knows I miss you.
They think I am all set free,
But I feel like I am bound with chains,
Trapped in the mystery…

Nobody knows I need you.
They think I can do it on my own,
But they don’t know I am crying
When I am all alone…

3, Slow Tears © Martini

I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days
and wonder if I’ll feel that way again
you look at me
with those eyes I know so well
always serious, so deep and insightful
as though you’re always in control
But not today
not now
Now you look so scared
like for once you don’t have the answer
I gaze at you
looking deep into those hazel eyes
Hoping to understand
why you’ve said those things you did
I wonder for a moment
if this is all a dream
if I shall wake in the morning
and be relieved
you look at me
with a confusion I have never seen
slowly pull me towards you
and wipe the tears from my cheek.

4, My Everything © Dean Coombes

You’re my love, my life,
The air that I breathe.
You’re my soul, my happiness,
The all that I need.

You’re my light, my dark,
The stars in the sky.
You’re my ups, my downs,
The reason I try.

You’re my strength, my weakness,
The love from the start.
You’re my heartache, my pain,
The beat of my heart

You’re my tears, my joy,
The love that you bring.
You’re my world, my galaxy,
You’re my everything.

5, Broken Heart © Crystal Holtz

I will never forget the days we once had
The days when you were everything to me
My mind used to tell me we’d be together forever
But now I realize that was all a big dream
The feelings I have for you will never go
I wish I could take back that one regretful day
The day when I willingly let you slide from my arms
Never did I think of the astonishing pain of regrets
That I would once have to live through
The sight of you in someone else’s arms
Makes my heart shatter into a million pieces
I sometimes wonder if you still think of me
Or if to you, I’m just a face in the crowd
I wish so very much that one day we can have it all back
But for now, I’ll sit here silently
Remembering all the memories we once shared
Everyday my love grows much stronger
Hoping that one day you will feel the same
And put back the pieces of my broken heart.

6, What’s Next? © Amanda

I lie awake tonight,
Wishing of things I can change.
I try to convince myself,
But it’s all so strange.

Is it me,
Or is it you?
Do I try,
Or are we through?

So long we’ve shared
Just to walk away.
But so much hurt
To want to stay.

Why do we do this,
Try to hurt the other more,
Only to watch one
Walk right out the door?

I love you so much,
Yet I push you to the point of breaking,
But why do you play with my heart
And never stop taking?

Is this the end
Or a new beginning?
Only one can guide me
When my head is spinning.

Don’t push,
Don’t try,
Don’t stress,
Don’t cry.

That is what plays
Over in my head
As I try to close my eyes
And just go to bed.

7, Tonight I Can Write (The Saddest Lines) © Pablo Neruda

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example, “The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.”

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.

I no longer love her, that’s certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another’s. She will be another’s. Like my kisses before.
Her voide. Her bright body. Her inifinite eyes.

I no longer love her, that’s certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my sould is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.

8, The Luckiest Guy © Goran Rahim

Dear the luckiest guy in the world, I don’t know you,
All I know is you are the luckiest guy
Because the girl who I loved, is your lover.
That was my destiny, but don’t know why

Respect her, please respect her
That is all I want from you.
As not every person can get her love.
Everyone is not lucky like you.

I lost myself in her world,
Even though I loved her a lot.
But what could I do?
My words were weaker than I thought.

I am still wondering
Nowadays how is this life to you?
Every second is brighter
As a princess said she loves you

Do you ever feel sad?
I don’t think so still I am asking.
There is no reason to be sad
After you got that much loving.

I don’t know if you deserve her
Because she is the best.
But please make her happy,
So my heart could get some rest.

You are the luckiest guy
As her lips said she loves you
And here a hopeless guy is still waiting
To hear a word; Even if she says “I hate you”

9, The Siren © YoungPoet

He wrote her a song, but it never got finished
They both fell in love, but it was soon diminished
She sits on his bed and cries in his lap
He cries back at her, knowing they can’t go back.

Hours go by and neither one can accept
That by letting go they are doing what’s best
At the end of the day, comes the part which he fears
To let her go without shedding a tear

Never again will he kiss her goodbye
And just that thought makes him start to cry
Now he’ll finish that song, and he’ll write it today
This is the start and here’s what it says

“You are my siren, you drew me in
With a voice like an angel and the softest skin
Your eyes shine like diamonds and your smile melts my heart
I know that nothing could tear us apart”

That’s what he wrote and let me just say
That he’d never do anything to throw that away
But that’s not how it works; this world’s bitter and harsh
And then something happened, which drew them apart

An old boyfriend showed up and that’s when he knew
That her feelings for him were not shiny and new
This person left her and crushed her heart
But she had loved him since the very start.

When our boy came along she saw a way
To end her pain and make it all go away
But by loving this person through thick and through thin
She looked at our boy and wished it was him

Now this is where the second verse starts
It’s about how she seemed to break his heart
He found out her feelings, it went straight to his head
So he carried on writing and here’s what he said

“You make me smile when no one else can
It just makes me happy to be your man
But it hurts me deeply that you long for his heart
I thought we would last, but this breaks us apart”

He sat in his room and just wished he
Could be just like her ex so that they could be
But as long as he was there they could never be true
So he’d sit in his room feeling sad and blue

Now comes the part where she’s crying in his lap
They both just decided to never go back
The pain is immense but it’s saving his heart
Because staying with her would rip him apart

Here’s where he decides to finish the song
The story of how it all went wrong
He starts the last verse with tears dripping off his nose
The papers all wet but here’s how it goes.

“You were my siren, you drew me in
You taught me to love and you taught me to sin
I never thought you could break my heart
But I guess we were wrong right from the start”

“You were my siren, now I’m dead at sea
You drew me in, but you didn’t want me
I just wish I knew where it all went wrong
But now another lost sailor can hear your song”

10, Terra Incognizant © Prometheus

You would think by now, I would know my way around,
I shouldn’t miss you so badly, I should be on familiar ground.
How many more lonely years, must meander by,
until I learn the lesson, it does no good to cry.
What manner of iron will, must some people possess,
to be always looking forward, to never accept regress.
Perhaps if I was willing, to let someone take me by the hand,
they could show me a happy place, in this unfamiliar land.
Perhaps I’m only homesick, for all the joys that once were mine,
I must accept that they and you, belong to another place and time.
But I know that deep within my heart, there’s a place where only you reside,
and when the pain of loneliness comes, it knows that is where I hide.
So if sometimes it seems to you, I’m clinging to the past,
it’s mostly because I can’t yet accept, that our love didn’t last.
No matter how hard I try, I’ve yet to get over you,
for the part of me that’s still alive, believes you love me too.
Maybe there will come a day, when that part will finally die,
and feeling strong with a heart reborn, a new love I will finally try.
And what a splendid day that will be, when I awaken to discover,
I’m happily learning a great new land, with a great new friend and lover.

11, We Lost Each Other © Sierra

I could ask you to stay,
But there’s really nothing left to say.

This breakup has been emotional and long,
But I know I’m strong.

I guess we naturally grew apart,
But it still hurts in my heart.

We went days without speaking or sending a text,
And I could only wonder what was next.

There were times we couldn’t look each other in the eye.
How did we get this far, and why did something so special have to die?

As I write this, memories flood me.
They remind of all we used to be.

Even when things were bad, I never thought this relationship would end.
Our broken hearts I thought we could mend.

Now you’ve left without a goodbye.
I’ve got no energy to even cry.

I knew it was over when we started doing things on our own.
You got so distant and I was alone.

I tried getting you to notice that I was still there,
But you made up your mind and didn’t care.

There are many nights when you’re all that’s on my mind.
I hope happiness is what you find.

There are days when I just can’t get out of bed.
But “try” is what you always said.

So every day I try to put on a smile.
Even if it’s not a real one for a while.

We were together for so many years, so do you ever shed tears?
I know I’ve got to let you go,

And someday I will,
But mixed emotions are what I feel.

We both made our fair share of mistakes.
It feels like I’m drowning in sadness, anger, and resentment, all in different lakes.

I honestly wish you nothing but the best
As my strength and endurance is put to the test.

12, Do You Know © Michelle Boyd

Do you know a life of loneliness and one filled with pain,
living a life with nothing to gain,
Surrounded by darkness, overwhelmed with shame.
A life without peace with no one to blame.

Do you know of a place unseen,
A place that holds only shattered dreams,
A place filled with sorrow with no end in sight,
I am given this gift each and every night.

Do you know of a place so cold,
This is the place I call my soul,
A place without hope or comforting dreams,
A life not worth living wouldn’t it seem.

Do you know of a life that should have never been,
And the feeling that today this life has to end.
One more day of sadness is much too hard to bear,
I am tired of living a life of heartache and despair.

Do you know a person with so much pain inside,
Or the feeling of loneliness when no one hears your cries,
Maybe when the tears are gone and I can clearly see,
The only question left will be…

DO YOU KNOW ME

13, At Night © Miss P.

At night…
At night I lay and think of you hoping my wishes and dreams come true
At night I wonder can this be the end is this all that’s left
At night I wish we could go to the way things were
At night I lay and cry about the things that happened and how it all ended
At night I lay and think of us, I mean you and I
At night I realize there’s no more us
At night I dream of us together again
At night I wish for us to be together again
But in the morning I realize it was all
At night!

Someday you will cry for me
Like i cried for you.
Someday you’ll miss me
Like i missed you.
Someday you’ll need me
Like i needed you.
Someday you’ll love me,
But i won’t love you.

Someday © Sarah

14, He’ll Never Know © Jennifer

I want to run, I want to hide
From all the pain he caused inside.
I want to scream, I want to cry.
Why can’t I tell him goodbye?

I want to move on; I just can’t let go.
I love him more than he will ever know.
I want to start over, I want to feel free!
But this pain will never leave me be.

He hurt me bad; the pain is deep
From all the promises he couldn’t keep.
All the lies I heard him say
Are in my head and just won’t fade.

How can I forget him, leave him behind?
Erase the memories from my mind?
He doesn’t love me, and he never will.
He will never care how I feel.

15, I’m Sorry © Duke Nguyen

I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through
It must’ve been very hard on you
I’m sorry for all that’s been said and done
I was the moon, you were the sun
I’m sorry for not making everything right
But the situation I was in, was very tight
I’m sorry for not lending you a hand
If only I could be a better friend
I’m sorry if it seemed like I didn’t care
Lucky for you, your special- someone was there
I’m sorry for breaking your heart
For forgiveness, where do I start?

16, A Broken Heart © Jenna

How do I mend a broken heart?
My entire world has fallen apart.
How do I find hope in a brand new day,
when the one I love has gone away?
My mind overflows with memories of you,
of all that we’ve shared, all that we knew.
I long for your touch and your warm embrace,
the look in your eyes, the smile on your face.
My dreams are filled with your soft gentle kiss.
I wake and cry for all that I miss.
How do I mend a broken heart,
when my one true love and I are apart?
My heart knows to love only you, it won’t let go, what do I do?
Our moments together were precious and few,
but I cherished them all more than you knew.
I love you, my angel, and always will.
I loved you then and I love you still.

17, I Was Reminded © Alicia S.

As we lay there quiet
I was reminded of all the reasons why I lust you
Your smile,
and the way it teased at me seductively
Your laugh,
and the way it tempted me
Your eyes,
and the way they seem to hypnotize me

As we sat there silent
I was reminded of all the reasons why I love you
Your smile,
and the way it brings such life into me
Your laugh,
and the way it makes everything okay
Your eyes,
and the way they seem to read my thoughts

As we stand here now
I am reminded of all the reasons why I hate you
Your smile,
and the way it confuses me
Your laugh,
and the way it seems to mock me
Your eyes,
and the way they can look into mine and not feel a thing

18, Have You? © Hachem

Have You ever loved someone
But knew they didn’t care?
Have You ever felt like crying
But Knew you’d get no where?

Have you ever looked into their eyes
And said a little prayer?
Have you ever looked into their hearts
And wished that you were there?

Have you ever felt their heartbeat,
When the lights were turned down low?
Have you ever whispered “God, I love You”
But you’ll never let me show?

Love is grand, yet it hurts so much.
The price you pay is high.
If I could choose between Love and Death,
I’d rather choose to die.

So do not fall in love, my friend,
It doesn’t pay a dime.
It only causes broken hearts,
Yet it happens all the time.

So do not fall in love, my friend,
You’ll hurt before it’s through.
I ought to know, my friend—
I fell in love with you.

19, I Tried So Hard © Whitney Barton

I tried so hard.
I tried my best.
I gave you my all,
And now there’s nothing left.

You stole my heart
Then tore it in two.
Now I’m falling apart
And don’t know what to do.

Divided by decisions,
Burned by the fire,
Confused by your words,
Tempted by desire.

I’m living in the present.
My mind is on the past.
Not knowing what I’ll lose,
Not knowing what will last.

Blinded by fear,
Drowning in doubt,
Struggling to be free,
Looking for a way out.

20, How It Used To Be © Melanie Edwards

I remember how it used to be
when nothing else matter but you and me.
Music, country roads, and future dreams.

I miss you, I wish you could see.
Although you are here, I miss you and me.

I remember when you said how happy I made you,
and you really meant it… now, it’s just a phrase
you say without thinking.

I miss those days when you’d call just to say, “Hi,”
or, “I love you.” Those days it was so hard
just to say good-bye for a while.

I remember how wonderful it felt the first time
you held me in your arms, and how after all those
years you still made my heart melt.

I miss the old you and the old me,
The old us that could just sit and talk for hours
and never run out of things to say.

I remember when time simply stood still,
when in each other’s arms was the only place
we wanted to be… forever.

I miss us as I remember how it used to be…
when nothing else mattered but you and me.

21, A Lesson © Monica-Angel Gellar

I’ve learned a lot of lessons
In the short time I have lived
I’ve learned how to appreciate
And I’ve learned how to give.

But in these past few months
There’s two I’ll remember most
I’ve learned how to love
And I’ve learned to let go.

You entered my life with such a force
And left it with one as strong
And though we tried to make it last
We both knew it wouldn’t be long.

I lie at night and think about
How I’m the one to blame.
If only I would have trusted you,
I could have missed this pain.

And so I spent each day of my life
With my heart in pieces
And when I thought it could never be cured,
Something happened; I expected it least.

I guess my soul was all cried out,
And it was tired of being used.
And even though I know I’m guilty,
I was tired of being accused.

And so I’ve learned to end this
Without an urge to cry
These are my final words to you,
“I love you and goodbye.”

22, Let’s Make A Deal © Diane Blue

You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I’ll forgive you for not liking me enough.

You forgive me for missing you so,
And I’ll forgive you for being so cold.

You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I’ll forgive you for not hearing it.

You forgive me for playing your games,
And I’ll forgive you for toying with my emotions.

You forgive me for finding you so attractive,
And I’ll forgive you for not noticing.

You forgive me for raising you up so high,
And I’ll forgive you for bringing me down so low.

You forgive me for wanting to be with you,
And I’ll forgive you for avoiding me.

You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I’ll forgive you for taking advantage of it.

You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I’ll forgive you for never having latched on.

You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I’ll forgive you for crushing them.

Forgiveness brings inner peace.
Do we have a deal?

23, I Cry © Susan Christensen

I’m sitting on the porch,
Wind blowing through my hair.
The ducks are frolicking in the pond,
But I just can’t seem to care.

Life goes on around me.
I don’t participate.
I go through all the motions,
But what I really do is wait.

I dream about the day
That you’ll come home to me.
Nothing else is important.
Why can’t people see?

I don’t want to go out.
I don’t want to have fun.
I don’t want to do a thing
Until all is said and done.

They took you in the summer.
Now fall is almost finished.
Winter will be here very soon,
And then the year will have diminished.

You have no idea how much I cry.
I never let you know.
It’s so hard out here without you,
But I’m not allowed to let it show.

I must pretend all is fine.
Everyone thinks all’s okay,
But what I never ever tell them
Is that I cry for you every day.

24, I’m Too Big To Cry © J. J.

I never stopped to realize
How lonely I would be
I never thought the day would come
When you’d grow tired of me

Your voice was never sweeter
Than the day you said goodbye
You’ll never know how much it hurt
Because I’m too big to cry

If I knew then what I know now
You’d still be kissing me
Instead there’s someone else’s lips
Where mine used to be

I say hello and wish you well
Each time I pass you by
But you’ll never know how much it hurt
Because I’m too big to cry

You never looked so wonderful
As the day you walked away
I used to say, “I love you”
But that I could not say

I can’t forget you darlin’
No matter how much I try
You’ll never know how much it hurt
Because I’m too big to cry

25, Tears Of A Broken Heart © Bianca Santamaria

I have given all my love to you, but what do I get in return?
A broken heart.
I have given you my heart, and you stomp on it like a doormat.
I have given you my youth and you took advantage of my un-experienced heart and played with my emotions.
I gave you all the trust, but you misused it.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and you proved everyone right.
I gave you my life and you killed me day by day.
I want to pull my aching heart and tear it piece by piece so I no longer love you.
I want to lose my memory so I no longer think of you.
I want to go so far so I no longer have to see you.
I want to cry, but I no longer have any more tears to fall down
my sad, lonely face.
I want to sleep, but my dreams haunt me with you in them.
I can’t seem to find a way out. What do I do?
I don’t want anyone to see this, not even you.
How do I get out of this?
How do I stop this misery? How do solve this mystery?
I can’t seem to find anyone to make me feel the way you do,
The way you look at me,
The way you say my name,
The sound of your voice when you tell me that you care.
I love you so much I think I’m going to die from this pain that haunts day and night.
How can I forget you? If the only love I know is you.
How can I move on? If life is not the same without you.
I want to break free and move on, but I think I’ll be doing something wrong.
I just have to close my eyes and let things fly and let the days pass me by.

26, What Do They Know © Tima Chavis

I face the world with a smile, no one knows what is hid inside.
They see only happiness, they cant see the tears I’ve cried.
When I am alone I hurt, because here I do it well.
In front of all the watchful eyes my heaven turns to hell.
The judge and jury awaits me, everyone has a say.
In a life that hangs suspended for yet another day.
Who are they to judge if what I have done is right or wrong?
In the end I gave him up, but inside still sing his song.
I don’t know how to find the strength I thought I had.
If only I could play tough it wouldn’t be so bad.
They say that life goes on and someday I’ll smile again.
But, how do they know my pain without being where I’ve been?
I’ve traveled so far from home, and can’t find my way back.
Somewhere along the way I must have jumped the track.
I saw him just today and his smile is still the same.
He looked at me so sweetly, but never spoke my name.
I wonder if he remembers me, It hasn’t been that long.
He may have forgotten me, but I still sing his song.

27, She Walks © Jeffrey Carter

She walks along this lonely street
no one to dry her tears
massage her tired feet
or calm ever present fears

Seeing life through tainted heart
making everything gray
Alone, her life, anew to start
Always searching for a way

But life goes on no matter what
That fact she cannot quell
Memories ne’er to be forgot
Within her heart they dwell

So she keeps walking this lonely street
Keeps searching to find her way
Every night she lies down to sleep
And prays tomorrow’s a better day

28, Pain Of A Broken Heart © Erika

Tears of blood fall from my broken heart.
I never thought we would be apart.

When you held me, you said “forever.”
Now that you’re gone, I know you meant “never.”

Saying you love me with that look in your eye,
And that was a cold-hearted lie.

Your tender touch, a soft kiss,
Two things about you I will miss.

As I sit here thinking about you,
My face is wet with tears past due.

I should’ve cried a long time ago,
But I loved you so.

I know they say love is blind,
But I had only you on my mind.

A hurt so deep it cuts like a knife,
But wounds heal and I’ll go on with my life.

29, You’ll Find Someone Else © Karl Wild

The word forever is often spoken,
In relationships young and old,
Innocent hearts are usually broken,
With words that never seem to hold.

Most know what I’m talking about,
Some have yet to feel the pain,
The mind tells you without a doubt,
Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

So you listen and take a chance,
Forget all about flirting with disaster,
Because love has you in a trance,
And your heart is beating faster.

To hear somebody say “I love you”,
Could be the greatest feeling ever known,
But if those words turnout untrue,
Soon enough you’ll be all alone.

Still it never crosses our mind,
When it’s all said and done we’ll see,
That it’s harder then it looks to find,
The edge of eternity.

30, Why Do I Miss You? © Ashton Whitaker

Why do I miss you?
Everything seemed too good to be true
I thought you would always be mine
it seemed everything was just fine
What is it that I miss?
I miss every hug and every kiss
Why do I miss you?
I can’t forget how it felt to be with you
I can’t forget all the times we had
the good times and the bad
I trusted you with my heart
and now you’ve torn it apart
All the nights up late on the phone
is now time I spend alone
Wishing you were here with me
gives me nothing but misery
So, why do i miss you?
simply because I can’t forget you!

31, Living Again © Tina Manning Harding

Running, running
far away.
Escaping dreams
of yesterday.
Faster, faster
there I go.
Forgetting things
you’ll never know.
Dying, dying
deep inside.
Find a place
for me to hide.
Catching, catching
up with me.
No more running
from reality.
Stopping, stopping
let me cry.
Finding a way
to say goodbye.

32, My Love Left On A Saturday © Michael Perez

My belt loosens slowly.
Reminders of you stay fresh
in murky ponds of suffocating tadpoles.
Wake me in the morning,
when the sun shines again.
It’s frightening when all I know
falls apart.
And all I know is you.
Hunger squeezes me tighter.
My soul sags with exhaustion.
Ashtrays fill with sleepless nights.
Weeping intensifies my anxiety.
Can tomorrow come without you…
here today?
The cheap chandelier falls on my face.
The rose filled lamp explodes in my hands.
Pain is unrecognizable.
All I knew was you.
You.
My love.

33, Love © Anna Gillis

You said the words I love you,
But it is obvious things have changed.
I said the words I love you,
And my feelings are still the same.
You said I’ll love you forever,
But forever wasn’t long enough.
I said I’ll love you always,
And I’ll mean it forever.
But I can not imply to you
What that means,
‘Cause your version of Forever
Isn’t what it seems,
And my version of Always
Seems like an unrealistic dream.

34, Cheating And Lies © Meagen Deitz

Would you care if we quit talking?
Would you care if I went walking?
I need to know how you feel
So I know how to deal.
I like it when you’re by my side.
I hate it when you try to hide
All the cheating and the lies
Bring me one step closer to saying goodbye.
I know the cheating is a fact
because I’ve caught you in the act.
I wish I had more trust in you,
but it’s kinda hard when I busted you.
Seems to me you wouldn’t care
even if I weren’t there.
I always wonder who you’re with,
hoping it’s not another chick.
I’m not saying I don’t believe you.
Too many people have told me to leave you,
but you are everything to me,
which is why I want you me to always be.
Believing you may be a mistake,
but it’s a risk I’m willing to take.
I really love you; always know I do,
and remember there will always be a me and you.

35, My Fairytale’s Illusion © TinyDancer

A heart he stole away from me
Right from my bleeding chest
And through the wounds, I gave him love
For he deserved the best

A treasure I held in my hands
That promised he would stay
My prince I had now, finally
He’d never go away…

But through the stormy weather
With the lies I failed to see
My prince had found a princess
And he loved her more than me…

Yet I couldn’t see the damage
Through the dark storm, I was blind
Conceived by what I dreamed for,
Love was perfect in my mind…

Till one day, lightening struck me
My prince left without a trace
My broken heart screamed out his name
While tears poured down my face

Now I’m crying on this wooden floor
Wishing then I knew
That fairy-tales are make-believe
And dreams do not come true

36, I Learn To Be Strong © Felicia

Words of wisdom
come to my ears,
Telling me what I know in my heart,
But never wanted to hear.

With the truth finally said
and out in the open for me to plainly see,
I wonder why I can love so deeply
but never had that love returned back to me.

I confessed the feelings
that I held inside for so long,
But with his soft- hearted rejection,
I realize I have to be strong.

With tears that want to flow
from my eyes,
I feel that my heart,
along with my composure, slowly dies.

While this dramatic side is showing through
with my ability to question and reason,
I think I may have found
something in me that I can believe in.

Love hurts . . .
That’s what they all say,
But I will love again
when all this pain and sorrow goes away.

So I sit and think of all the things
this situation has cost,
And I realize that nothing
very important has been lost.

Instead, a learning experience
has come from all this.
I’ve learned that hardly anything
is more important than my happiness.

37, All Good Things Come To An End © Greg Thung

All good things come to an end,
Even the gifts that God sends,

Like her, the angel He sent from above
who was the one person I truly loved.

She changed everything and made my life worthwhile.
She was the only one who could make me smile.

She really doesn’t understand how much she means.
I’ll never be as happy as I’ve been.

She was my heart and my soul,
She filled me with joy and made me whole.

She was my world, my greatest treasure.
I loved her so much that it couldn’t be measured.

I remember every kiss and touch.
All our memories I miss so much.

I wish we could go back in time,
When I was hers and she was mine.

I’d always protect her and let nothing harm her.
How ironic it was though that she was my armor.

She always made me feel so secure.
No matter what went wrong, she always had a cure.

With her I felt absolutely no fear,
But now I’m scared of anything that comes near.

She healed me and put me back together,
So I held on to her; she was my tether.

Sadly, she suddenly cut the rope,
And with it went my happiness and hope.

The spell had finally been broken
As I realized I had awoken.

It had all just been a dream,
No matter how real it may have seemed.

Everything I felt had been an illusion,
Explained by the way it left me in shock and confusion.

My best dream became my worst nightmare.
She vanished while she was right there.

She left me to struggle on my own.
She left me stranded, isolated, and all alone.

I had to wake up and realize
That the only real truth are real lies.

But I can truly tell her, “You’re the sweetest dream I ever had,”
And for that, I can only be grateful and glad.

To be happy again, I’ll have to relive the past.
Hold on to every memory for as long as they last,

To look back at how I used to feel,
To remember them as if they were real.

Even though it’s over, l’ll have to pretend,
Because all good things must come to an end.

38, Heartstrings Are Played Upon © Hope

It’s becoming more evident
Much more obvious to me
I thought much more of you
Than you ever thought of me

Was this my biggest mistake
Letting myself think you cared
Was I just your marionette
With heartstrings open and bared

With me left here still thinking
What was false, what was true
So puzzling and so complex
I’m left to await another clue

On my heartstings you played
Each left with a loving memory
Yet I still have those questions
Do you ever think about me

I’m wondering why all the intrigue
Now why all of this mystery
Why am I left here hanging
Your the one that holds the key.

39, Ode To You © Carl Sinclair

Every morning I see your face,
And for that fleeting second I’m in a different place,
A place where we smiled, laughed, and talked,
A place where we could hold hands wherever we walked,
I’m reminded of this each and every day.
Then the sleep clears and it’s all blown away.

Realization sets in and I’m all alone.
I quickly have to check my phone
In case you’ve called or sent me a text.
Then it hits harder as what come next
Is the empty screen with your smiling face
And the emptiness of this forsaken place.

I wither up inside as all my hopes disappear
And the burn in my heart really starts to sear.
I sink back in my bed and think of you
And wonder if there’s anything I can do.
I’m knocked back every time I try to get through,
And now the decision is up to you.

Leave me out here in the cold and the rain,
Leave me to choke on the tears and the pain,
Missing you every minute of every day,
Loving you more and more in my way.
One day, my love, this will all be like a dream.
I just hope we can dream it together in our place so serene.

40, Six Silent Tears © Adrienne Kay

Last night before went to bed
Thoughts of you filled my head
Though I have not cried this way in many years
Onto my pillow fell six silent tears

The first was for your smile that I miss
And your tender lips I long to kiss
The second was for your angle face
And thoughts of your loving embrace

The third came as no surprise
As I thought of your beautiful eyes
The fourth came rolling
Instead of my pillow, it should have been you I was holding

The fifth came for one reason alone
I felt my love for you wasn’t fully shown
I really love and miss you my dear
And there just fell the sixth silent tear.

41, Ending Her Cries © Tyler Mac Donald

I looked into her eyes
I got lost in their depth
A glance into the future
Revealing the secrets she kept

For so many years she cared too
Yet we were both afraid to say
We avoided each other completely…
Every time, simply another day

She cried to me one night.
—Please help, I don’t know what to do
I wrapped my arms around her body.
—It is okay now, I’m here with you

She told me about her boyfriend,
He cheated, and hurt her bad…
I told her not to worry…
But in the inside I was getting mad.

I held back my anger…
And I comforted her instead.
Playing with her hair,
She lay still on my bed.

I leaned over to kiss her cheek,
She smiled and turned to me.
—Thank you for being there…
I Have finally learned to see

With that she drifted off,
I left her quietly sleeping.
—How could anyone want to hurt her?
I ran through thoughts, my heart leaping.

I met up with her boyfriend,
Swung out of pure love and rage.
A knife stabbed through my stomach..
—God where were you today?

My head smacking onto the pavement,
My breath getting thin…
My vision blurred and fading slowly…
This was a battle I could never win.

As this darkness consumes me…
Light fills my eyes…
I am proud to have lost my life,
If it meant ending her cries…

42, Corrupted Love © Angelgirl

A warm sensation fills my body
My heart races with every touch
The softness of your voice soothes
My soul
As I lay there hoping the moment
Will never end
Calling out for you
Praying that you’ll never let me go
The sensation so strong
I can no longer feel my body
Slowly I fade in and out of reality
In an instant the warm sensation
Fades away
My heart empty
My soul torn apart
Lying there; wondering where I went
Wrong
Calling out for you, only to find
there is no answer
My mind invaded with thoughts
So cruel and unrefined
The sensation of fear of what’s to come
Slowly the reality over powering
The lust and fantasy
Leaving me empty
Confused on how to think or feel
The loneliness I feel
So wretched and compelled
Betrayal to myself
Revealing the terrors of my love

43, Gone Forever © Dane Yule

I miss the times when you were here,
Telling me to have no fear.
To hold my head up high and strong,
Add happy notes to my sad song.

I miss the way you look at me
As if I were too blind to see.
The path I’m on might hurt and scathe,
But all goes well if you just have faith.

I miss the sound of your sweet voice,
Through bitter times a saving noise
That told me what was right and wrong
But rang in my ears for far too long.

A caring person, you were such
Who helped and hurt me, oh so much.
You’d guide and mislead me through the day
You left me lonely when I’d rather you stay.

Over things like that you had no control.
A rock set in motion will continue to roll.
No matter how hard you tug and heave,
You were always pushed and forced to leave.

Then one day you never returned,
My tears so hot they almost burned.
Aware now about what I lack,
But crying and mourning won’t bring you back.

For me to let out what I need to say.
I can’t do much more than pray.
No longer am I weak; my heart’s quite strong
From adding a happy chorus to a sad, sad song.

44, Alone © Moondust

Purity once had a name,
And beauty once had a face.
Life once had a meaning,
And once I was safe.
Once there was freedom,
And once I could laugh.
Happiness once was alive,
And once I had another half.
Once I shared her love,
Once I was by her side,
Once I felt I fitted,
So quickly that died.
Her grace so great,
Her beauty so vast,
All I ever wanted,
Was for it to last.
Fate maybe had another plan,
Or maybe she had another love,
But it all fell apart,
The hand too big for the glove.
Now it’s all died away,
Happiness, joy, love; all memories.
Now I walk alone in this dark, dark world,
With no light to guide my way.

45, Walking Away © Vanessa Brown

I’m tired of dreaming.
I’m through with trying.
Tired of living, yet scared of dying.
Maybe things are good for you,
but look at all that I’ve been through.
Look at all the pain I’ve won.
I bet you think that it’s been fun.
You never thought I’d turn away.
You never believed you’d see this day.
Look again because here I go,
leaving behind all I know.
Changing it all as I must do.
Not daring to stop and think things through.
Wanting to run as fast as I can,
not stopping until I understand.
Like why did I let things get this way?
Why didn’t I leave yesterday?
How are things going to be
since there is no more you and me?

46, Falling In And Out Of Love © Rose

When I say I love you I do
But this with you will not do
I need someone I can lean on
Someone I can count on too

Yes you are there sometimes
For that I am grateful to you
But I need someone there full time
And that you can not do

You told me once you loved me
That I could believe in you
I was there when you needed someone
Where were you when I needed someone, too?

The time has come for me to let go
Never to expect you to care again
People may come and people may go
But my love will never end

47, Free From A Bad Relationship © Alone

As I sit in my corner and think about your lies,
I have nothing else to do but break down and cry.
You knew it would end,
You knew it would die,
You knew one day we’d have to say goodbye.
You told me you loved me,
You told me you cared,
But the rage inside has slowly flared.
The moments we shared replay in my head,
Along with all the sweet lies you said.
You thought it was a game,
You thought you’d win,
But in the end you felt nothing within.
Deep down inside there was a big empty space
That I now realize you couldn’t replace.
Something about you helped me see
That without love I’m finally free.
Free from pain,
Free from lies,
Free from having tear filled eyes.
Without your love I finally see
All the horrid things you’ve come to be.

48, Promises Made © Christopher

Yesterday’s goals, dim memories.
Dark saddened eyes, blurring with tears.
Painful scars borne; Love’s history.
Futures crumble when doubt appears.

No brightly lit hope envisioned,
When following after harsh words.
Hurt soul splits in twain, partitioned.
Swooned by appeal — when numbness lured.

Apologies made, never bought.
Price paid turned out far too costly.
Though never known what would be wrought —
Must walk into the night softly.

One wish, only to be released.
Granted — now receive this token.
Words written in rhyme, love’s deceased.
When promises made . . . were broken.

49, The Boxes In The Hall © Adrian Baillie

In every room of our time together there is a box
Of memories we shared.
Now is the time to pack away
With sadness and with care.

The first is a simple smile,
Whenever I thought of you.
Neatly folded into four,
It’s the best that I could do.

Next are all the memories
Of the times when we were two,
Wrapped with love one by one,
Sealed with tears as glue.

And then there are the butterflies
I had when you were near
Now in a cage of sadness
And locked up with a tear.

Next are the times we kissed,
Each one wrapped with a sigh,
Placed next to a rolled up list
Of all the times I’ve asked myself why.

Now to pack are the pieces of my heart,
Gathered in a pile,
Each one wrapped up tenderly,
And placed next to a distant smile.

Finally all the shattered wishes,
Placed in softly so no more can break,
Covering them over trying not to cry
So they would not all ache.

Lastly walking round each room,
Closing each and every curtain,
Shutting each and every door,
Leaving behind each and ever pain.

Gathering up the memories we shared,
Making sure I’ve got them all,
Packing them softly because I cared,
Leaving them in the boxes in the hall.

50, You’ll Never Know © Sonja

You’ll never know
How much I loved you,
How much I cared.

You’ll never know
About my pain,
About my broken heart.

You’ll never know
How much I cried,
Just lying on my bed
And thinking of you . . .
kissing her.

51, Stuck In A Dream © Mssparklyone

Last night I had a dream,
We were walking hand in hand,
On a deserted island beach,
Over endless miles of sand,

The moon was shining bright,
You looked over at me and smiled,
Your eyes so full of passion,
Our thoughts both running wild,

We laid down and held each other,
So close but never enough,
The tides came in and nearly covered us,
As we made pure and beautiful love,

I had never known so much beauty,
As your skin in the pale moon light,
Every moment so intense and new,
On this warm, dark and blissful night.

But as the sun rose the next morning,
You disappeared and left me alone,
I’m still on that deserted island,
Come back and bring me home…

52, I’m Still Lovin’ You © Coramaew

I sit on my bed every night.
I look for a star to wish on, but not one is in sight.
So I try to sleep, but all I see is you.
I think to myself, is he feeling this too?
You’ve hurt me so many times, but I can’t be mad.
Instead, I sit around crying and being sad,
But before I go to sleep every night, I always smile
Because even though we didn’t last long, it was worth the while.
You may not feel this feeling between us two,
But in the end you won’t find anyone who loves you as much as I do.
I’ll admit, I don’t understand.
I put my trust in you and all you want is to be my friend?
I ask myself why.
Did you have to keep me hanging on so long and then say goodbye?
I wish you would’ve told me from the start.
Because of you, now all I have left are the memories and a broken heart.

53, What Did You Expect? © Sandy Fioretti

You came into my life
As quickly as you left.
You grabbed a cutting knife
And sliced right through my breast.

You didn’t mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

My heart now cut in two
It feels beyond repair.
Injury done by you
God, life just isn’t fair.

You didn’t mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

So here we are, just friends,
But I long to be more.
Desire with no end
Throbbing from my core.

You didn’t mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

54, 6 Lonely Tears © Angela Pilant

First I shed a single tear because we are apart,
wanting nothing but to be with you,
to make a brand new start

The 2nd tear I shed is a lonely tear indeed.
My mind goes wild, my body goes numb,
and my heart begins to bleed.

The 3rd tear I cry wanting to feel your touch,
to taste your kiss and lips on mine,
I want so very much.

The 4th tear I cry thinking of you at night,
wanting you to hold me
as I grip my pillow tight.

The 5th tear I cry stains my pillowcase.
My mind drifts off in la la land
as I take us to that place.

The 6th tear I shed my thoughts go very deep,
simply dream of me and you
as I drift off fast to sleep.

55, Farewell My Love © Joanna Fuchs

Is it really true our love is over now?
Can it be time for us to say goodbye?
Too soon, it’s much too soon, my love, for me;
You smile with ease, but I can only sigh.

We’ve shared our lives and given so much love;
I can’t believe we’re really going to part;
You’re moving toward a new life without me;
I’m left with scars upon my broken heart.

Go on now, if you must; I’ll get along;
How much it hurts, I don’t want you to know.
I’ll set you free without inducing guilt,
But as you leave, the silent tears will flow.

I can’t be mad; I love you way too much;
I’ll hide my sadness now, so you can’t tell.
Sweet happiness is what I wish for you;
Farewell my love, I hope that you fare well.

As much as we argue,
As much as we fight,
We always turn it around by the end of the night.

I really do love you.
I really do care.
I really hope you will always be there.

As Much As We Argue © Zach Watson

56, For Love’s Sake © Susan Christensen

I’m so tired of this empty feeling.
I’m so tired of being alone.
I lay here staring at the ceiling,
Waiting by the phone.

I jump when the phone rings.
It brings a smile to my face.
When he hangs up my heart stings,
And I sink back into my lonely place.

I wish and I dream
That we’ll be together soon.
I can’t wait until we can look up hand in hand
At the stars and at the moon.

I yearn for his kisses
His touch – His embrace.
I can’t wait for Thursdays
When I get to see his face.

I’m flooded with thoughts of him
In my heart, soul, and mind.
I imagine his touch,
So gentle and kind.

I try not to weep.
I hope he doesn’t hear my cries,
But I can’t stop the tears
Falling from my eyes.

I cry a thousand tears
And think – how much more can I take?
But in my heart I know I’d wait a thousand years
All for love’s sake.

57, Entrapment © Christopher

Hopelessly bound
unfettered
by the chains of love’s grip
— greatest gift,
fate’s cruelest curse.

Wherefore do I weep
at knowing the joy,
the warmth,
at feeling the peace,
the fire.

Wherefore do I weep
unable to complete ,
to be,
unknown the kiss,
the flames.

Wherefore do I weep
at loving not living
seeing not touching
breathing not sharing
holding not loving?

All,
because I, The Fool,
am no more?

58, True Love Exist © Rabail Gandahi

How come you walk away from someone you love
And decided to turns as like nothing happen
How come you opened a locked door
And closed in one as strong at a time.

I can still remember the image of your face
The moment you said “We are going to stay forever and ever”
For we uttered such sweetest words
Now, I wonder how this could be.

Does forever and ever are just words?
You made me as a whole
And showed me how to love in unconditional
Yet, you are crossing your words

You are perfect in my eyes
And no one else could ever makes me feel this way
I could not just compare you in anyone in this world
You showed me that TRUE LOVE exist

There, I thought, I finally found someone true
Yet, I was wrong and wrong again
How could you break a heart that beats you alone?
My love for you just won’t die down easily.

I wish you would open your eyes and dare to look at me
And hear “I love you and I don’t want to let you go”
But it seems you don’t even care
Just everything goes shambles without you

I just wish I could learn to forget
To forget the image of your smile and be deaf of your cracks
You taught me to handle when everything goes tough
But you forget to teach me to stand still whenever you’re gone

I know I was been even more tough to be drive
But, I tried my best to change and seem my best not enough
Yet, it’s too late, you already blow it away
It seems you are content to left me and walk far

You even doubt when I said I love you, please DON’T!
I may be even more regimented
But it doesn’t mean I don’t love you
I love you more than you’ll ever know

But, now you simply changed
That breaks my heart in pieces
An ink pot of tears as I write this thought
Each word within is equal to one tear drop.

Yet, despite of all we’ve been through
I can’t learn to hate and forget you
Just imagining the image of your face and
hear your cracks
All anger is gone.

59, The Hardest Thing I’ll Ever Do © Leal Ashae Sargent

The hardest thing I’ll ever do
Is let go of you
And look forward instead of back at my past,
I wonder how long this broken heart will last.
I guess everything you ever said was a lie,
So I’m going to move forward, or at least I’m going to try.
How many times can a heart crack before it shatters?
Or does it even matter?
I’ve sat and cried over you way too much,
Just wishing one more time I could feel your touch.
But you don’t care, and neither should I.
So I’m going to move on, or at least I’m going to try.

60, The Secret Crush © Nicole Mecham

She’d known him her entire life
She always dreamed to be his wife
Just his smile made her heart melt
But she never told him how she felt

Forever hoped to have him here
Always dreamed to hold him near
Time passed and they both did grow
But still she never let him know

Perfect chances passed her by
But she just couldn’t tell this guy
No matter what she’d ever do…
He still didn’t have a clue

But one day her whole world did end
When she heard news from a friend
About the wreck he’d gotten in…
She’d never see his smile again

Now at his grave she softly cries
The tears running from sad eyes
This hurting girl whose heart is broken
All because of love unspoken

61, What I Miss… © Thalia Jones

I miss how we used to be,
So vibrant, so honest, so wild and free.

I miss the way you would understand,
Listen carefully and be there when I needed a hand.

I miss our long, random talks at night,
Our private conversations,
Our silly little fights.

I miss the way you could read my mind,
Know what to say,
When words were hard to find.

I miss the way you could brighten my day,
Make me forget the mistakes,
Make the pain go away.

I miss how you made me laugh,
Hate how you made me cry,

Loved how you said you would always be there,
But once again, I forgot that everything you say is a lie.

62, It’s Really Hurts © Rabail Gandahi

It’s been days since we become
Since we looked into each others eye
Not realizing where it going to lead us

It’s been days since we started
Since we shared our smiles and laughs
Though we can’t make it real

Fallen in a wrong place and wrong time
Baby, why you just came now?
When everything’s cannot be possible

If it’s written in the sky
I would rather sleep as possible as I can
Than to wake up one day without you

But you leave, got no way to cease you
To make you stay even just at a time
Baby, why you need to go?

Don’t you know that it tears me up inside
I used to cry many times a day and night
And my heart broke in pieces

Mine, I am totally lost since you leave
I wish I tried something to make you stay
Even bad times, I’d rather stay with you

Now, that I really miss you
Want to leave this place but have no place to go
Everywhere I go I can see you here and there

If you could just imagine how it hurts me so
I got no way to make you stay
How much more to make you mine

Wish I could just close my eyes not to see you
And block my ears not to hear your noise
For every time our moments comes in my mind
It’s really hurts me so.

63, Goodbye © Tanya

I’m tired of your apologies,
I’m tired of your lies.
You’ve left me feeling empty,
Ready to say goodbye.
I’ve given you my heart.
I’ve given you my soul.
I’m tired of feeling empty,
Just once more to feel whole.
Show me you love me,
Whole-heartedly and undoubtedly
Give me reason to believe
That we were meant to be.
Give me hope and understanding.
These are just some of what I need.
I’m drowning in a feeling
That what we had may be gone,
But I’m praying that feeling is wrong.
I’m tired of your apologies.
I’m tired of your lies.
Please give it all you’ve got before I say goodbye.

64, The Game © Susan Christensen

Let me tell you about a game I play
Where I close my eyes and fade away

I float away to a special place
Beyond the stars and moon and space

In this special place you see
There are only two people – just you and me

In this place, all is right
Nothing but love, and we never fight

In this place, there is no sadness
No cells, no courts, none of that madness

No rules to follow, no laws to break
No bars to hold us or separate

No one to tell us we can’t kiss or touch
I don’t just tell you “I love you” – I show you how much

But eventually the game must end
My eyes must open, and reality sets in

But someday soon – I’m not sure when
I will close my eyes and play my game again.

65, Someday You’ll Miss Me Like I Missed You © Summer

Someday you’ll miss me like I missed you.
Someday you’ll cry for me like I cried for you.
Someday you’ll want me back like I wanted you.
Someday you’ll understand why you broke my heart when I didn’t.
Someday you’ll understand that I was the only girl that put up with all your mess.
Someday you’ll know how pain feels, how you hurt me.
Someday your life will turn upside down like mine did when you broke my heart.
Someday you’ll have someone hurt you like you hurt me.
Someday you’ll realize how lonely life can be.
Someday you can sit down and think how much I meant to you
When you meant the world to me.
Someday you’ll know how I really felt.
Someday you’ll try to come back to me like I tried with you,
But someday you’ll love me when I won’t love you.

66, Lost © Shelli

I thought it was a dream; I thought it wasn’t real,
But pain really hurts and it’s really how I feel.
Memories keep coming back, and so do all of the tears.
I hear your voice, and as quick as the smile came, it quickly disappears.
I don’t know what is happening, because you always held my hand.

You said you would never let go; that is what I don’t understand.
So many promises you made, and more of them broken.
Lost and confused, feels like I’m choking.
A lot of things I did not say;
Now I can’t find my way.

I feel like a boomerang; you throw me but not only that.
Every time you throw me, I always seem to come back.
Back to you, back to pain.
Nothing has changed, you’re still the same.

I cannot start over because I don’t know where to start.
I guess that is what happens when someone breaks your heart.
If we are supposed to follow our dreams, why can’t I follow you?
Because now I am so lost, I wish you were lost without me too.

67, This Cant Be Real © Rabail Gandahi

We’ve come so far
But you leave me all alone
Am I just dreaming when you said
Only death can make us apart

I almost give everything to you
Giving you all my trust
And loving you like no other
Is it not enough?

I can’t believe you are leaving
I even don’t know the reason why
Am I not enough to be love?
Nor don’t deserve to be love

You said my life might be so miserable
No, what is life without you
I want you to know
I can’t learn living without you

Why you need to go?
This can’t be real
Don’t you have any conscience?
To leave it all behind.

68, Lies © Kendra

You broke my heart in two
And took me like a bet.
With all you put me through,
I have so many regrets.

To lose you was worth it,
although I wasn’t sure.
It seemed to make me happy
but still so insecure.

We always said forever
we would take it to the end,
never give it up,
but this time my heart couldn’t mend.

It cut so deep into me.
I guess it hurt you too,
but when you did it, then you lied.
I had to say, “We’re through.”

I gave you all I had.
I tried to make it last,
but now all we have
are memories from the past.

So look me in the eye,
and tell me what you see.
A girl so broken inside
who’s been through misery.

And now I’m moving on
with the pain that kills inside,
but I’m starting to forget
by reminding myself how you lied!

I have somebody new,
someone to treat me right,
to talk to lovingly
and to hold me all night.

He’s there for me when I need him,
to give me love and support,
to hold me close and wipe away
all my signs of hurt.

To kiss me softly every night
and let me know he’s there
to call me just because,
just to tell me that he cares.

Now here I go again
fallen so hard, so deep,
but this time it’s different.
This is one I want to keep!

69, I Already Miss You © Kayla

Looking back on everything,
I still remember his smile.
I wish things didn’t end so soon,
And turn back time for awhile.

No matter how much it hurts,
I still love him so.
A part of me needs him so much,
Can’t seem to let him go.

Knowing I won’t be able to see him,
Makes my heart cry out in pain.
I can’t believe we won’t talk anymore,
The thought makes me wanna go insane.

He was my reason for waking up,
For the smile you see on my face.
Going a single day without him,
Makes me feel so out of place.

I was afraid of opening up,
Now I’m afraid of the next day.
Whenever I see him one last time,
I’m terrified of what he may say.

I know tomorrow will hurt,
But the tears will fade away.
Life is too short for regrets,
There will be a brighter day.

But when I see him one last time,
I won’t know what to do…
When he tells me that last goodbye,
I’ll whisper,”I already miss you..”

70, I’m Sorry For Hurting You © Casey

I’m sorry for hurting you, like the way I do
I’m sorry for the hurtful things I always say to you
We know the fight will never last
but still the amount they do
I’d like to say I’m sorry for everything I put you through.

It kills me when we fight, and it scares me too
I always make you cry and it kills me when you do
As I write this now, I know this much is true
I love you with all my heart and will always be with you.

71, Hollow © Fathimath L. Ahmed

Emotions.
Do you feel them?
She was numb and frozen,
Yet it dimly sparkled like a dying gem.

Broken.
Do you know what that feels like?
Piercing explosions,
Burning afflictions,
Hollers of agonizing cries.
She had nothing left inside.

Eyes closed,
Heartbeat stopped,
Barely alive.

She was a hollow shell.
Into an endless oblivion she fell,
Pitch black and nearly brain dead.
There was nothing in her life ahead.

Passion.
Why is it so strong?
She was deprived from it.
Devils had done her heart way too many wrongs.
Killed was the lust,
Lost was the temptation.

Love.
Why is it so painful?
Once crystal clear and beautiful,
Now a turned poison from what was as pure as golden dust.

She wanted nothing to do with it.
Not long ago it had made her bleed.

Hidden thorns
On her skin that burned.

She was a hollow shell.
Into an endless oblivion she fell.
Pitch black and nearly brain dead.
There was nothing in her life ahead.

Eyes opened,
Tears flowed,
Standing in front of a mirror,
Watching as she wholly became hollow.

72, The Drunk Driver © TinyDancer

She was drinking at a party
On a raging New Year’s Eve
She had to be home early
She knew she had to leave

“Honey do you need a ride”
Her boyfriend sweetly said
She just smiled back at him
And quickly shook her head

“I’ve got to leave right now
So I’ll just take my car…
But don’t you worry, sweetheart
Cause I won’t drive too far”

Unaware she’d been drinking,
He watched her drive away
She knew that this was wrong
But she did it anyway

“I only had a couple drinks
I know that I’ll survive”
She kept saying in her head
As she went for this short drive

The alcohol took over her
She wasn’t thinking straight
She assumed that there was no one
Who’d be driving out this late

She ran all of the stop lights
As she sped along the road
Never thinking of the pain
This night would soon behold

But out of nowhere, came a car
She screamed as headlights flashed
She flew out of the windshield
As both of their cars crashed

She woke up laying on the ground
Sirens screaming in the night
She was bleeding quite a bit
But she knew she’d be alright

With dread, she saw the other car
That had rolled down the hill
She knew this was her fault
As she started feeling ill

But when she saw the body
Tears started falling down
As she looked down to find
Her dead boyfriend on the ground

73, Without You © Dawn

All these days and nights without you here,
It’s a little bit more than I can bear.

The days are cold and so very long.
I don’t know how much longer I can be strong.

My nights are so lonely and sad.
Sometimes I can’t help but get mad.

I see your face everywhere I look.
It breaks my heart that my great love is what they took.

Without you here it feels like the end.
I’m lost without you ’cause you were also my best friend.

I’ll be counting the days and nights till we’re together again.
Until then, it’s all my love that I send!

74, A Lost Love © Steve Stewart

There’s a pain in my heart that I’m feeling today,
for the love of my life feels further each day.

The sorrow is so much and the pain is so deep.
I’ve hurt her again’ I can’t even sleep.

But I now know the problem, the curse of our love.
It was buried inside me, with no sight from above.

And now that I see it, I force it away.
Yet I fear that I’ve lost her, nevermore can I say

that I love her so deeply and regret all the pain,
and I know it’s my fault; no one else can I blame.

And I search for an answer, somewhere above
and hope she’ll forgive me and remember our love.

For I can’t live without her and could never move on,
for how can one live when what they live for is gone?

Walls are closing around me; I sink slowly each day,
yet I cling to a hope that seems far away

that she will return to me and feel my embrace.
I miss her so badly and the beauty of her face

as she slept there beside me, never knowing the truth,
that I would smile there beside her, and be thankful for the proof

that someone does care, for I have known this angel,
and I’d softly kiss her cheek, the moment so blissful.

And I’d hold her all night and feel so at peace,
yet I never told her these things; now I watch as she flees.

But I know she remembers it, the love that I gave,
and I hope she can forgive me, the cause of her pain.

For like an angel from heaven, she came into my life.
Now I plead one last time, for one last chance to make it right.

Yet I fear it won’t heal; how I’ve ripped us apart,
but I must let her know what’s inside this broken heart.

That I love her so much and I’ve made a mistake,
and I hope she won’t leave because it’s my heart she will take.

We were in love for so long; I know she remembers.
It started three years ago that night in September.

I will never forget how I felt that cold night;
my breath taken away by the beauty of her sight.

I write these words now with tears in my eyes,
for I love her so much; I sit and I die.

I’m so lost without her, don’t want her to go,
not without me saying what I need her to know.

That I’ve always loved her and miss her each day,
yet the hope that she loves me drifts further away.

I just want her to know how I truly feel,
and to know that my words are nothing but real.

And it doesn’t take a special time to make a new start;
it takes only desire and true love from the heart.

75, He Died From A Brokenheart © Cassanova

He moved to a new town,
felt like he was lost,
he always wore a frown,
till he seen the angel across,

one day he met her,
it was like a sign,
she was so pretty just,
endless like time,

together they fell,
in deep love real fast,
vowed to love each other,
that they’d always last,

then it got stronger,
deeper than thought,
he’d love her forever,
felt life was to short,

then something went wrong,
and they spent less time,
the boy started to wonder,
is she even still mine,

till one day she called,
and heres what she said,
“id rather be alone,
then with u instead,

from that day on,
inside more he died,
he couldn’t let go,
no matter how hard he tried,

two and a half years have past,
in life he feels he has no part,
twenty-one days later,
he died from a broken heart,

heres to all u lovers,
who don’t picture your selfs apart,
make sure you cherish every moment,
right from the very start…

76, I Love You And Goodbye © Nadine Sandalo

Not once did I expect this to happen.
Never in my wildest dream have I’ve fallen,
For a boy who wasn’t my prince charming
Nor to someone who is my friend.

It must have been your sweetness that melted my heart
Or your gentle smile that could be the start.
Whatever the reason for me to feel this way,
One thing I know – this strange feeling grows stronger everyday.

All this time I’ve been praying
For you to see and look at me as a lady.
Every now and then I woke up dreaming
That I could be your girl, not just a friend.

Then reality broke me into pieces
It wounded me badly as it came to my senses
That you belong to someone else,
And I’m left alone with all this heartache.

A few might have a clue,
But nobody knows the pain I’ve been through.
They can’t guess the sleepless nights
Nor count the tears I’ve cried.

My friends see me smiling and laughing,
Yet deep inside there’s no place for denying.
I know I have to surrender and let go –
At least to cease and ease the misery.

Still I’d be happy,
Because happiness means seeing you being one.
And let me say this for once, I love you!
But I love you more, so goodbye…

77, Crying © Matthew

I know I promised I’d never make you cry;
I know it hurts but please dry your eyes.

I will give to you whatever you need;
A hug, a kiss, just tells me please.

To see you cry is a terrible sight;
Just let me love you and I’ll hold you tight.

I’ll do anything you want to make you proud;
I’ll climb the highest peak and yell your name aloud.

I love you to much to see you cry;
Please sweetheart don’t say goodbye.

Don’t push me away I must stay near;
To gently wipe away your tears.

If we must truly say goodbye;
One more time just close your eyes.

And let us share one final kiss;
For you are the love, I will forever miss.

78, Faithful, Unsure Love © Shana Worthen

Through all the storms and struggles—
All the fights and tussles,
All the disrespect, and abuse,
My love was always true.

When you made me cry, made me feel unloved,
I was always there by your side.
No matter what you did or what you said,
I was proud to be your girl.

My love for you is greater than anything in this world.
You know that no one can love you like I do.
Everything we have been through,
I was faithful to you and only you.

I was your girl, your boo;
But all you ever did was treat me like garbage.
You said, “Baby, you know I love you.”
But true love doesn’t break my heart.

I tried and tried to look past it,
But the more I tried, the more I saw the real you.
All the lies, all the deceit,
You must have thought you were slick.

To love you more than anything
Would be ignorant on my part.
I can’t image my life without you,
But I can’t image my life with you.

I deserve more than what you give me,
Better than what I have now.
Growing up is something that you need to do.
My love for you is always there…
But my heart is moving on to better things.

79, The Poet’s Heart © BlueDreams

No uttered words the poet speaks,
No skies of golden hue,
No tales of unrequited love,
They were lost when I lost you.

No words to caress his lover’s heart,
And gone the dreams he swore they’d live,
But alone within the poet dwells,
No uttered words… none left to give.

No music swells within his soul,
Just silence surrounds his heart,
And the solitude engulfs his world,
When the poet and love depart.

And lost the beauty he once could see,
And the glory he saw each day,
Now the poet pens his last farewell,
No more love can he convey.

But what’s the poet’s soul to do?
To release the love he feels,
For he’ll surely die and wither,
If that love he now conceals.

He must hide the hurt and heartache,
Just smile to friends and say,
I’m fine… love doesn’t matters,
And deceive them all that way.

For a different face he’ll show them,
To barricade his pain,
To hide his shattered spirit,
From the love he ne’er attained.

But the pain within shall kill him,
Not soon but through the years,
For the poet knows his anguish,
When alone he sheds her tears.

And at night when dreams come calling,
With her voice, her smile… her eyes,
A single tear upon his cheek,
Hides the pain his heart belies.

For he loved her soul completely,
Was consumed by beauty’s bliss,
Had shared her inner thoughts,
But never shared her kiss.

And when death comes to the poet,
And to heaven his soul ascends,
He’ll smile before her beauty,
For eternity never ends.

So will the poet regret the life,
Which stole away the years,
No he’ll simply recall the love,
He felt in all her tears.

And when his love has joined him,
And they meet in heaven’s bliss,
Their regrets will quickly perish,
As they kiss their first sweet kiss.

And the words will quickly flow again,
From my thoughts, to hand… to book,
I’ll not write of God or Heaven,
When upon your face I look.

So the poet’s again a poet,
For the words were always there,
I just didn’t see much beauty,
When your love I couldn’t share.

So their souls will find the love at last,
That in life they could not seek,
And the poet soon finds the words in you…
The words… he could not speak.

80, Someday I’ll Be Okay! © Britaney L. Adams

This ink, it runs.
This paper is stained
Tears run free as
I’m stuck in a daze.
I put this pen to paper,
To write the words
This voice can’t deliver.
My heart is heavy
With pain and despair.
Can’t breathe.
I’m fighting for air.
My mind is spinning
At the speed of light.
This pain in my life
Has clouded my mind.
The thoughts are deafening
Of my life you took away,
But after all my
Heartache,
Someday I’ll be okay!

81, The Sad Truth… © TinyDancer

I thought things were good now
I thought we’d overcome the bad
Now I see through the illusion
Of the love I thought we had

You told me that you met her
Now you don’t know what to do
I smiled and said “Just pick her
I’ll be fine not having you”

But I couldn’t hold my tears back
So I whispered “Got to go…”
Then I quickly hung the phone up
So my hurting wouldn’t show

Now I’m shaking and I’m crying
And I don’t know what to do
Cause the truth is, I was lying
I can’t make it without you!

82, All I’ve Ever Known © Ashley Bahr

It’s time for us to leave,
But I wish that we could wait.
This has been dreaded for too long,
And I’m not ready for this pain.

But before we leave each other,
Before we have to go,
There’s something I must say,
Some things you need to know.

You’re all I ever wanted,
The one thing I needed,
The only one who could find
The very best in me.

The only one who saw
My empty, broken heart
And worked your way right in
To fix the broken parts.

You are my everything,
And I hope that you can see
You’re everything I asked for,
Just what I needed you to be.

I hope you’ll always know
There is a special part
Saved up just for you
Right here in my heart.

Deep down, we both knew
This ending would come at last,
And now that it is here,
It’s happening way too fast.

Everything we had
Will soon be lost in time.
The memories will fade,
But I’ll remember this goodbye.

It breaks my heart to know
I won’t see you ever again.
These are our last moments,
And they’re coming to an end.

If you don’t remember this,
Then just before you go,
Get this one last thing.
This you have to know.

You’re the first one I let in
And the first I’m letting go.
I will love you always.
Your love is all I’ve ever known.

83, But That Time © Goran Rahim

We will live through the days
No matter if it is sun or rain.
We have hope for a happy tomorrow
Even if today we live through pain.
The days come and go
In every moment,
There is something new to see.
Today,
While you don’t respect my feelings
Tomorrow,
The same feelings may not be.
There will also be a day,
When my memories take over your sleep.
Then that time,
I will not have pity.
You will look for me,
In every road and street.
But that time,
I will not be in this city.

84, The Darkness In That Night © Josh

A chill in the air awoke him,
And he pulled his blankets tight.
The booze was running strong;
It had been a good night.

He felt sick and tried to sleep again,
Relaxed and breathed a sigh.
The room was dark and silent,
And he could still taste the rye.

He laid there dazed and lazy,
But something was not right.
He felt the need to investigate
The darkness in that night.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes
And looked over at his side.
When he didn’t see her,
A fear crept up inside.

He knew something was wrong;
She is never up this late.
Now his curiosity
Would make him investigate.

He strained his ears to listen,
Hoping he could hear her
But couldn’t hear a thing,
Only his heart beating fear.

He stood up and walked to the door
And paused one more time.
Again he heard no sound
But saw a dull light’s shine.

It came from downstairs somewhere
And he knew she must be here.
He went down the stairs to find her
And grab another beer.

He went down the stairs slowly
And turned the corner to the hall,
Took two steps to the kitchen.
Two steps -that was all.

He stopped and stood silent.
His body frozen in shock.
His mind trying to comprehend
As time ticked off the clock.

He watched the look of pleasure
The passion in her eye
As she took everything he had
And gave it to another guy.

His body began to tremble,
His emotions ran hot.
He was going to kill them
Right there on the spot.

He walked into the kitchen
And tried to grab a knife.
He wasn’t going to listen,
Just going to take their life.

They heard him open drawers
And panic filled the air.
They were caught red handed
But could only just stand there.

He screamed at them and threatened
And smashed everything in sight.
This was it for him.
He would deal with this tonight.

She tried to walk up and grab him,
But something held her in place.
She knew something was wrong
By the pain on his face.

He fell down on the floor
Overwhelmed with grief.
He knew it was too much;
He would find no relief.

The pain was too much for him
And he began to fade.
The anger in his blood
Spilling out along his blade.

All the screams became silent
And he felt no more fear.
This day would never shine on him,
For he would not be here.

He prayed the dark would come
And take him away.
He would not have to feel this
For even one lonely day.

His body shook and he knew
That his time was near
When she came to hold him
And whispered in his ear,

“I’m sorry love, you know I am.
Please don’t leave me now.
I’m so sorry, please don’t die.
I’ll make it up somehow.

She told the man to call for help
And tried to save his life.
His last words to her were
I wanted you to be my wife.

85, A Message From My Heart © Mary Cathleen

I thought it was what I wanted.
You promised me it was.
You took me in your arms
And told me it was love.

I knew it wasn’t right,
And I wanted it to stop.
You told me not to worry.
My efforts were for naught.

You told me it’s okay,
That everything is fine,
That what we had together
Was something more divine.

You said we’d never part,
And so I made my choice.
I went against my heart
And listened to your voice.

And like a child, I heard you,
And like a slave, I obeyed,
And like a fool, I believe in part
That you meant what you say.

But now I’m left all by myself,
A flower trying to stand tall
But to no avail; I push myself
For my petals just wilt and fall.

86, Yesterday’s Smiles © Debbylyn

There’s a photo of us that sits near the bed
Close by the cold place you once laid your head.
Our faces look out with yesterday’s smiles
Replaced now by tear trails that cover the miles.

Remember the walk that hot July day?
We never could guess you’d be so far away.
Then, once a month seemed too long to bear
Now twice a year’s all the love that we share.

Stay happy you tell me, someday there won’t be
Such a great distance between you and me.
But now what I feel is hard to get through
The lonely days passing that don’t contain you.

87, It’s His Fault © Amanda Gray

Why do you beat yourself up
because you had the courage to love,
gave all of yourself in hopes that he was the one?

Why do you beat yourself up
when it was his choice to be unfaithful,
his choice to hurt you?

Why do you beat yourself up,
knowing that you had done everything for him,
supported him, comforted him,
loved him more than you loved yourself?

Why, after his lies and deceit,
do you still love him and want him to love you?
Why, after the repeat of hurt and trust being lost,
do you think that he deserves a love as pure as yours?

Why do you beat yourself up
over what you could have done better
when you know deep down there was nothing?

What makes you search for answers as to why
when they will not change the past
nor mend your broken heart?

Why, when a man decides to cheat, do we blame ourselves?
Why does it make us question every little detail about who we are,
make us think that we are not worthy of love?

Why, when a man cheats, do we still long for him to change,
realize how wrong he was, and fall in love with us again?

Why do you beat yourself up,
when you deserve more,
when all that you have done is loved someone completely?

Give yourself time, and the pain will subside,
and the mourning will cease.
You will see that you are still you,
still wonderful, beautiful you

Nothing has changed except your experience in love
and your determination to share love with another.

As you can never truly love someone
until you learn to love yourself.

88, Unconditionally Painfully In Love © Jasmine S. Johnson

This pain is taking its toll,
But my love it never gets old.
The trials and defeated emotions
Keeping me sane with magical potions.
The heart that keeps my blood flowing,
That pain that keeps me down but going.
If the pain leaves and love stays,
How would life be for me?
Would I have a hole in my heart
Where hurt and pain used to be?
Is there a way out of this
Loving, painful misery?
Is there a way into this
Love that I have failed or neglected to receive?
Is this love?
Unconditionally loving you is
Bringing me pain,
But it keeps me sane because I have you.
Am I kidding myself?
Am I in denial that you love me back?
Am I just a dream away from reality?
Am I making believe that I love you?
I think not…
But pain keeps me going.
My heart keeps my blood flowing.
You keep my life glowing.
Jesus keeps me believing.
My calmness is showing,
But my happiness is hiding
From pain and love.
I unconditionally, painfully love you.

Where do I go
When I’m feeling so lost and I don’t want to be found?
When I’m looking and listening for that peace in my heart.
But I know I’ll never hear that sound.
Where do I go?
Where do I go when I’m trying to laugh but all I can do I cry?
I’m trying to keep on living because I’m not ready to die.
Where do I go because the sun never seems to shine?
Can you give me my life back’ it’s not yours, it’s mine?
How do I keep going, how do I fight this fight?
I’m tired of feeling beat down, but I’m trying with all my might!
Where do I go when my head hangs so low?
Please give me an answer because I just don’t know!
Where do I go?
Does it take very long
For me to find that peace and a place where I belong?
I need you to help me, help me to take a stand.
I’m scared to do it by myself; will you please take my hand?
Where do I go? Where do I go? Where do I go?
Do you know?

90, If Raindrops Were Tears © Joanna Fuchs

If raindrops were tears
And it rained every day,
The rain couldn’t wash
My heartache away.

You’re still my ideal;
My love never dies,
But it cuts to the bone—
What I see in your eyes.

You want me to stop;
You want to be friends,
But you’ll be my true love
Until breath and life ends.

When all we hear are the empty promises and lies
that leave behind broken hearts and shattered lives,
when trust is gone and hope is lost,
what are we fighting for and who really pays the cost?
When you tell us you’re sorry but you do it again,
why do we believe you, why do we keep giving in?
When we finally realize we made a mistake,
it’s too late, we’ve sealed our fate.

91, Pain, Pain Go Away © Kari Johnston

Pain, pain go away!
Please do not come back another day.
Tears falling down my face.
Oh, how I wish for his warm embrace.
Wonder if he cares about me.
Wonder if this is supposed to be.
How can he stand there and break my heart?
How did we allow us to grow so far apart?
My dreams of us being happy is not going to come true.
All I am feeling is down and blue.
Pain, pain go away.
Bring me back to another day
where he loved me and
we thought we were meant to be.
I will not stop loving you; that much is true,
but I will be stronger in time
and not feel so blue.
You will always be in my heart,
even when we are apart.
One day I will have that warm embrace,
and tears will stop flowing down my face.
Pain, pain go away.
Leave me alone and do not stay.

92, I Don’t Sleep Because Of You © Carlie

I don’t go to sleep at night
because you haunt my dreams,
and waking up to find you’re not here
is harder than it seems.
See, I’d rather stay awake at night
because one thing I know is true,
that without my dreams of us,
I’ll never be with you.
So I don’t close my eyes at night,
and I don’t go to sleep,
because if I do,
I’d have to admit defeat.
So why don’t you try living
where you can’t face your dreams,
where every minute gets harder?
well, that’s the way it feels,
and it’s not that I can’t sleep,
because that I can do,
but if I close my eyes at night
then I am with you,
and you may think that’s what I want.
And to point you would be true,
but the reason I don’t sleep at night
is all down to you.
I’d happily dream about you all day long
Because in my dreams you care.
It’s the waking up without you
That I cannot bear.

93, Look Me In The Eyes © Jenny

Look me in the eyes
And tell me what you see.
My hopes and dreams are shattered.
Is there no future for you and me?
I love you more than I ever thought I could.
Someday I thought we would find happiness,
Like every couple should.

Look me in the eyes.
For once tell me the truth.
Did you ever love me?
Please don’t make any excuse.

Look me in the eyes.
Can’t you see my pain?
My heart is breaking;
I have no one else to blame.

Look me in the eyes.
Can’t you see my fear?
If I’m losing you,
God take me away from here.

Look me in the eyes.
You’ll see how much I care.
The tears roll slowly down
Then vanish in thin air.

Look me in the eyes.
Can’t you see my hurt?
If not when I’m awake,
Then do it while I sleep.

Look me in the eyes
At least once before I die.
You will see the memories
That we shared through our
children. So…

Look them in the eyes,
Let them know you care.
Let them know you love them
And that you will always be there.

Look them in the eyes.
Please don’t wait until it’s too late.
Look them in the eyes,
Only speak the truth.
Lies can hurt forever
Some hearts get too torn to mend.

Look them in the eyes.
They will always need a friend.
Look them in the eyes,
Never let it end.
Then do it while I sleep.

94, How Can I Forget? © Jason

That very first day that we met,
It’s a feeling I’ll never forget.
All the experiences that we’ve shared,
I knew right away that you were rare.

You see, it’s hard to find someone like you,
Usually, they’re too good to be true.
Though I should’ve entered with more ration,
With you I felt so much passion.

I wish those things had never happened.
It feels as though my love’s been abandoned.
All I wanted was to make you happy,
So why is it that I have to feel so crappy?

I want nothing more than for us to move on,
But it’s so hard now that the trust is gone.
I want to get past this, I really do…
What can I do to make you be true?

My love for you is like an undying flame.
And I once wished for our love to remain.
Do you remember that day, the day that it snowed?
It’s the day that I wished for our love to grow.

You hurt me that night; you need to know that you did.
And I need you to know that I can forgive.
But I’m really struggling with trying to forget,
Because I still feel the same as that first day we met.

95, Hoping © Tara Ong

I write this poem for you to read,
with heartache that will forever bleed.
I wish things were so different.
Sadly, this is what you’ve made of me.
I sit here alone day by day,
realizing my life is better off this way.
I admit I still hurt from all your lies,
yet you’ll never hear my cries.
You once made my world stand tall and proud.
Now what’s left has crumbled down.
Something good has come of this,
One more chance to find true happiness.
I guess this is goodbye, and so it shall be,
wishing for your love was foolish of me.
I will move on, which was too easy for you.
I wrote this poem hoping you’d feel heartache too.

96, You Lied, But I Still Cared © Brianna Denise Mcentee

You always said you loved me.
You always said you cared,
that you would always be with me,
that you would always be there.

You told me that you are here for me
through all the pain I feel.
You told me that you are with me
till your very last meal.

But you were never there
through all those endless nights.
You could never stop the crying
after all those fights.

My heart tore,
and you just walked away.
My happiness went up in smoke.
Everything looked gray.

Now after all that’s happened,
all the lies you told,
how could you lie again?
How could you be so bold?

You say it again.
You are here for me
if I’m here for you back.
Sure, I’ll be there,
and I’ll care.
You know that that’s a fact.

But will you be here
for me
till the very end?

Don’t lie again.
You are not my friend.
My heart you could never mend.

I gave you trust;
You told me lies.
I gave you hope;
I can see it in your eyes.

Please don’t lie.
We both know
you could never be there
to wipe my tears
or vanish my fears.
You could never care.

97, Forget Forgiving! © Erica Mclean

You say it doesn’t matter.
It’s all in the past.
You never see my pain.
It’s behind a mask.
You say to forgive and forget.
I’m going to make the day you met me
A day you’ll regret.

Get out of my mind.
Get out of my sight.
Stop begging. Don’t say please.
You’re not the best.
You’re like all the rest.

I don’t want a memory,
All you did was lie and cheat.
Memories get in my way.
I wish someone could ease the pain.
It’s time to let go and forget everything.
You said you loved me; I doubt it was true.
All I want to do is forget you!

Get out of my mind.
Get out of my sight.
Stop begging. Don’t say please.
You’re not the best.
You’re like all the rest.

You want me to forgive and forget.
I want to forgive you, but I’d rather forget you…

Forget forgiving.
Why did I love you in the first place?
Forget forgiving.
Get out of my face.
Forget forgiving.
It’s not worth the pain.

98, You’ll Find Someone Else © TinyDancer

Age of six
He loved her so
And everyday
He’d let her know

“I love you Grace”
He’d say each day
She’d just laugh
And run away

Till one day
She turned around
And sat with him
On the playground

“I’m sorry Chris
I don’t love you
You’ll find someone else
Who loves you too”

Highschool came
They met again
They laughed about
The things back then

They began to date
And fell in love
He got the girl
That he’d dreamed of

But when college came
Everything changed
They were far apart
With lives rearranged

“We’ll be fine Grace”
But she had doubt
She turned and said
“It won’t work out”

“I’m sorry Chris
I can’t love you
You’ll find someone else
Who loves you too”

In their twenties
They met again
They laughed about
The things back then

He took her hand
They began to dance
Remembering
Their old romance

Two years later
She became his wife
They’d be together
All of their life

They went on a drive
When it was no longer light
They drove down the roads
Of the starry night

The music came on
She started to sing
He whispered, “Grace
You’re my everything”

But then suddenly
In one big flash
Headlights shone
As their car crashed

He saw her laying
Down on the ground
He felt his tears
Start rolling down

“Grace…” he cried
She took his hand
“I have to leave…
Please understand”

“I love you so much
It’s always been true
But you’ll find someone else
And you’ll love again too”

“No,” he cried
“It’s always been you
I don’t want someone else
I only want you”

And there on that street
Is where he cried
Hugging his love
As she slowly died

99, You Lied © Amber Bentz

You told me that you would never leave me.
You lied.
You told me you would love me forever and never let me go.
You lied.
You told me we were gonna get married and live happily ever after like in a fairy tale.
You lied.
You told me that no one could ever replace me.
You lied.
You told me that she meant nothing to you.
You lied.
You told me you could never love her as much as you loved me.
You lied.
You told me that I was your one and only.
You lied.
You told me that one day we were gonna have a family of our own.
You lied.
You told me that you would forgive me and forget about everything I did wrong.
You lied.
You told me you would never keep secrets from me.
You lied.
You told me you would never lie to me.
YOU LIED.

100, Empty © Vincent

Feeling down, alone, and empty inside,
Decisions to make but can’t decide.
Hurt from pain of a broken heart.
Days go on as if they are dark.
Looking for happiness, the light to return.
My soul feels empty, deceptive, a burn.

101, The Mind Is Sad © Puranjay Das

Childhood careless joy escapes with love
Basket basket embarrassment stands on the field if life.

Can’t go back in time to the past
Memories are built to feel stupid.

Civilization is like an invisible monster
Feelings, thoughts swallow everything.

Childhood companions were colorful fantasies
Everyone owed love and affection.

The rain of unfamiliar love falls
Last that time, the mind is sad.

102, Our Love Died When The Music Stopped © William Thomas Fearby

We were so in love but now it’s gone away
We shared our life together every single day
I thought the love we shared would never die
Now we are drifting apart all I do is cry

We used to sit for hours talking every day
But suddenly the love we shared went away
We used to make sweet music together
But now that has disappeared forever

I know that you care for me
just as I care for you
But now the music has finally died
I don’t know what to do

We see each other once a week
But we hardly ever speak
We just nod and say hello
Our love has lost its glow

Our life is like a sad sad song
Everything we do seems so wrong
I guess it’s time we both moved on
But I can’t face life now you are gone

103, Sad Love © Smasher

Love has been so unfair
Is it because am fair
It has riped off all my hair
It has consumed all my fare

I have felt great pain
All my effort has been in vain
Am I even worst than Cain
Or maybe I deserve a cane

Love can be so depressing
Especially when you are so pressing
It can be willfully challenging
That u give up on winning

I know my heart cant be restored
But can it at least be redeemed
Can all these angony be removed?
Can these nightmare at least be dismissed

I know am not the best
That’s why I have been putting all my best
I haven’t even taken a rest
Can’t i at least get the best

I just wish that my gloomy face will one day smile
Cos I know that Almighty can never lie
Though I might be in a mile
I just hope it takes a while

104, Tears I Have Cried © William Thomas Fearby

It’s three am in the morning
And I’m tossing and turning in my bed
I can’t seem to keep my eyes closed
Too much going on inside my head

The radio is playing broken love songs
Bringing tears to my sore eyes
It’s bringing back sad memories
Of our final goodbyes

I wish I had told you that I loved you
But I guess I thought you knew
How could I have been so mistaken
I will never get over losing you

It will take forever to mend this heart of mine
I would do anything to win back your heart
I know my life will cease to exist
Now we are so far apart

I would move a mountain
To have you here by my side
I would stand in the middle of the ocean
For your love I would turn back the tide

To live without you I know I wouldn’t cope
You are the only one that fills me with hope
So give me a second chance I promise I will try
Don’t leave me to drown in the tears that I cry

It’s seven thirty in the morning I welcome in the sun
Another lonely day without you has finally begun
Another night without sleep feeling like I died
Cold and soaking wet from all the tears I have cried

105, Don’t You Love Me? © Hazel Lepoetic

My love,
why did you leave me sad?
why is my heart broke?
why this ugly punishment?
if my love you always wanted
how did you change your mind?
how did you say to me goodbye?
for me it is a torment
that kills me slowly
and makes me cry
or is your heart
no longer mine?
or you love someone else?
and now you never mind
remember all the times
that we walked holding hands
and we played like teens
and our relationship
was so fine
when we would sing
under the rain
When we danced everywhere
now I try to understand
that your love, starts to fade!
please my love,
think of what you do!
or I will kill myself for you!

106, Reason and Love © James Falen

Young Daphnis, chasing Chloë, cried:
“My beauty, wait! Don’t run away!
Just say: I love you – please don’t hide;
I swear by Venus, I won’t stay!”
“Keep silent!” Reason coldly said.
“Now say: ‘I like you’!” Eros pled.

“I like you!” sang the maiden sweet,
and love set both their hearts ablaze,
and Daphnis fell before her feet,
and Chloë dropped her flaming gaze.
“Oh flee! Oh flee!” cold Reason cried,
while crafty Eros “Stay!” replied.

She stayed. And, trembling with his love,
the happy shepherd made his plea:
“Oh look,” he said, “that downy dove
has kissed his mate beneath the tree!”
“Oh flee!” cried Reason once again;
“They’ll teach you how!” said Eros then.

And then a smile so tender spilled
across the blushing maiden’s lips,
and as her eyes with languor filled,
within her lover’s arms she slipped.
“Be happy!” Eros softly said.
And Reason’s words? Oh, Reason fled

107, The Tear © Roger Clarke

Last night behind a jug of stout
I sat with a hussar;
and, grimly mute, I stared along
the road, away off far.

My comrade asked: “Why, tell me, does
the highway hold your gaze?
You’ve yet to see your mates march off
along it, God be praised!”

Dejectedly I hung my head
and whispered in reply:
“Friend, she’s deserted me!…”, and then
fell silent with a sigh.

A tear rolled glistening from my eye
and dropped into the stout.
“What, cry about a girl, young lad!
Oh shame!” my friend cried out.

“Leave off, hussar!… My heart – it aches!
No pain’s touched you, that’s clear.
A single tear’s enough, alas!
to spoil a jug of beer!”
