break up
Learn more about other poetry terms
To the girl that broke my heart
by letting our friendship die
I will never block your number
Or forget the way your cry
Contempt of your heart,
Oh! How it hurt me.
It is credible, you are gone,
How i could cross examine you, if you were here.
No matter how many times I tell myself not to, I can't stop myself from watching it,
And everytime I do, I am always left feeling like my heart took a hit.
I wrote a poem once about how you need to break
To truly shatter if you ever want to learn to put yourself back together again
Because no mosaic is built without first becoming broken pieces
I'M HERE
Your eyes
your lips
fill my thoughts today....
We talk
We sway
Don’t look away....
I’m here
And there are no lies
A thousand miles is pretty rough,
Our relationship has turned really tough,
This distance is really there,
I'm not even sure you care,
Now our relationship is really tight,
i still remember
the feeling of your hand
holding onto mine
our fingers intertwined
i miss our silliness
as we tickled each other and laughed together
or when you put you arm around me
Been thinking too much about you
And its filling me with dread
My soul is screaming for its mate
Cant silence the noise in my head
You cut me deep once before
Im still trying to stop the bleeding
You Matter.
At times like these, when it’s night, I’m tired but I want to get up. I have no drive but I’ll get up and drive.
You did it, you really left
I guess I asked for this
I just didnt think it would be this way
My heart was ripped out today
You're gone for good
Gone too soon
I never had a chance to tell you
if you love me let me go
your words: an axe to my throat
blood is fucking everywhere
you ripped it out of me
what happened to forever
it’s easy to be lonely
in the lights of this city
wondering why you can never look me in the eyes
when you tell me that im pretty
the white of my body
more snow than skin
ice cold to the touch
i know you think i’ll thaw
this ice age has no end
my fire stopped burning
you decided i needed open heart surgery
so you found the dullest blade you could
and began to rub it against my chest
until the skin finally began to tear
no matter how much bleach i use
the blood stains won’t go away
i’m scrubbing and scrubbing the floorboards
the wood turned cherry
I’m ripping my brain out
Piece by piece
Cutting it into little squares
I’ll serve you our memories
On a silver fucking tray
I’ll feed them to you,
i’m all alone in this glass house
Swallowing jack under a pink sky
there’s blood on the driveway
keeping a knife in the pocket of my jeans
i’m all alone in this glass house
Swallowing jack under a pink sky
there’s blood on the driveway
keeping a knife in the pocket of my jeans
dressed in blue
I feel golden
dancing with you
my heart holden
high heeled shoes
I feel beautiful
dancing with you
moments so meaningful
posed together
just in time for fall
you lose your green tint
left with no leaves at all
questioning where your life went
Got me singin' on lost love and revelry
I can feel you pullin' on my heart strings
Your touch got me in reverie
Call me lover boy
Call me just to feel
What have I done?
He is restless without my touch.
He needs constant reassurance.
Is there no faith that I can give him?
I have done no wrong.
No reason t thing of another.
Stress eats me whole.
strong, independent, full of life
finally finding love you thought would be right.
falling fast deeper and deeper in love
quickly becomes something you'd never dream of.
We started off strong,
Pure and true,
But now you’re leaving me,
Feeling small and blue.
This can’t be real,
And it was after you I realized why the lord made angels in heaven far away from humans.
I fell to my knees aching to touch those fluttering wings on your back
Heartbreak is my greatest muse. When all I can do is think about you, why shouldn’t I write it all down? It’s my thoughts and my feelings too. I still see in my dreams almost every night. You live in my heart but not in my life.
I fell in love at a bus stop
I fell in love and came out on top
I fell for him and it was my fault
I fell in love at a bus stop
Across the rows
I crossed alone
More than hope
If I could ask for one more dayThat I could be yoursI’d bask in moments, the love, the security.the purity in our intentionsBefore we refused to speak what was unintentionally mentionedThe lies you’d cry
The dagger in my heart,
It twists,
Alas, My love for you has only hurt me.
I should have known better
Than To fall in love with
Nothing less than a prince
Who saw himself as little more than a pig.
If I were to have just one wish,
I'd wish for just one careful kiss
Upon my lips-chapped though they be,
Oh, Sorrow! That you can't love me.
Paint and symphonies
Never battling
We already know who’s winning
I shouldn't put one against the other
But my emotions are flying
A break up is something couples dread the most.
It is something couples avoid or else they'll feel lost.
Our significant other is the one that makes us whole.
I look at the stars late at night
The wind that blows against my face is very cold
I did whatever I could to make you shine bright
When you where lonely I was always there for you to hold
Dear Red,
I see the madness in your eyes,
The insanity, the love.
It’s a not matter of the chicken or the egg,
But what came first?
I do not hate you.
I used to think so, in the darkest hours
Of the night, with salt in my mouth
And wet streaks on my cheeks
But now, removed
I think only of the times we shared
Laughs and kisses
Empty Pages
Writer’s block is
like thinking you’ve met a man
you could give your all to
at the stage of his life when his ego is inflated like the dollar
Buy into the aestheticI wouldn't spare you a dime
I am my own butcher
of my edifice
Not a single truth
nor a single lie
Could slow the ebbs in current
Could stop the rising tide
(Verse 1)
Just let me say I’m only a man
I hope that you would’ve understand
And see all the love that I had
So high up but I’m about to crash and land
Worse come down since my acid trip
We got apples and oranges and all of the greens
We got salmon and soup pea and vitamin C.
From farmer's markets, to Whole Foods, to your mom and pop shops,
Together we have made our health a priority, but this has to stop.
Because I love you, I decided to stay
I listened to every possible excuse that you had to say
Because I love you, I clung on until the very end
I can feel that it's going to rain
Yet I don't reach for an umbrella
It's the calm before the storm that I really love
Yet our storm has already happened
And now it's the after affects that haunt me
There was an eclipse this morning.
I watched it. All I could think about
was how you plunged me into such a
terrifying and dark place.
You look like an angel,
but you lash out like a solar flare.
Okay,
The big kid monkey bars.
Today was the day.
You pull yourself up until you're eye level with a row of metal bars and
You jump,
one bar,
left hand,
next bar,
We were kids turning pages,
in a couple year long love story
and it ended pages ripped,
i'm sorry.
My starry eyes didn't last, dear diary,
I kept them waiting, then left them
We were supposed to bike through Central Park and ride through the trees.We were supposed to take a trip to the shore and sleep on the beach.We were supposed to plant your garden and protect it from the bees.We were supposed to cuddle all night in
you feel burned again and you can't breathe again,
feet in mud again, stuck can't see again,
but my minds free again, my veins they bleed again,
my heart it beats again, these dreams will see again,
you build with your words , you make sky scrapers from your sentences and cathedrals with stanzas ,
I wake this morning
to my surprise
someone is there
the World in his eyes
Am I dreaming?
Thoughts rationalize
I fell asleep here
Brain replies
Who is this one
I taught you how to love me and instead you took the information to use it for herThat's all I was for youA source on how to become better for someone elseIm a used book that got put back on the shelfEverything I ever showed you on how to love was
He made her feel so alive She yearned for that feeling of joyOnly he gave that to herHer eyes lit up like the night sky at the very sight of himHer heart came out of her chest with every word he spoke and lyric he sangShe felt so alive with him Be
Gotta admit, you did a number on me
And I guess I should’ve seen it coming this time
But I’ve recalled how to live without you
So rest assured, I’m doing just fine
I wish hindsight came before foresight
I anticipate one day,
Someone might understand.
That wishes I made,
Would be your's to take.
The more I think,
the more I care.
When you went away,
I dreamt of the sun drenched mornings we spent together,
and I thought of the smell of the sea in your wet hair and the glint of sand on your skin as I watched you drive us home,
I guess it became too much for you, how I loved you out loud and unashamedly. I couldn't be yours, no one ever truly belongs to one person. A connection this fitting, a kiss this deep, couldn't be the real thing.
You were like an onion
Hard but easy to peel
Wondering how far I should stand away from you before cutting you
Before you start to make me cry
Again
Knowing you make me cry everytime
if you ever miss me
and hesitate if you should call
to tell me or not...
just whisper it to the wind
and let it carry your words on...
maybe i'll be able to feel the coldness of your heart then
From the moment you said hi I knew I was hooked
By the way you laughed, your eyes, and your love for books
2,244 miles to see that northern smile
I'd stay up at night wondering if it would be worth my while
When you broke up with me and you said you needed space i was fine with it
Because i thought you meant it in a normal way
Rather than applying for a job at NASA.
I hold her hand as her world liquifies through her eyes,
I listen as she narrates the lies,
Recreates their lows and highs. How time flies,
Only yesterday he said, "Surprise"
Proposing to her, that was so wise.
I remember last winter,
You said it'd be alright.
I looked in your eyes for warmer weather,
But then the fire turned to ice.
What we once had, it was burning,
But now, the flame has gone away.
Burning bridges is dangerous.
It means an ultimatum,
A point of no return.
Once a bridge is burned,
You can never cross again.
Build a new bridge in its place, yes,
But that first bridge is gone forever.
Walking down the hall
No butterflies
Nothing at all.
You pass by me
I don't know what to say
It's as if you've never seen me before.

How could I be so stupid?
I thought you were more
But when I showed you the baggage I come with,
you left
Just like that.
Just friends.
Because just friends don't unpack baggage;
“Can we be friends?” he asked.
“Sure.” She lied.
(I just wanted more…)
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“I’m fine.” She lied.
(I’m dying on the inside…)
“I’m always here for you.” He said.
"Stretched across me was a spark of lightening,
One touch that tore me to pieces.
What was it,
I did,
for him to derail my mind
across these broken eyelids.
I gave it my all,
1000 memories and they’re all colored blue
and the darkest shade appeared the day I met you
I never thought much of it, never bothered me nun
Shake and bake you toke and bake
We talk until we see the rising sun
Brace yourself
Welcome help
Armor up
Enough’s enough
Hope for the best
Prepare for the worst
Those are the words
You used to calm me
Down by the river
Build a bridge
It has always struck me as odd,
the idea that “loving you” and “losing you”
are only one letter apart.
This small difference is proved
She said she's sorry that she made him ashamed
To be vulnerable and open
Since she's been living that way
It was imparted on she, so to him she did the same
She never knew that the girl that she wanted to be
Not loving you?
Why, that's too easy
Like painting in black and blue
Like counting to thirteen
Starting with one, two
My God, your steadfast love brings tears—Your plan perfection never wrong.Oh, show me how you lead my years,How broken lives express your worth.
I am slowly changing like a painting manipulated and altered by multiple artists. The artists and I grow old together. My tattered corners must add some character to me, right?
I lied for your attention.
“It’s broken”
“Sorry, ran out of ink”
“I had to shut it down because of the storm”
All of these excuses I told
Not because I hated you
But because I loved you
and I walked outside and nearly broke my neck
trying to watch the stars because
that’s where I came from they tell me
but if the galaxies are in my bones
Inhale.
Exxxxhale..
Check your mirrors.
Watch your speed.
Put your hands at 10 and 2.
Why do I keep thinking about you?
Stop.
Stop behind the white line.
Wait your turn.
It was one of those moments that I'd never forget
Excitement buzzed between everyone that night
You were a new high school graduate
We sat in your car to go to your graduation party
You ripped out my heart and threw it at my feet.
You told me I lost my mind, that’s not really fair.
You listened as it slowly thumped its last beat.
I’m falling to pieces
From these full-moon musings
I kept a journal
Stayed up all night
You promised one day
But I wanted forever
Save your sorries
“Go with your gut feeling."
I don’t feel anything
Except the heat from my brain
Coupled with the pain of thinking of him
Cause I can’t, Won’t let myself stop thinking of you
Death from lying
Always crying
My souls escaping to the sky
There is no love among this dark
Falling from grace and torn apart
Consumed by you I lost myself
Lived for your love and happiness
A B C D E F G,
I nod my head,
A flat B flat,
I stare at the ceiling,
C flat D flat,
I lie wide awake in my bed.
Though sound may fill my mind,
I pay no attention,
I lied every time I said I'd never leave
Then again so did she
But now she's happier without me
I miss you so much it hurts or maybe i miss what we use to have, I use to think the phrase "i love you to much it hurts" wasnt true, but as I can see thats the definition of how im feeling.
you say you love me
you say you care about me
but how am i supposed to belive
when you never show me
Water raced down my window paneAnd all I envisioned was the partitionStemming from the trunk of a treeIt was solemn and it was poignant
It's 3AM and I'm waiting
For my phone to die
And I'm pretending that
It's a lie that all I want right
Now is a cup of tea and
My head on your chest
Breathing in your exhales
I thought this'd hurt—knowing it's something I couldn't keep.But when I ask myself what tears are for?Lubrication— salt and enzymes to cleanseperpetually gaping woundsto our social egos.
Your eyes are like a setting sun on silk green grass flowing to the wind
I have nt slept since the last I saw of them
I long for them, I long for their master
Long for the soft cherry red lips of sweet sugar on mine
I think
he left her.
The boy,
the one with the leather jacket
I wasn't allowed to wash.
I didn't see him go
because she keeps me hidden,
in the closet,
After a game of playful looks and bashful talks
On a night of a friends birthday
He blurted out for me to be his
I, too quickly, accepted
To only find out that we were determined to block out another
Roses are red,
violets aren't blue.
You thought you had me forever,
but I fucking hate you.
Violets are purple,
roses can be red.
The next time I see you,
I'll bash in your head.
Right about now, I don't know what i'll do without him. I know he needs me, I can Hear it in his voice. Nobody else cares the way I do. Right I jest don't know what to do. I could easily be with someone else. I am' but it's not the same.
City buildings lean forward to listen,
but they cannot hear the whispered
nothings you tossed around the night
before--mi mariposa, mi pajarito, but
never simply beautiful. Taxis beep,
Let me twist the plot
and tell you of the story of the
“she loves me not”s
she picks the petals only to find
Its says “I love you” every time
but try as they might
the petals cant tell
Kiss me, shove me, break me
Turn these shades to black & blue,
Peel back this skin, make it new
Love me, hate me, infuriate me
Scream a little louder; I can't hear you,
Hell is looking into your eyes and knowing I meant nothing to you. You who I have given my whole being to. I turn quickly away as tears pour down my face in a never ending cascade of false hopes and broken dreams. Congratulations! You did it!
He closed the door in front of me and I hope I know what I’m doing
‘Cause my heart is racing as this stranger greets my eyes.
