love lost
Learn more about other poetry terms
I pull the curtains close
No crack of light
to penetrate the dark
of endless night
Love's a light you say
as you stroke my face
But I in darkness stay
in your embrace
The time came
when we no longer smiled
as we once did at Table 26.
Nor as we laughed
when pouring rain pounced on our walk
so we melted a kiss against a tree.
Had to pick up the piecesTo mend a broken heartSo I put myself out thereMade a brand new startDownloaded the appFilled out my bioThen selected "submit"Said "here we go...".(Chorus)
Hate to let you goOur life till now has beenhigh drama in a showWe both have given up ontrying to make things right,all we do is fight,stuck in a hopeless plight.I wish you wouldn’t go
I give you love so free and easy, no strings attached, no price to pay. Love which is not returned, love which is cast aside, abandoned without cause, I still have love to give.
I love you…
But things may never be
Barely see you now
You still mean so much to me
My love is unconditional
Wish I could propose to you
Make our love official
Etched in stone
It started out
At the beginning of school
Noticed you before
And I knew you were cool
Had to find out
Couldn’t pass up a jewel
Didn’t feel lust
Like the regular fool
Everyone said
I deliberate if my true mate dwindled away,withered one season due to lack of water and wilted in bright torrid midsummer day. If the chosen soul for me didn’t make it or, faded in to the world of darkened grey.
You hold my hands
Wrap the gauze around my bruised knuckles,
Whisper me pieces of words
For my mind to create
Into stained-glass portraits.
my thousand pound heart
lie dormant in my chest
feeble now from the effort
bumbling softly through my sweater
I don’t notice the warmth anymore
cold wind stings my cheeks red
You cleaved me open
And left my sun-bleached ribs
Scattered
Across the shores of our youth.
There, by the sea,
I gathered sea glass with which to build my home –
How many hearts have to break?
How many steps do I gotta take?
How many breaths, oh lord forsake?
Until I come home to meet my maker?
You’ve watched me struggle and watched me drown.
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.
i don't believe in love anymore
the rain flys upward
my mind falls through the floor
all the lights are off
my heart is poisoned and sore
i am running away
all the way through the door
Dear love,
Your embrace engulfed me like the ocean,
For this love, I thought you had devotion.
You had my heart in your hands,
But made me feel so small,
As if I was a mere grain of sand.
The sound of my neck cracking makes me cringe, for a second I forgot what pain is, I forget how love feels, for a second I ignore my brain and allow my heart to do my thinking, the sound of my yawn makes me mute, you cannot talk with a mouth stret
In this dark and open public space,
My eyes meet the gaze of a warm, but ghostly face.
I felt alone until the face appeared across the way,
My loneliness would escape me and I could not look away.
I am made of scattered pieces
Each shred of my soul is owned by someone else
Only if you put them all together
Would you truly know me
Some pieces are given freely
Others were accidents
Please don't dip your Chicken Nuggets in Ketchup
Just seeing it makes me red.
Nothing against your personal eating habits.
Just if you’re around me
Please don't dump your Chicken Nuggets in Ketchup.
Can I just hold you to one moment.
Be frozen in 2016 with you.
Believe that only her and me are the same.
Imagine the stars were aligned just for us in this very moment in time.
I'm sorry
You cared so much
And I thought I did too
Now I miss your sweet touch
Though I was the one who left you
You weren't perfect
But nor am I
The biggest lie I ever told
Was not so much a destruction of truth
But a curtain
Thrown up hastily to hide
The elephant
Because when you said
Just when I'd lost my "long-term", an "old-time" wants to come into my life while my "short-term" doesn't have a clue that he could turn into a "long-term".
I never asked you for the world.
Didn't need you to give me anything but your love...
But apparently,
I was asking for too much.
They are imbued in doubt
and therefore can never be certain
Their hearts long in the past
and therefore cannot embrace the present
Their fears are caged inside
and therefore will never be free
I wish you called me baby like her.
But as soon as your lips curved,
The barely audible sound waves pierced the air,
I wish you hadn’t.
It’s just not the same and every time you do
I lost my poetryThe words on the paperDon’t come until laterCause I’m speechless
I reach into the darknessLooking for lettersA, B, C, D, E, I, O, UBut they never come together
i know how you feel
i've been there
i know how you feel
lost jaded and scared
i know how you feel
heart broken battered and bruised
i know how you feel
cheated dejected and used
I thought I had it all figured out
I thought I knew
how to stop the walls
from falling in again.
But they fell
and I'm begging of you please
to come save me again.
Please excuse me for a moment,
because I have to say something.
I'm about full to burst,
but I don't want to say it.
I know I have to, though.
We have a year, almost exactly,
that's all and you'll be here
I seem cursed to love what I can't ever haveBut I could have had, and that's the rubI ran away when it looked like loveAnd I see my folly when I look back
You can close your heart from the one that loves you with your lies.
You don't notice what I can't verbalize.
I tell you through my eyes the way I looked at you before,
Our faces were close but my words were kept away.
The look in her eyes as her heart shattered, almost unbearable to see. Tears slowly trickled down her ghostly white cheeks, as if her whole life was stripped away in seconds.
I find myself here again going round and round
wandering endlessly between your fingertips
aimlessly stumbling between your chest
feeling the rise and fall of your breath
engrossed in the rhythm of your heart
I scramble alone in this vast place
where streams seem to run on forever
i am alone and oh so lonely
it seems i am the only one in this vast place
on the other side of the streams
