heartbreak

They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.

You're a witch. I'm a forest fairy You're in a costume I'm binding my wings under my skin. *** I was walking away From you

Things We Lost In The Fire
I wish we didn't have to over complicate love, I wish us as humans didn't have a problem with trust Because love isn't the same love I reckoned at fifteen

The Fulfillment of Absence
I miss you. I will Always miss you. And I am okay with that; I have learnt that In order to feel love—even Though we never called it that—

It's okay. No, really. It's okay, take it. Take what's left of my heart because it was bound to break anyway. I knew that, from the moment I answered your call. My heart grew so large, it wedged itself deep in my esophagus. I was either too shocked, too excited or too far in disbelief to realize that I'd possibly stopped breathing. All to hear your voice again. So, no, I'm good. You can take all of what's left of me now because, I knew better. I saw it coming from a mile away. Still, I walked right out into the middle of rush hour traffic that is you and got completely demolished by a reckless driver called Love. So, yeah. Take whatever is left. I'm cool. Totally. Code Blue. Flat Line. I'm good as gone. Ghost. Just a figment of your imagination, blowing in the wind.

Peeling Back the Layers
Peeling back the layers of my soul. So much I have held onto for years. I am ripping the scab off my skin. Letting new air in.

My Empty Womb
Tears escape when no one is looking My heart breaks when no one else cares 1 baby, 2 babies, 3 babies now gone But I remember

Morning Thoughts💭💀
Nights like these makes my mind wander to places I’d rather not be. In a dark little corner that I don’t want to see. It’s saying it’s okay and comforting me in the darkness. Not trying to give in, still trying to fight this.

Love.
Love. This word. Everyone wants it. One of the shortest words, most simple words, but means the absolute world to everyone on this god-dammed, sad planet. I thought he cared, I thought he “loved” me. Here’s the tragic poem I wrote, I told you it was real. Are you sure you’re ready for this?

One Tear
I am taken by the image of her eternal joy, As I look deeper, I see her perilous fears, I see her never-ending love and her might,

Wedding Invite
Yes I got your wedding invitation Yes I saw the RSVP A kind way of asking me if I had moved on enough to watch you As you 'gathered here today in holy matrimony'

Reminiscence
The wind brushes the ocean waves, the water cold, unlike the warmth of steps once trodden. Sea birds calling across the surf, evoking thoughts

Put the puzzle pieces together•~ The scars you made. Were all by them. Every second as the blood drips. You feel the pain.
