heartbreak

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

Heart Stain
There is something so familiar within This paper and pen It takes this mind places Only this soul has been It must hold some sort of magic

Missing You
I sit here in a dark filled room with tear soaked eyes, thinking of the day you left us. Are you still here? I feel your presence all the time, chills running down my arm. I miss you, but I know you are in a better place.

Heartbroken, I Suppose
It's been almost a year 11 months Since you shattered me into pieces And I can't explain it But every time I hear your name

Frienemy
When the day is done. You only have to wear your own skin. The silence after the crowd leaves. A silent room. Alone with only your thoughts.

Color Drip
Some day’s I let my heart win, Let those older colors drip their way in, The wound is precise, in the way it reopens, The same familiar burns reappear like old friends,

There Is No Love
I once thought you were my everything I once thought you were my one true love I once thought you were my all But I guess that's where I got it all wrong

Falling for You
He extends his arms towards me, an inviting gesture I enter the warmth that causes my every thought to fade It feels like the ground disintegrates beneath my feet

She
She surrounds herself with toxic stags and material loves As if this existence, her essence Is validated through constant reassurance of her worth.

Gone Before Goodbye
Has it really been that long, Two and half years flew by, It's just like yesterday I got the text "I love you -Mama Rhonda,"

And Then Some
I loved him fiercely, with every fiber of my being. He was my night and day, the electricity lighting up my dark skies. I loved him through every tear that fell, every smile that broke, every promise that evaporated quietly. Every love song was about him, every stolen moment will forever live inside of me. He is a missing puzzle piece, discarded somewhere underneath the couch, hiding. Without him something in me is incomplete. To say he changed me is such an injustice to his memory. Such a trivial word to describe his love. Because every skin cell on my body has been altered to feel more. To love more, to be more. He is my forever even though he is mine no more, and has never really been mine.

Eulogy for Yesterday
This poem is not about you. It is not about the way the sunshine sparkles in your eyes. It is not about the velvety way you say things. It is absolutely not about the way it feels to have your hair curl around my finger as we lay beneath the stars. This poem is not a reflection of how you've changed my life completely, nor is it a constellation of confusing memories we've shared. It is not a poem of the way you stare. It is not a hopeful wish for our own fleeting story to continue. It is not a dark memory of your feeble attempts to scare me away, hidden somewhere in the back of my mind. This is not me yearning for our something to unbreak.
