Best Breaking Up Poems
I’m Breaking Up With You, P.D.
I’m breaking up with you, P.D.
This is the very last poem you’ll ever get from me!
So understand me, Poetry Diva, we’re seriously through!
My husband will certainly leave me if I don’t leave you.
Let me explain it like this, my lovely, lethal girlfriend,
I’m so addicted to PoetrySoup, my marriage will soon end.
I know for sure that you don’t care and you won’t cry,
‘Cause on to a better poetry lover you’ll quickly fly.
Well, Deadly Destroyer, I'll see you around - - -someday maybe -
But right now I’m breaking up with you, P.D., so this is “Hasta la Vista, Baby!”

Follow you in my mind it’s true
Concentration makes me blue
Always am I chained to regret
The loss of your beauty
An uncertain depth
I play in my mind a doll of you
Hug and squeeze like little girls do
And when I can see the unbleard world
The loss I incurred is echoed and heard
My stillness does wrath unseen
My dream a nightmare I moan and scream
My heart beats I feel in each a death
Like waking to find myself unblessed
Living the definition of obsessed
Seeking a way to revive this death
Gone, gone, gone says time
The never again has committed it’s crime
Emotion does torture the willing mind
What I do to myself is so unkind
The time has come my dear for us to part
It was not my intention to hurt your heart
Our goals and views are just to diverse
I scratch the surface but you totally immerse
So many people love you, I feel I can't compete
You'll always be the driver and I in the back seat
Abundance of comments and praise for you awaits
While I wither in the shadows your limelight creates
I promise to protect you from crazy saboteurs
Please remember my heart remains with yours

~For PD's contest~
Feels like we’ve set each other adrift
Thin hugs are no gift
Your clothes hang in our closet
Frames of smiling faces sunshine backdrop
Me talking to another shouldn’t make you shudder
Now it’s too late to recreate
Something that was once so great
It’s like trying to fix my grandmother's broken blue plate
It was priceless and now
no amount of glue could hold us together
Choking on cold leftovers of affection
Isn’t something I had reckoned
If it’s over, please tell.
So I can know if your love has reached the bottom of its well.
I didn't find her
in a mensa meeting
we never talked
about quantum physics
and i never asked her
about her IQ
of course i meet her
in an irish pub
telling the truth
she is striking pretty
blue eyes
round butt
beautiful boobs
but that's about it
one day she told me
"when it rains
it gets wet"
and the other day
"somebody has to do
something about this guy
Hitler
he is really-really
a bad ass"
at the very end
she asked me about
the cave men
"why the government
doesn't move them
to affordable housing
at the projects
and give them welfare
and mass health"
and more stupid ideas like this
every day
until i left without notice
to relocate to another universe
with creatures who talk
after they think
about stuff
and common sense...
Our love once smelled new
Blossomed with life, grew in time
Like flowers at noon
I miss you Chula,
You left me without a word
Hurricanes come fast
I once overheard
“If you bow at all, bow low.”
Our leaf flew from branch
Death would be softer
Without you I am not whole
Snow covers my heart
The skies seem so quiet and mellow
nothing unexpected due to happen
although the clouds look heavy
their breaking up nobody knows when
It comes forth with such energy
breaking up with no warning
thundering down full of force
it's effects is truly storming
Watching this effect is bewildering
as water thunders forth from the sky
it's sound crackles in your head
crashing down from on high
The rainfall pours from a cloud
runs down at speed hitting ground
causing on earth water to flood
to devastating effect all around
The thunderstorm is truly amazing
slowing God's power so full
you can do nothing but wonder
at His awesome effectual jewel
I thought we had something special, I thought I was the only one
Commenting on all my poems was when it all had begun.
Then I found out one day, that you treat everyone just the same
Praising them for their poems and not just for fame.
I didn't feel betrayed neither did I get mad
As you’re here for every one and that made me glad.
But I’m sad to say PD, that I'm breaking up with you.
As I realized everyone here needs you, as much as I do…

I'm Breaking Up With You
You captured my heart with such poetic words;
a very smooth talker, thinking I was your first.
That look in your photo says, "I've got something for you."
I get butterflies and blush like a girl still in school.
I have to break up, Linda, this is such a charade.
I got so caught up I forgot..... I'm not gay!!....

When we got married you said I was the only one
But you disappear for days and leave me with our son
Go off with your mates and leave me high and dry
I’ve since heard subtle rumours it’s not just ‘you and I’
Now you hide your mobile phone and even I can’t call
I thought our life was perfect – am I heading for a fall
I share my life with you; I believed we were in clover
If you’re cheating on me now I’m telling you ITS OVER
You are and will always be my number one
Marrying you was the greatest thing I've ever done
I refuse to become a victim of the rumour mill
Evil tongues have always gossiped and always will
All my workforce with you will completely agree
They hate my new mobile telephone policy
But that ban on their use remains in place
Even my darling if it is your wrath I must face
Work widowed you are, cheated upon you are not.
This crisis will soon be over and I'm taking you somewhere hot.
Oh my darling thank you, I was really starting to worry
I know I shouldn’t doubt you but my mind is in a flurry
Looking after the baby all day can be quite a strain
If he’s upset and crying all day it really is a drain
We really need to make sure we have some time for us
But you are always working and I hate to make a fuss
It makes me feel so guilty you need to take a break
If you leave work early then Patrick won’t be awake
I’ll be ready waiting for you with a kiss and open arms
You will find me in the bedroom I’ll surrender to your charms
You are my whole world and the centre of all I try to do
I work to provide for my family but from the start you knew
When you became my wife before God we made our vows
Though I think he'll understand we may have our tiffs and rows
But he nor you should forgive me if ever I betray
To hear you ever say those words would be too high a price to pay
So I'll see you later and believe me tonight I'll be on time
Because I've got a hot date with you, you’re forever mine.

My Dearest Linda,
Time has come for us to play a different game
You deserve better than this life,this note,me
The world isn't wrong about us,I'm what's wrong with us
No longer can I shoulder the pain that I cause you
Breaking up with you is something I never thought I'd do
For once in my life I have to do the right thing
My heart is no more than an empty vessel
I promise you will never see me again,goodbye love

at the age of 2, i'm breaking up with you because you're a girl and you've got a disease [ew, cooties!]
at the age of 12, i'm giving you hell because i found out you're nothing but just a tease
at 22, i'm breaking up with you because i'm all grown up and got a new lease on life
at 32, i'm breaking up with you because i'm blaming you for all my troubles and strife
at 42, i'm breaking up with you because someone is going through their midlife crisis
at 52, i'm breaking up with you because your loins no longer blessed by lady isis
at 62, i'm breaking up with you because i've got the rest of my life to do what i want to do
at 72, i'm breaking up with you because i'm past my prime and wasted my golden years on you
at 82, i'm breaking up with you because you failed to save me your last dance
at the age of 92, i'm breaking up with you because death doesn't give a second chance
What can I tell you
That you don't already know?
That I know how rain looks
When I'm standing on my head?
That the clouds on Friday
resembled ice cream?
That is takes approximately one minute and thirty-two seconds to swim the
border of the town pool?
Or I forgot my locker combination and cried?
Or that I ran out of shampoo from washing my hair three times a day?
Maybe you'd care to know that I'm now an expert at crosswords, and I've learned
how to spell your name in four different languages?
What can I tell you that would make you see?
That breaking up really hurt me?
Deny it all you want to
Pretend you're happy being free
But when your mind begins to wander
You're gonna think of me
Oh you may find another
Thinner, pretty face
But she'll never measure up to me
I could never be replaced
I'll consume your every thought
I'll run within your veins
Your heart will stop
Be short of breath
When you hear my name
Your mouth and skin will ache for me
In the darkness there alone
You'll think of how I teased your lips
Let my fingers roam
You'll miss the way I smiled at you
Pushed the tendrils from your face
My eyes lit up when I looked at you
Those things you can't erase
But I wont beg to hold you here
Your decision is your own
Explore some other options
Need some time alone
So go then I release you
Unchained you, set you free
But when you miss what you once had
You're gonna think of me.
For the smiles you brought, I am grateful,
The times we shared, I will never forget.
But the lies you spoke will haunt me,
And your cheating you should forever regret.
Unlike you, I know when time is up,
When to let go instead of lying.
So now it is time to bid you adieu,
For I am tired of trying.
