Best Breakups Poems

A hole in my heart
There is no death with this pain
Life with no living
The stomach cramps with sorrow
Hope lost with only darkness

See, someone can just remove my heart…
Or take it
I’ll f-ckin donate it if that’s all it takes to escape it.
I’d rather live in this world with hatred
Than to live my life steady chasing.
You say were better off as friends
You say you don’t regret the things...

Dark crown positions an imminent moon,
while the car benign a simple swan tune,
by a male world-renowned steady croon,
quaffs from a sweetheart, abrupt swoon,
as twain souls dissolution, way too soon,
while a solo spirit on, strangely immune,
limits another whose heart is now hewn,
of an unsalted berry to...

In current times, breaking up is often referred to as a slow-motion breakup, or as the new generation might say, "pulling back." The lyrics of songs reflect the sentiment that breaking up is challenging, though it is approached differently today.

Whenever I approached two to three...

All that we have can be lost 
But, its value cannot be taken away
You have covered your tuition cost
Now don’t let the knowledge decay

Brother, I know you’re a polluted ocean blue
But I cannot help but be happy for you 
The boat you float so comfortably...

Breakups and shake-ups
All that matters is that you wake up and
Understand that everything is for a season!
Pushing yourself beyond the borders of time 
Will give you a reason to appreciate life and
Understand the orientation of purpose!

The love you give will not always be the love...

I loved you
I lusted you
I needed you
I trusted you
I imagined you
I imagined you to a fault
I imagined you at the expense of your reality
I lived in duality
Love and lust
Lust and love
red flags ignored
seeking connection when lonely and bored
A person who is to many people an...

I don’t know, I don’t care,
if you’re going to the party
or you won’t be there

I don’t give you a thought
you’re not on my mind
and if I ever think of you
I’m not very kind

Now that you’re gone
I’m feeling better
Now that you’re gone
I’ll feel that way forever

I...

It makes me sick every time I think about how long I put up with you
seven whole months i wasted everyday ignoring my heart slowy breaking 
you ripped my heart out and you cant afford to replace it 

I hate it how you still cross...

Haven’t been able to move from this bed
Only just turned on my room light at 6 p.m.
All these tears pulled out by this sinking feeling
I feel like I know you, but do I really?
Moved your present from last month into my closet
Back when I thought...

In our garden, the space of shared delight
Are fruits of our many wonders created
Through smiles and passion, the site
Of our beings bonded and sated.

Our red roses blossom in magical splendour,
Foliage of the many plants wave in glee
To a tune we embrace, our spirits soar
Under rays...

Was I maudlin over our breakup? For a minute.

If I think of you now, it’s like a slideshow of unflattering images.

At the time, my breakup buddies reminded me you were a bad
choice - like a brand of deodorant that gave me a rash or fashionable...

What happens when someone falls out of love?

Is there a single, frozen in amber, sanctimonious moment when
you decide you’re too good for whomever - the falling-out moment
- where imperfections are revealed like a magic trick?

“Huh,” you find yourself saying, “Weren’t you cuter, half-an-hour ago?

Or is...

Ex lovebirds of 
the tamest passion can turn 
so predatory.

Passive aggressive
schoolboys who mock whistle at
ex-girlfriends for spite.

Who scatter book bag
contents in mock accidents
for supposed revenge.

As witchcraft conjured
by the nonbelligerent
to silence the bully

I summon some sweet, 
musical, lascivious
words as orphic spells

In self-effacing 
defense to tame the...

Their love affair 
Was coming to an end
He'd felt the shadow 
Of it
For a while now

It started
With subtle 
Changes 
In her ways with him
Then ones so drastic
And harsh
He wondered 
If their love
Had ever even really been

She couldn't see
How her actions 
Sliced through him
Like a knife
His...
