Best Heartbreaking Poems

"U.S Attacked: Hijacked Jets Destroy Twin Towers And Hit Pentagon In Day Of Terror," The New York Times
even if it works like clockwork, it can still break.
shattered worlds petrified passerby, 
People as hungry as bears, for explanations.
What does this mean?
What is next?
Why us?

Agnes Beaudette stood in front of her fifth-grade class on the very first day of school in the fall and told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her pupils and said that she loved them all the same, that she would...

Over hundred fifty years ago, the Italian nation was
divided, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
was more prosperous than the North, peoples lived in accord;
envious eyes looked down and saw a harmonious world 
and drew a plan to steal all of the gold...
folks who worked in...

I left the convenience store with a bag of cashews,
which I munched on my walk home.
I came upon a squirrel foraging
among the birds on the ground all alone.
I tossed a cashew this squirrel's way,
and the squirrel pounced on it right away.
I tossed it another and...

Walking a tight rope without an umbrella
feet unsure of the next steps to take
heart heavy, mind uneasy, can't look down
equilibrium off kilter, yet still watching ahead
focusing on you alone, selfishness set aside
as days with you dwindle before our eyes

 
Tears must flow in our private...

A stray chocolate Weimaraner
On the left side of the road
Scooped up, yet lovingly licking a face
Whimpering in pain, yet wagging its tail
Poor thing's been struck
By a car. And it looks...bad.

My heart is breaking in a million pieces.
Why did you have to shatter it to bits?
Were you just marking your time or
Are you actually willing to call it quits?

I feel like my flesh has been ripped
From my very bones, and all the while,
You are acting...

A family of whales swam on the beach.
Tasmanians watched twenty-two soon die.
Beside the waters sperm whales found their grave.
How did they find their death, oh, gloomy day?
Some people saw four swim upon the sand.
Few lives were saved; those left must now be sad.
Two mammals swim...

Imagine your heart
Your heart being ripped from your chest
The pain is so great you cannot rest
Consumed by fear you never forget
Never forget when we first met
I want you to know that I will never forget you
My first true love I want to thank you
I just...

Acid, flowing rapidly
a Niagara down my cheeks
brushed away quickly.
The clock on the wall un-moving
reading four fifty- two
stopped there to keep the fall flowing
to keep me from forgetting
since forgeting would hurt more than the memories.

The clock stopped ticking, stopped ticking away,

She is silent & she plays
Mostly she has books before her face 
She rarely come to me 
& ran away as fast as she could 
I know her since her childhood 
She is my Lil girl 
& I'm an old mirror of her room

Crossroad

It's funny how this has turned out.
I use to get flustered when you're around. 
Frantic beating of my heart.
Crazy change of my mood.
Now I realise that as much as I love you, I got to let go.
You're just not worth it.
You don't want my love.
Yet...
