Best Rebound Poems
I guess I'm just the rebound
The ball bouncing off the rim
The man that you caught when you didn't get him
You got out of love and got back in
You think you have an advantage
But you're in this relationship with so much baggage
Its hard for us to get close
Because of your former attachment
Expecting me to put you back together after he left your heart in fragments
Man theres so much damage
As of right now I can't forsee a marriage
Some think another relationship can heal the pains of the former
But until you're whole again you can't go forward
What he did, what he didn't do takes you away from what I'm doing and done
Its like I'm dating two people and he is keeping us from being one
So I guess I'm just that ball bouncing off the rim
The one you're with now while still trying to get over him
He took a walk to clear his mind
Then asked her when they could be wed.
Words from her were so unkind,
He took a walk to clear his mind.
Leaving all thoughts of her behind
He found a brand new love instead.
He took a walk to clear his mind
Then asked her when they could be wed.
seeking one kind soul
to complement and complete
a heart rebounding
You are left handed
I am right
You are out of reach
I am out of sight
You are in another state
I am on my own
You are with someone else
I am living alone
You pretended you needed me
I wondered why
You said I was your everything
I believed your lie
You made promises
I thought you could keep
You were shallow
I was deep
You hid your feelings
I suspected you played around
You were toxic for me
I was your rebound
Something's not right thought Horace Hound
As he sprang from his bed with a harried bound
To rush outside while he grumbled and frowned.
Singing birds made a sweet soft sound
And tiny sprouts had appeared all round.
Branches of trees that had lately stayed browned
With green leaves and buds were now regally crowned.
Musky earth smells that were quite profound
Arose from the dark damp garden's ground.
When under the oak tree he noticed a mound
His uneasy thoughts did a quick turn around.
Spring had come with its warm rebound,
And under the dirt was a bone to be found.

Before even one tear could dry
She caught a young man on the fly
Her fingers got wet
But that's what you get
Whenever you squeeze an hard guy!
I was crushed by the break up of you
Broken inside I didn’t know what to do
Tormented by memories and time we once spent
Crying tears for you was a daily event
You painted your words like a work of art
Can you feel the rebound of my broken heart
I picked up the shattered pieces right from the start
Can you feel the rebound of my broken heart
My inner emotions almost tore my soul apart
Can you feel the rebound of my broken heart
I threw away pictures and other things I kept
Pausing for one last glance of what was as I wept
Such good times were not so long ago
Now its all gone and with nothing left to show
You painted your words like a work of art
Can you feel the rebound of my broken heart
I picked up the shattered pieces right from the start
Can you feel the rebound of my broken heart
My inner emotions almost tore my soul apart
Can you feel the rebound of my broken heart
Letter I wrote you are ash to the fire
A new life for me is all that I desire
Everything we had is now been thrown away
I’ll be stronger now and tomorrow is another day
You painted your words like a work of art
Can you feel the rebound of my broken heart
I picked up the shattered pieces right from the start
Can you feel the rebound of my broken heart
My inner emotions almost tore my soul apart
Can you feel the rebound of my broken heart

Its 2am. I left mascara stains on his favourite shirt.
This show isn't worth
the cost of admission
but you have to attend
as the sole exhibition
You’re the audience,
lead role, and critic
bored by the drama
engaged as a cynic
Directed by the subconscious
your character is formed
and you watch in horror
as you helplessly perform
The theatrics are not lacking
the drama is realistic
the storyline is tragic
and the plot is narcissistic
Amused by your pathetic role
but finding the humor cruel
you call an intermission
and refuse to play the fool
Concealed behind a curtain
you change costumes from your rack
demanding the director take a seat
as you lead your own comeback
Resuming the production
having changed all the narration
you curtsy when you end the show
and accept standing ovation
Thankful that it's over
you run towards the exit door
determined to escape the stage
and any chance of an encore
"It" came out of nowhere
and stood before me
glaring with green eyes
because I had a purpose
a meaning in my life
a reason to survive
there was nothing I had asked of "It"
only to "step aside"
because my path was clear
stay the course of my goals
my gifts my prize
as that is the only law of my hearing
my will and to which nobly I abide
"It" intended to stop me
and to deter my road to glory
what's with this thing
I asked myself
only The Lord knows the story
"It" launched at me
swinging high and low
hitting me with its best shot
hurt and dazed
from the onslaught of blows
I... fell to the ground
but strength came from deep within me
rising me up thus... I rebound
with new-found motivation
blessed by Kings renowned
You are not through just yet!
laughs their voices in my head
let’em waste its energy
take the heat we know it's hot
but hold firm {yet a little longer}
to unleash the best that you've got!
"Bravo!" Say we;
and with great acuity
for "It" will come to find
that you are being guided
by the betterment of mankind
{to share of our good cheer
goodwill and great wealth}
"It" must be misinformed
or maybe "It" simply forgot
that you will get through "It"
like "It" or not!
It was a single loving light
That came from a fight
Nowhere in sight
Was there a defending knight
A very sporting miss
Dropping her guard during an emotional kiss
He was a guy
With a faithful image, no lie
It was one thing or another
And not ready to be a mother
Separating the two
No longer saying ‘I love you’
Instead “we are through”
Headed to the other coast
She did post
On her web page
Writing a message of rage
When things calmed down
Wanting to stay tone and brown
She sat on a towel
Listening to the waves howl
A figure emerged from the water
Looking to respect daddy’s daughter
Sandy blonde curl
Flirted with her
Being a Gidget girl
Wanting to twirl
A fantasy in the mind
Definitely worthy of her time
In a minute she decided to explore
Wondering if this tease was anything more
As nature fingered its way
Her voice silent, nothing to say
He gazed into her eyes
And expected, not a surprise
A salty mist
Wiping off both from the single’s list
Oblivious when the calendars flip
Building trust every time they touched each other’s lips
Then he did propose
Giving her a ring and a rose
A wedding under the cross
Later a garter tossed
If there is a broken heart
Pick up the chips, make a new start
Throw out a line
Do not care if it is declined
Discard those delusional magical potions
Since love can illuminate appearing from any ocean
flowers say hello
a coming snowstorm says no
winter's cold rebound

It comes and goes like bad weather
My forecast is never the same
I cause dysfunction in my household
I cannot speak their names
My hurt runs deep inside my veins
I try to bleed it out
I cannot go all the way with it
For Heaven’s Land I must seek out
So, I suffer for the day and
Try to sleep for eternity
But, when I awake it’s still there
What’s become of me?
I’ve lost my soul and my personality
I’m nowhere to be found
The music in me is silenced
The guilt and defense all around
I want spring to come,
flowers around, sweet air to breathe.
I want to................ rebound.

I was your rebound girl, you just used me to get over her
My feelings never mattered; I was just there for your pleasure.
Now you are over her I am out the door.
My love never mattered?
I fell in love with your family, your mom and dad… were they in on the plan?
I just didn't matter, I was just there for your pleasure
I can't believe no one cared about my heart. I didn't matter?
I was just there for your comfort so now that you don't hurt , I am toss to the ground
I am broken and wrecked now that you are on to your new lover, the love of your life. You got your pleasure and I never mattered. I was your rebound girl
On the rebound, a little scared
Am I moving too fast?
Foot on the gas
Should I stop here?
Never felt so good! Never like this!
On top of this mountain!
Feels so damn good!
Maybe just catch my breath!
Euphoria meets forlorn
Though Hearts and minds in sync
Pen and paper the medium
Dare to love another mortal blindly?
Take a good hard look!
See the whole picture?
Follow head or heart?
Too late! I’m already there!
