Break Ups Poems - Poems about Break Ups

Fade

I breathe hurt
What if all those rumors were true?
The rumors that shipping two young people together only made it true?
What if those rumors were so true that I tried so hard to make things work when I realized I was rushing?
No, it didn’t go that far, 
My one true friend isn’t with me, not in

Jealousy

I don’t wanna lose myself 
To something so trivial 
I just want something 
That I’ve been missing 

I don’t know what 
The missing piece is
You had it and you’re gone
Can you return it back

I’m tired
Too tired of 
Getting upset 
Cause you left

I’d destroy everything 
Just to find you again 
But you’re not 
Worth everything 

You

Fragile

I know we had downs
But we also had ups 
Do I regret this
Do I wanna forget it all?

Right now I can’t tell
I do wanna say 
I appreciate that 
You stuck through this

Staying by my side
Even when I got ugly 
And drove our relationship
Into the dirt

I’m glad we got out
We didn’t get caught
In the explosion 
This

Claustrophobia

Someone broke my best friend’s heart.
They’d been together throughout the entire lock-down.
And even though it looks like we’re entering a freer time,
he said it felt like she’d become part of the claustrophobia.

Explanations can snag on nerves like fishhooks.

Crystal Clear Song Version

Here we ago again. You tell me you're not sure

Don't know what you're feeling. I've heard this all before.

You have my heart in limbo. What am I doing wrong?

Why am I not enough for you? Why am holding on?

 

CHORUS

Times up. I'm done with waiting. C'mon make up your mind

Are we going somewhere? Or do

You and I Forever

I don't know 
On what to do
With heart
Barely intact
Too much wound to sew
I miss you
Sadly
I need you
Badly
Come to me
And hug me
Hold me tight my dear
Please wipe away your tears
You 
And I forever
