Breaking Up Poems

Breaking Up

You're breaking up,
a once strong signal
is being hacked by a light eroding time.

Pixels are blinking in and out,
a memory thread is fraying,
your features and voice disappearing,
peeling away from a past picture
once framed by a familiar clarity.

An entropy has led to a forgetfulness,
a loss I can no longer patch together.

I was once so confident
of your enduring

Breaking up is hard to do

You broke my heart and walked out of my life, 
I didn’t know loving you would come with a price. 
Now your gone and I can't think straight, 
You consume all of me, frozen in time alone I wait. 
What is it that keeps me here feeling this way, 
Why can't I be like you

Breaking Up Is Tough

They say that breaking up is tough,
now I know that it’s true,
one day we’ll go separate ways,
and all the blame’s on you.

Maybe we shared some good times,
up and down all those years,
but baby far too often now,
you’ve reduced me to tears.

Some nights you’ve kept me awake,
until the early hours,
but never brought me breakfast,
or even bought

Premium MemberBreaking Up Is Hard To Do

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

Breaking Up

One of the very 
Sad moment in life Is to
Break up with  partner 

While you still loving 
Each others. I 've assisted 
Many couples who 

Could   make suicide
Because of breaking up their 
Relationships when 

They were still Loving 
Each others and forced to break
Up by situation.

a spring break-up
the ice laments its lover
                           …thunder on the pond

Breaking Up With Debbie

She has the ‘screws’.
Her hips are 'creaky'
her leg is 'playing up.’

I yell into her good ear.
"Nice Morning Freda!"

"Gout." She says,
still following a conversation in her head.
"I don't even drink!"
I know this is a stretch
for I am her secret `pusher'.

"I'm going out later, can I get you anything?"

She looks directly at me at last.
She has been

Premium MemberBreaking Up Is Hard To Do

Don - they tell me you're leaving
I can't believe it's true,
that we’ll get to live without you.

You’ll go away - govern-mentally,
after all this pain and misery.
When you go - I won’t miss you,
You never said a thing that was true.

Remember when - you hoaxed the virus fight.
What an idiot - you never got it right.

I Got Your Letter As School Started

----------

Thirty tear-splashed pages
My response with runny ink
Not us anymore, don't you think?
Fire consumed it in a blink

You just left me!
Okay, you had a chance
You could not pass up
For our romance
I get that but...

I said someday I'd marry you
You threw it right in my face
So I'm the non-Greek Catholic geek?
Well, stick this in your Orthodox socks
That's

Premium MemberThe Bands Breaking Up

smashed the drums
wrings sweating hands

boom...boom
trumpet puffed cheeks

      notorious red
     toot...toot...toot

band sways
feet tapping

spit sprays
    silver flute

fame’s up front
poetically sweet

audience yawns; cymbals
crash

dull drums rev it up

Beckoning

Beckoning
by Michael R. Burch 
 
Yesterday the wind whispered my name
while the blazing locks
of her rampant mane
lay heavy on mine.
And yesterday
I saw the way
the wind caressed tall pines
in forests laced by glinting streams
and thick with tangled vines.
And though she reached
for me in her sleep,
the touch I felt was Time's.

This is another one of my early

Premium MemberFin De Partie

Fin de Partie.  End of party.
Fin.  The end.  The end.
Littered streets, for it was hearty;
First rapture to dead-end.

You were the first, the last, Cherie-
The drumbeat of my heart.
Now the sun's like a cherry,
And shadows will soon start!

Fin de partie.  Now the party's done;
And fervor and joys just past.
The fun we had-second

You'Re Gonna Think of 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
