Breakup Poems - Poems about Breakup

HAHA I'M MANIC
All that remains of our love is a faded Polaroid, a carton of cigarettes, and two cases of beer. I'll forget you soon, but for now, I'm cracking open another one— let's hope these memories blur!...

WELCOME TO THE SLAUGHTER
I didn’t want to light the flame, But damn, you handed me the match. We played a bitter little game— Now neither one can scratch the scratch. I offered peace, I begged, I tried, You laughed and chose the sword instead. So now the happy parts have died— I burned the photos in my head. The goal was never you or me, It somehow...

This Damn Song
All I want in this whole world is someone to love, Someone to hold, to cherish, to dream of. All I need is someone to comfort me— To stand by my side, to help set me free. Someone to talk to, to whisper things to, Someone, my dear… someone like you. Someone who'll love me, and I’ll love them back, Someone who’s...

Her Name, Mine
We sat where the orchard meets the dusk, Legs folded like unopened letters. She laughed, and the wind— Traitorous — carried it straight through me. There was dirt beneath our nails, Scratched from some old pretending, And sap on our skin like guilt. We called it a game, that closeness, Two girls learning the language Of not touching. She wore her hair long, like mine— A...

WHAT I WISH MY FATHER TOLD ME
My father leave me since child, I was about seven years old, Nothing I remember which he told, Than mother ice cream to sold. My father have not yet died, But he has kept me aside, Phoning him a lot I have tried, My calls ended without being applied. Sometimes I fill myself bad, Like I am not his blood, How he has keep himself...

Breakup
I still remember the day You promised you'd stay. Thought, not even in my dreams How swiftly you could slip away! Fights were meant to happer But wasn't love to abandon. Had you known the consequence Our future would be to our convenience. Whom should I blame For my efforts are in vain? In the throes of love I was...

Firefly
If I had to use one word to describe our relationship it would be ‘dim’ Never something But never nothing No, we never talked about it like we were each others’ sun Maybe a flickering star at best Like a needle in a haystack It wasn’t apparent to everyone But at least it was there ...

Freeze
The sunset tides will wash me away Jaded, but I try And now I stand to hear my breathless breaths. Over the white noise, screaming out "Sunrise, sunset, can you wash away the rain?" My...

The Mile Long Tree
Kill off the Mile Long Tree For anyone who cares only cares about everyone Revelation in mind, we don't feel the same You should sort through your thick skull, my friend. Each twig, a secret forever held Each leaf, a statement never expelled. My dear dreamcatcher, though my dearest is radical, You're being ripped out by your roots, big buddy. You're calling for...

It Still Hurts
Doesn’t matter how long it’s been It still hurts after 7 months I couldn’t be the friend you deserved So you severed ties You wanted to protect your peace Cannot blame you Seven months later I still grieve the friend I thought you were I failed to be the friend I was supposed to be But your screaming and half truths still...

Bridges
Distance, even for a short while, still is Whether it’s a river or a stream, you still need a bridge But bridges burn And even when they don’t They weather They rot They fall apart so slowly You don’t notice until the floorboards have collapsed beneath you And you’re left with nothing Just the remnants of the bond you thought would last forever Clutched to...

Familiar
People may think that They know who this poem is about But they don’t, And they never will. I’ve met this boy. I haven’t known him long. But it feels like he’s been My friend since birth. He seems so familiar.. But I’ve never met him before. Calls that were hours and hours, As if we had all the time in the...

Premium Member You - Apr 10
I woke this morning, lying next to you; Contemplating your thighs, your breasts, your face, as you still slept at rest in a dream’s embrace, my eyes all over your fair features flew… I lingered here and there—a glance askew caught subtle movements in that furtive place beneath your eyelids, wondering what chase your soul pursued in the other blue… You then...

Simply Lost
You love me, but somewhere along the way, I couldn’t keep up, couldn’t stay, your words stopped meaning what they once did, and I felt lost in what we hid. You gave me all, I couldn’t give back, I thought I was ready, but I lost track. I tried to make it work, tried to find the key, but the truth was clear...

Absence
You're gone. truly, fully, seriously, and utterly gone. Over time, I got used to your presence. like a parasite that you don't want to be rid of. I gave you a chance to make it right, but it wasn't all there as it was before. Sorry doesn't fix a broken bottle, and it cannot put my heart back in...
