Breakup Poems - Poems about Breakup

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...

Court Jester
You joined the Navy. I joined the circus. I was always a clown, and you were always so serious. ...

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...

Snowstorm
I danced with you through a snowstorm. You danced with me through the rain. Now I dance alone every winter, and cry every time that it rains. I see your residual image; I blink, and then you fade away. ...

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...

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...

No More Dignity
I want... Well- It's just- like... Oh, give me some decency. Don't tell me to tell you what I want when you won't even tell me how you feel. Don't expect me to do all of the lifting, it is both of our responsibilities. Don't let this fall on me, to tell you what I think when you won't even tell me...

Falling
“Come here” You said, gesturing to the sunset. I climbed up beside you, my legs dangling over the edge of the railing. My breath sped up as you put your hand on my back The thumping of my heart was felt all the way in my ears I relaxed into your touch just enough for you to have complete control I exhaled a...

The Consequences Of Love
Love is a virtue, love is a curse, it can be for the better, or for the worse, love can take a heavy toll, love can sometimes take control, but love is flexible, love can be changed, relying on love, makes people no longer the same. Love you hope to receive for all time, love...

Matters On Breakup Relationship
If the relationship ends here let it end No matter how beautiful the watch if it has lost battery It's worth zero, there is beauty but waiting it's useless The relationship that wants to end don't hold it on No matter how long or deep the relationship is It is better to end it up...
