Breakups Poems

My First Love

Just smiling, shining & indivisible,
All at the broader punch!
Alone approached the dependable,
Before-head a worst crunch.

My heart heading innocent,
Gave-up myself, my soul.
Wasn’t sure of the pretend,
To her, just in a joule!

She went, her shadows too,
Broke my heart in a bitter truth.
Cracked the confidence inside a blow,
I am at North, she’s at South!

You certainly would have,
What I

Slow motion or is it a Pull back with breakups

In current times, breaking up is often referred to as a slow-motion breakup, or as the new generation might say, "pulling back." The lyrics of songs reflect the sentiment that breaking up is challenging, though it is approached differently today.

Whenever I approached two to three years into a relationship,
I recall sensing the gradual shift or

Heart to Heart

Allow me to let that pain go away.
Allow me to supply you with consolation.

Receive me , authentic and raw.
Accept the warmth of my tender plea.

I’m unveiling my soul , vulnerable and bare,
to let you behold me, without disguise or care.
If your heart resonates , listen to its gentle tone,
and love me for who I am

In The Garden

In our garden, the space of shared delight
Are fruits of our many wonders created
Through smiles and passion, the site
Of our beings bonded and sated.

Our red roses blossom in magical splendour,
Foliage of the many plants wave in glee
To a tune we embrace, our spirits soar
Under rays of a warm sun, we decree-

I love this garden of

sighs

We’re coming up on the spooky pumpkin-latte season, when days suddenly end, while I’m busy in some sterile, fluorescent chemistry-lab and there’s nothing to do but walk down dark science-hill to the dorm.

Is that rustling the sound of leaves or footsteps?  The most effective horror stories come from spaces of doubt and hover between

sperm whales

What happens when someone falls out of love?

Is there a single, frozen in amber, sanctimonious moment when
you decide you’re too good for whomever - the falling-out moment
- where imperfections are revealed like a magic trick?

“Huh,” you find yourself saying, “Weren’t you cuter, half-an-hour ago?

Or is it a slow, drip, drip, drip Chinese-water-torture-like seepage?

Maybe breakups are

it's simple

I don’t know, I don’t care,
if you’re going to the party
or you won’t be there

I don’t give you a thought
you’re not on my mind
and if I ever think of you
I’m not very kind

Now that you’re gone
I’m feeling better
Now that you’re gone
I’ll feel that way forever

I laugh when I hear,
that you’re under pressure
or under the weather

Blood Sucker

I once thought you were powerful
Elusive
As smart and as quick as Dracula himself
You kept me with your gaze
And your wanton touch

Shiny things a little at a time
kept me like a worm on a hook
But after awhile I saw the truth
You are no vampire
You are a mosquito

Breakups and Shake-Ups

Breakups and shake-ups
All that matters is that you wake up and
Understand that everything is for a season!
Pushing yourself beyond the borders of time 
Will give you a reason to appreciate life and
Understand the orientation of purpose!

The love you give will not always be the love you receive
The love you give will not always be the

Shooting Birds At the Moon

Was I maudlin over our breakup? For a minute.

If I think of you now, it’s like a slideshow of unflattering images.

At the time, my breakup buddies reminded me you were a bad
choice - like a brand of deodorant that gave me a rash or fashionable shoes that chafed, even after they were stretched.

“Ruca,” my girlfriends

Fragile Concrete

I loved you
I lusted you
I needed you
I trusted you
I imagined you
I imagined you to a fault
I imagined you at the expense of your reality
I lived in duality
Love and lust
Lust and love
red flags ignored
seeking connection when lonely and bored
A person who is to many people an idol
I entertained you while Idle
and your games made me entertain

I Want To Believe

Haven’t been able to move from this bed
Only just turned on my room light at 6 p.m.
All these tears pulled out by this sinking feeling
I feel like I know you, but do I really?
Moved your present from last month into my closet
Back when I thought this could be everything I wanted
Finally felt I’d arrived home,

The Slap

There should be clearer signs, 
as a relationship starts to break up
- the hiss of steam, a twist of smoke perhaps 
or debris distributed across a hot,
cloudless, summer evening sky.
That way, the force of recognition 
wouldn’t be so much of a slap.

Orphic Spells

Ex lovebirds of 
the tamest passion can turn 
so predatory.

Passive aggressive
schoolboys who mock whistle at
ex-girlfriends for spite.

Who scatter book bag
contents in mock accidents
for supposed revenge.

As witchcraft conjured
by the nonbelligerent
to silence the bully

I summon some sweet, 
musical, lascivious
words as orphic spells

In self-effacing 
defense to tame the awful
beast with dirty magic.

My Picture

Their love affair 
Was coming to an end
He'd felt the shadow 
Of it
For a while now

It started
With subtle 
Changes 
In her ways with him
Then ones so drastic
And harsh
He wondered 
If their love
Had ever even really been

She couldn't see
How her actions 
Sliced through him
Like a knife
His cries and pleas
Were mute to her now
Any that penetrated through
