Breakups Poems - Poems about 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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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,...

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....

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....

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 Just...

Dark crown positions an imminent moon, while the car benign a simple swan tune, by a male world-renowned steady croon, quaffs from a sweetheart, abrupt swoon, as twain souls dissolution, way too soon, while a solo spirit on, strangely immune, limits another whose heart is now hewn, of an unsalted berry to a strained prune. 2019 December 31...
